Need help with action

[smoky moon]

You need to use UserInputService or ContextActionService I think works too

That's for the input handling

You'd also need to get the Character with variables

then you'd also have to check when the shift is let go with UserInputService

could i have a example, im new and dont really understand

mb i went afk but here u go lol

--// Services
local userInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService") -- getting the input service to use within the localscript
local players = game:GetService("Players")

--// Variables
local player: Player = players.LocalPlayer -- getting the local player (the client) from the players service
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait() -- Getting the character from the player and if the character hasn't loaded then it's gonna wait for it to load
local humanoid = character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") -- getting the humanoid from the character

local sprinting = false -- keeping track of if the player is sprinting already

local inputHandling = function(input: InputObject, gameProcessing: boolean)
    if gameProcessing or input.KeyCode ~= Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift then return end -- If the player is in the typing window or if the input isnt the left shift or player is already sprinting
    
    sprinting = not sprinting
    humanoid.WalkSpeed = sprinting and 24 or 16 -- increase the speed by 8 if sprinting is true
end

--// Connections
userInputService.InputBegan:Connect(inputHandling)
userInputService.InputEnded:Connect(inputHandling)

Idk why I just wrote the entire script but I did try to explain everything hope you can understand and can turn this into your own script :)
