Unable to get falling speed of player?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

I want to print the falling speed of the player as they fall, but instead it only prints when the player has landed. How can I get this to constantly print while they fall (so I can kill them if they reach certain speeds)

Humanoid.StateChanged:Connect(function(old, new)
	if old ~= Enum.HumanoidStateType.Freefall then return end
	
	print(Character.HumanoidRootPart.AssemblyLinearVelocity.Y)
end)

Basically, you can have a variable called “recording” and by default it is set to false.

local recording = false

Then, when the player jumps off something, it sets recording to true. But when the player lands, it sets it to false.

local recording = false
script.Parent.HumanoidChanged:Connect(function(old, new)
     if new == Enum.HumanoidStateType.Freefall then
          recording = true
     else if new == Enum.HumanoidStateType.Landed or new == Enum.HumanoidStateType.Running then
          recording = false
     end
end)

Now, in a while wait() loop (there is probably a less laggier alternative to this, but I’m not sure) if it is recording, then it prints the players falling speed.

Full script:

local recording = false
script.Parent.Humanoid.StateChanged:Connect(function(old, new)
	if new == Enum.HumanoidStateType.Freefall then
		recording = true
	else if new == Enum.HumanoidStateType.Landed or new == Enum.HumanoidStateType.Running then
			recording = false
		end
	endend)
while wait() do
	if recording == true then
		print(script.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.AssemblyLinearVelocity.Y)
	end
end

local lastY = 0
Humanoid.StateChanged:Connect(function(old, new)
	if new == Enum.HumanoidStateType.Freefall then
        while Humanoid:GetState() == Enum.HumanoidStateType.Freefall do
            lastY = Character.HumanoidRootPart.AssemblyLinearVelocity.Y
            wait(0.1) 
        end
    end
    if old.Name == "Freefall" then -- sry kinda lazy to type in boring long enum.blablabla
        -- Player landed with Y velocity lastY
        lastY = 0
    end
end)
