Walkspeed does not work, I think it is a bug

  1. My scripts
    I have a script here, which I think should work, but does not:
local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local function onPlayerAdded(plr)
	local char = plr.Character
	if char then
		local hum = char.Humanoid
		hum.WalkSpeed = 0
	end
end

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(onPlayerAdded)
  1. What solutions have you tried so far?
  • Looking up how to change walkspeed e.g.
wait(1)
game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 0
  • Restarting studio
  • Restarting my computer
#2 
local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local function onPlayerAdded(plr)
    pcall(function()
        repeat until plr.Character and plr.Character.Humanoid

        plr.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 0
    end)
end

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(onPlayerAdded)

Just added a repeat loop to wait for the Humanoid and Character, as well as added a pcall just in case the humanoid doesn’t exist.

I believe this script is better for performance due to it only firing once.

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local function onPlayerAdded(plr)
    pcall(function()
        plr.CharacterAdded:Wait() -- yields the thread until the character is added

        plr.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 0
    end)
end

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(onPlayerAdded)`
#4 
local Game = game
local Players = Game:GetService("Players")

local function OnPlayerAdded(Player)
	local function OnCharacterAdded(Character)
		local Humanoid = Character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid") or Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid", 5)
		if not Humanoid then return end
		Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 0 --Freeze movement.
	end
	
	Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(OnCharacterAdded)
end

Player.CharacterAdded:Connect(OnPlayerAdded)

No need for pcall(), which has a considerably poor overhead.
