UIS JumpRequest no longer firing for custom characters after spawning in

I’ve been using JumpRequest for jump cooldowns for my custom characters but it is no longer working. My characters are created on the server and then set to the player when ready, with the client side connections being set afterwards with CharacterAdded.

I’ve provided a repo file, this behavior doesn’t happen with default characters through :LoadCharacter(), only custom ones set through Player.Character.

JumpBugRepo.rbxl (60.6 KB)

Expected behavior

UserInputService.JumpRequest should be firing AFTER the players character is added, but no longer does so.

Hi!

When was the last time this did work correctly?

3

Only a few days ago, I’ve had this system for awhile without any changes made to it.

This is still happening by the way. It doesn’t fire with custom characters, just tested it.

Is there any update on when this will be fixed?

---- Edit:

For anyone else facing this problem, here’s an inefficient way of getting your onJumpRequest functions to work:
(Must be in a local script)

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")

local plr = Players.LocalPlayer

local plrChar:Model = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()

local PlrGui = plr:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")

local TouchGui:ScreenGui = nil
local TouchControlFrame:Frame = nil
local JumpButton:ImageButton = nil

local JumpButtonConnection:RBXScriptConnection = nil

local function onJumpRequest()
	-- Do jumping logic here
end

local function DetectMobileControls(NewChildInstance)
	if NewChildInstance:IsA("ScreenGui") and NewChildInstance.Name == "TouchGui" then
		local hopefullyTouchControlFrame = NewChildInstance:FindFirstChild("TouchControlFrame")
		if hopefullyTouchControlFrame ~= nil and hopefullyTouchControlFrame:IsA("Frame") then
			local hopefullyJumpButton = hopefullyTouchControlFrame:FindFirstChild("JumpButton")
			if hopefullyJumpButton ~= nil and hopefullyJumpButton:IsA("ImageButton") then
			
				TouchGui = NewChildInstance
				
				TouchControlFrame = hopefullyTouchControlFrame
				
				JumpButton = hopefullyJumpButton
				
				if JumpButtonConnection ~= nil then
					JumpButtonConnection:Disconnect()
				end
				
				JumpButtonConnection = JumpButton.MouseButton1Down:Connect(onJumpRequest)
				
			end
		end
		

	end
end

PlrGui.ChildAdded:Connect(DetectMobileControls)

UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(InputObject, gameProcessedEvent)
	if (InputObject.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Space or InputObject.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.ButtonA) then
		onJumpRequest()
	end
end)

for _, child in PlrGui:GetChildren() do
	DetectMobileControls(child)
end

--This doesn't work with our new Custom Character System
---game:GetService("UserInputService").JumpRequest:Connect(onJumpRequest)

I just spent like hours trying to figure out why my double jump script wasn’t working after I changed my character with my morph script. I asked ChatGPT many times to fix it, and I even went to Claude and asked it what was wrong, none of them could tell me anything. After adding print statements I figured out that JumpRequest stops firing after changing my character. That’s when I came to the DevForum and found this script that is a life saver, thank you so much for making it.
