I’ve seen multiple posts but I can’t seem to replicate them. Can anyone help with this and give me the most logically plausible solution?

Another way is to check if Humanoid.MoveDirecton’s magnitude is 0. But, do not use .Magnitude as we can just use the dot product instead (magnitude has square root calculations which can be expensive). You can simply do:
if hum.MoveDirection:Dot(hum.MoveDirection) == 0 then
end
The dot product of a vector with itself is its magnitude squared. Meaning, if the magnitude if 0 or 1, the square would also be 0 or 1. Speaking of 0 and 1, MoveDirection’s magnitude (and dot product with itself) can only be those numbers. If the player is moving ever so slightly, it still makes the vector 1 stud long, there is no in-between. Similarly, you can check if the player is moving using two ways:
if hum.MoveDirection:Dot(hum.MoveDirection) == 1 then
end
--or
if hum.MoveDirection:Dot(hum.MoveDirection) > 0 then
end
--both are valid

You could see if their velocity is less than 1. If their velocity is less than 1, they are likely idle.

Better way:
if hum.MoveDirection == Vector3.zero then
end
Don’t unnecessarily overcomplicate it
