What would be the best approach to making a Client Input Handler/Manager?

I’m trying to handle all of my game’s input from sprinting, dashing, skill usage, etc.

Any help would be useful.

Local Scripts and Module Scripts.

If you just want a system that is all in one script, you could use a single local script in ReplicatedFirst
I would suggest using modules to do most of the work and only use a central local script to initialize the modules and/or sense inputs like key presses

By having all these scripts and modules connected you can easily pass values like a sprinting boolean when programming more complicated movement, though most of it is up to you there isn’t a best way to do it.

I did the state handling in a script by making a table for each player in the game that would look like the table below and adding it to a module table with their name as the key for indexing

{
   blocking: boolean,
   sprinting: boolean,
   etc...
}

I wanted to respond to this to ask if it would be efficient to go about handling input the module way as you said like

userinputservice.InputBegan:connect(function(input)
  someHandlerModule[input]()
end)
