Walkspeed gets back to the previous one even if conditions aren't met

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hello developers,
I got an issue while scripting my game. Let me show my script first.

local function highSpeed(toggle)
	local ws
	if toggle then ws = 20
	else ws = 16
	end
	for _,player in pairs(playersService:GetPlayers()) do
		local character = player.Character
		if character then character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = ws end
		player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
			char:WaitForChild("Humanoid").WalkSpeed = ws
		end)
	end
	playersService.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
		local character = plr.Character
		if character then character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = ws end
		plr.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
			char:WaitForChild("Humanoid").WalkSpeed = ws
		end)
	end)
end

So in this function, the ws variable is supposed to change according to the toggle. If the toggle is true, then ws is supposed to be 20, else it is supposed to be 16. It works fine. It changes the walkspeed to 16 when the command is ran with the parameter false. But the issue is, once my walkspeed is 16, If I reset the character, my walkspeed gets back to 20. Any help?

Thanking you in advance,

Yep, save the Walkspeed in an IntValue in the Player. So instead of saving it under ws, do something like:


game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    local ws = Instance.new("IntValue",player) --Define the player beforehand.
    if toggle then
        ws.Value = 20
    else
        ws.Value = 16
    end
    player.CharacterAppearanceLoaded:Connect(function(character)
        character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = ws.Value
    end)
end)

But of course insert the necessary lines of code in between; if any.
