my "make player run" script doesnt work after respawning

[surreal flower]

basically this code makes the player run when holding shift, but it doesnt work after respawning, can someone help me with this

[safe bear]

Is this a starter character or starter player script

if you get any issues, consider just using this: https://www.roblox.com/library/12840827723/SHIFT-TO-SPRINT-WITH-STAMINA-BAR

issue with this is that you're referencing the player's character only one time, and that one reference is obtained the very first time the player spawns. when they die and respawn, a new character is created, and the old one is destroyed/removed. your code would effectively be changing the walkspeed of the very first character, not the current one.

a workaround to this would be to change the assign the character variable the player's new character each time upon respawning

local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local character = player.LocalPlayer or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local function doStuff()
  character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = math.random(1,500)
end
while true do
  doStuff()
  task.wait()
end
player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(newCharacter)
  character = newCharacter
end)

something like this could work, but i think it could lead to some errors

it would fix your problem though

but edge cases like a player trying to sprint when their character doesn't have a humanoid might make the script error

just use protected function calls to mitigate that
