Walking Detector

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hello Devforum Browser!

I am making a game and one of the features requires me to detect if a player is walking. So I am just curious is it possible to detect player movement?

Thank You For Your Time!

Hi!
You can do this by checking the HumanoidStateType of the character’s humanoid…
This here shows you how to detect when it changes and when the player is walking: HumanoidStateType | Roblox Creator Documentation
Hope this helps

Im going to try this I will let you know if it works!

local prev, prevDelta
local avgSpeed = {}

function average(numbers)
	local sum = 0
	for i,v in pairs(numbers) do
		sum = sum + v
	end
	return sum / #numbers
end

game:GetService("RunService").RenderStepped:Connect(function()
	--check if character exists
	if game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character then
		if game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart") then
			if prev then
				--calculate speed, and average the last 10 measures
				local newSpeed = (1 / (tick() - prevDelta)) * (game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position - prev).Magnitude
				table.insert(avgSpeed,1,newSpeed)
				if #avgSpeed > 10 then
					table.remove(avgSpeed,#avgSpeed)
				end
				
				
                                if math.floor(average(avgSpeed)) > 0 then
                                  print("Walking")
                                end
			end
			--update the tracked position
			prev = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position
			prevDelta = tick()
		end
	end	
end)

I’m pretty sure you can use HumanoidStateType to detect if a players character is running, swimming, jumping, walking, etc.

local char = script.Parent
local hum = char:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
if hum.StateType == Enum.HumanoidStateType.Walking or hum.StateType == Enum.HumanoidStateType.Running then
       --code
end

Im pretty sure this works, correct me if im wrong.

Wow! Thanks for the code. I will test this out!

Literally just check if the Humanoid.MoveDirection magnitude isnt equal to 0
