chat i dont code offten so im not the best at diagnosing whats wrong but whatd i do wrong???

[dire condor]

nothing, just that u didnt connect the func to the actual UIS event

[pliant fossil]

how do i do that

i usally build sorry not to sure about alot of thing

s

[dire condor]

UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(sprint)

but u would use

Enum

if Enum.UserInputType == Shift then

[pliant fossil]

alright thanks bro

[dire condor]

Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift i think

[pliant fossil]

ohh

[dire condor]

and u should do

if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift then
...
end

[pliant fossil]

i have the script in starter player is that alright? or would that mess soemthign up

[dire condor]

yes, it needs to be a localscript and having it in starterplayerscripts is good, so only run when the player is loaded

[pliant fossil]

alright

[dull notch]

don't create the function inside the UIS event, instead put it outside before the event and call it using the UIS event

[fiery kelp]

** You are now Level 7! **

[pliant fossil]

what is a UIS event?

nvm

im acutally sped

[dull notch]

Userinputservice

[pliant fossil]

how

[dull notch]

pit the "if Enum" outside

and the rest

[pliant fossil]

like this ? ```lua
local Shift = Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local player = script.Parent

if Enum.KeyCode == Shift then
    player.Parent.CharacterWalkSpeed = (16)

end

@dull notch

[dull notch]

wait I'll remake your code

[pliant fossil]

alright

[dull notch]

local shift = Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService"(
local player = script.Parent
local Character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local humanoid = character:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Humanoid")

local function sprint()
humanoid.WalkSpeed = 30
end

UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, isProcessed)
if input.KeyCode == shift then
sprint()
end
end)

UserInputService.InputEnded:Connect(function(input, isProcessed)
if input.KeyCode == shift then
humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16
end
end)

[dull notch]

there you go

@pliant fossil

[pliant fossil]

damn that js made it so much more complicated than id think 😭

[dull notch]

yeah but I think it works

I have made a game with Sprint

[pliant fossil]

alright im gunna try to use your code and work it into what i made i dont like blatenly copieying

[hexed grove]

no it will not work

[pliant fossil]

so ill let yk when it works

[hexed grove]

for multiple reasons

[dull notch]

whyM

[hexed grove]

1. there is a flipped bracket, 2 the parent of the script is not the player object but rather PlayerScripts

[dull notch]

the local script is on StarterPlayerScripts

[hexed grove]

yes..

which is then parented to playerscripts in player on runtime

[dull notch]

local shift = Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local player = script.Parent
local Character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local humanoid = character:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Humanoid")

local function sprint()
humanoid.WalkSpeed = 30
end

UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, isProcessed)
if input.KeyCode == shift then
sprint()
end
end)

UserInputService.InputEnded:Connect(function(input, isProcessed)
if input.KeyCode == shift then
humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16
end
end)

[dull notch]

@pliant fossil

[hexed grove]

also im 99% sure this breaks when you respawn

[dull notch]

wait

[hexed grove]

yes it doesnt work when you respawn

because Character points to nil now

[pliant fossil]

icy

[hexed grove]

sup bro

[dull notch]

just replace the player path to game.Players.LocalPlayer

[pliant fossil]

local Shift = Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local player = script.Parent

local function sprint(InputType)    if Enum.InputType == Shift then
        player.Parent.locaCharacterWalkSpeed = (16)
    end
end

UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(sprint)``` so this is my script can you js say whats wrongwith it

[dull notch]

the player path is wrong

and the locaCharacterWalkSpeed

[hexed grove]

player.Parent.locaCharacterWalkSpeed isnt a real thing

[pliant fossil]

did not mean to type that

js realized

yeah still doenst work when i fix it

[dull notch]

try this again

local shift = Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local humanoid = character:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Humanoid")

local function sprint()
humanoid.WalkSpeed = 30
end

UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, isProcessed)
if input.KeyCode == shift then
sprint()
end
end)

UserInputService.InputEnded:Connect(function(input, isProcessed)
if input.KeyCode == shift then
humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16
end
end)

[hexed grove]

you need to change humanoid.WalkSpeed instead

[dull notch]

@pliant fossil

[hexed grove]

again, it breaks when you respawn

[dull notch]

why?

