Updating Walkspeed in real time

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
, ,
#1

So, I am working on a speed simulator-type game, where a player’s speed is determined based on a value,

How can I update the player’s speed in real-time as they click?
I am willing to provide any script or resource that you might need to help answer this question

#2

What do you mean by in real time? What other option would there be?

#3

Add to their Humanoid.WalkSpeed property, this will make them faster.

The default is 16

#4

Once the value change, the speed changes aswell is what i meant, sorry for the confusion

oh ok then. Do you have a leaderboard script or a DataStore script in your game?

#7

it is in #help-and-feedback:scripting-support

#8

I have not yet implemented datastore, but I do have leaderstats, yes

I believe you can do both of these at the same time. In pseudocode, it would be like this:

mouse clicked
     change number value object or variable by some amount
     walkspeed += that number/variable * some ratio to compensate (you don't need this if you want the value to be one to one)

How would I implement that into my current “Click Script”?

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Speed = player:WaitForChild("leaderstats"):WaitForChild("Speed")
local sound = script["Pop Sound!"]
debounce = true


game:GetService("UserInputService").InputBegan:Connect(function(input, engine_processed)
if engine_processed then
		return
	end

	if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 then
		if debounce == true then
			debounce = false
			Speed.Value = Speed.Value +1
			sound:Play()
			wait(0.15)
			debounce = true
		end
	end
end)

ok so what you want to do is whenever the value changes add to the walkspeed this script would work I think but you would need to change the Values and stuff depending on how much they get per click

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)

-- add in all your leaderstats
 [Value containing your Speed/Clicks].Changed:Connect(function()

  local Char = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait() -- I think that is how it works but unsure on the second bit
  if not Char then return end
  local Hum = Char.Humanoid
  if not Hum then return end
  Hum.WalkSpeed =  ([Value containing your Speed/Clicks].Value/[put i value here but it will be alot of trial and error to get the best result]) + 16


 end)
end)

I haven’t tested this btw so there may be bugs

#12

After speed value = speed.value + 1, you would want to change the player speed as well with the Speed.Value

you can do that with a propertychangedsignal when the value changes you set the walkspeed to the value value

#15

I don’t think you truly need a separate value. Couldn’t you just use a script that changes Humanoid.Walkspeed?
I don’t even think a separate value is needed for data-saving.

#16

Im not quite sure what you mean by that, could you perhaps give an example?

This worked for me, thank you a lot!
