Detecting Movement in Water

[rough imp]

Hey.
So I want to check if my player is moving underwater, while avoiding the gravity, which makes the player float up. I've tried humanoid.MoveDirection.Magnitude > 0.1 without success. Could anyone share ideas, of how to solve it?

[rough imp]

There is no code to share, regarding this post. I've also mentioned what I tried in the message.

show code for try?

[rough imp]

If you insist to not read, here you go.

[gaunt lily]

is this in an event?

[rough imp]

It will always be true. Altough I'm not moving my player. I assume due to water physics, my player floats up and that does something to the MoveDirection.

[gaunt lily]

terrain water or part water?

[rough imp]

Yes, if a tool is equipped, this function, holding the if-statement, will fire.

[rough imp]

Terrain Water.

[gaunt lily]

which event? activated? equipped?

[rough imp]

.Equipped

Perhaps I need to loop, while it remains equipped?

[gaunt lily]

is it correct to say you are trying to get wasd movement while the player's character is in terrain water - other words does humanoid.movedirection be relevant when working while swimming?

[gaunt lily]

first part is getpropertychangedsignal("movedirection")

second part is testing that under terrain-swimming condition

i'm not sure of that behavior

i assume it receives regular inputs like normal, XZ only

[rough imp]

Well, in entirety:
I'm trying to stop the sound of an seaglider, while the player does not move. Meaning; using the Joystick or the Keyboard. But again, due the water physics, roblox thinks I move the player.

[gaunt lily]

seaglider? what is this subnautica clone?

[gaunt lily]

ye you check the movedirection once, it changes constantly as user input changes. use the event i mentioned earlier

[rough imp]

Could you help me regarding the issue, and not judge somoenes work based the name? Additionally, it's just a temporary name.

sarcasm doesnt translerate over well the interwebs

[rough imp]

Relateable.

there's another event for humanoid state change which you appear to also only check once