@pliant fossil remake your code or mine but in StarterCharacterScripts

[hexed grove]

Ok so:
when you first set Character to be player.character it points to the model in workspace,
when you respawn, that object is destroyed, and Character points to nill now

[dull notch]

yeah so it needs to remake and put in StarterCharacterScripts

but I think it will need RemoteEvent for player Inputs

[hexed grove]

what??

you can have local scripts in SCS just fine and access UIS from there

[dull notch]

so the player's Character is connected to the player?

[hexed grove]

yes, any local script can run in one of 5 locations (Backpack, character (SCS), PlayerGui, PlayerScripts and ReplicatedFirst), all of which will have the same local player and listen to the same inputs from UIS

[dull notch]

ya

[hexed grove]

i personally dont have any scripts in the character

[dull notch]

I think to make it work the script needs to be in ReplicatedStorage and Clone it everytime the character reapawns?

[pliant fossil]

local Shift = Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local sprint = script.Parent
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character
local humanoid = character:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Humanoid")

local function sprint(InputType)    
    if Enum.InputType == Shift then
        sprint.Parent.Humanoid.Walkspeed = (16)
    end
end

UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(sprint)```

[dull notch]

bruh

wait

[pliant fossil]

@hexed grove

thast what i did while you guys were yappin

[dull notch]

@pliant fossil add a script in ReplicatedStorage and clone it in character everytime the character respawns

[hexed grove]

local shift = Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

local function setWalkSpeed(speed: number)
        -- we first make sure both the character and humanoid exist and then we set the walk speed to the paramter given
    local Character = player.Character
    if not Character then
        return
    end
    local Humanoid = Character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
    if not Humanoid then
        return
    end
    
    Humanoid.WalkSpeed = speed
end

UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, isProcessed)
    if input.KeyCode == shift then
        setWalkSpeed(32)
    end
end)

UserInputService.InputEnded:Connect(function(input, isProcessed)
    if input.KeyCode == shift then
        setWalkSpeed(16)
    end
end)

[hexed grove]

there is no need to overcomplicate things

[pliant fossil]

thanks icy

[hexed grove]

np

i tried to not spoonfeed you but i gotta go to sleep

good luck and have fun!

it doesnt get easier but it gets more fun

[pliant fossil]

alrightt goodnight thanks bro

thank you too sky

[dull notch]

@pliant fossil I'll eat so wait me I'll make the code

[pliant fossil]

ok

[dull notch]

wait I'll remake the code

[pliant fossil]

what does the Humanoid.WalkSpeed = speed do? sorry if you still away

ke

[dull notch]

put this script in StarterCharacterScripts

local character = script.Parent
local humanoid = character:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Humanoid")
local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")

local function walk()
humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16
end

local function sprint()
humanoid.WalkSpeed = 30
end

UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, isProcessed)
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift then
sprint()
end
end)

UIS.InputEnded:Connect(function(input, isProcessed)
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift then
walk()
end
end)

put this script in StarterCharacterScripts

local character = script.Parent
local humanoid = character:FindFirstChildWhichIsA("Humanoid")
local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")

local function walk()
humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16
end

local function sprint()
humanoid.WalkSpeed = 30
end

UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, isProcessed)
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift then
sprint()
end
end)

UIS.InputEnded:Connect(function(input, isProcessed)
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift then
walk()
end
end)

[hexed grove]

Speed is a parameter you are sending to the function, so when you do setWalkSpeed(16) speed will be equal to 16 since it's the parameter you are sending

[pliant fossil]

what if i dont add that?

[hexed grove]

What do you mean?

?!

[dull notch]

@pliant fossil

[pliant fossil]

the Humanoid.WalkSpeed = speed

[hexed grove]

Then the function won't do anything?

[pliant fossil]

i see i see hold up

oh

alright

[hexed grove]

I am assuming you'll remove the entire line

Which is all the code that is inside the function

[dull notch]

if you don't add Humanoid.WalkSpeed = speed , the speed will be the same

[pliant fossil]

so do i set the speed as what i want it to or what it already is?

[dull notch]

you can set it if you want even 10000

[hexed grove]

This is a visual representation of what happens to the numbers you have in the ()

Speed becomes those numbers

[pliant fossil]

ohh

[hexed grove]

You can see the similarity as in when you are declaring the function it's setWalkSpeed(speed) and when you call it setWalkSpeed(16)

Oh and that :Number is just for type declaration you dont need to add it

You can just have setWalkSpeed(speed)
