Guys im starting out and im making a game and the first thing i want to start out on is the movement

[tropic estuary]

Help me please i want to retain scripting information but i forget and have to relearn again

a friend said if i want to make something i have to explain it in better words

im starting out on the run

[sharp cove]

ok. what do you have now?

[tropic estuary]

i have the animation

@sharp cove

[sharp cove]

what are you trying to do with the animation?

[sharp cove]

do you need help playing the animation with scripts?

[tropic estuary]

get the player to hold shift

when they do in any direction the walkspeed increases

and a different animation play

[sharp cove]

Here's some pseudocode:
on input:
if shift key down
run
function run:
walkspeed = -- some number that denotes speed

do you need the actual code?

[tropic estuary]

i want to learn

yes

[sharp cove]

local userInputService = game:GetService('UserInputService')
local playersService = game:GetService('Players')

local thisPlayer = playersService.LocalPlayer

local character = thisPlayer.Character or thisPlayer.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local Humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

local running = false
local function walk()
    Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16
    running = false
end
local function run()
    Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 40 --Set this to your run speed
    running = true
end

--detects when the input began
userInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, GPE) 
        if GPE then return end
    if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift then
        run()
    end
end)

--detects when the input ended
userInputService.InputEnded:Connect(function(input, GPE)
        if GPE then return end
    if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift then
        if running == true then
            walk()
        end
    end    
end)

I made this code a long time ago. Let me know if you need any explanations. Put this in StarterGui or StarterPlayerScripts

[sharp cove]

@tropic estuary Does this solve your problem? Let me know if you need anything else.

[tropic estuary]

yeah

[tropic estuary]

hey

where do i put this

[sharp cove]

You can put it in the StarterPlayerScript folder or in the StarterGui folder

[tropic estuary]

ty

[tropic estuary]

how did you learn scripting

i want to learn it

but every time i get somewhere i lose that point of progress

[sharp cove]

After doing a bit of coding it popped back to me. I’ve been working on a game for a while now and that gives me practice. Set a goal and work towards it. Dont be afraid to ask help from people or ai, and remember to do research.

[tropic estuary]

im on taht

@winged abyss

[tropic estuary]

how long do you practice

[sharp cove]

There’s really no length. There’s also not set goal, and the amount of time everyone takes is different. It all depends on the background.

[tropic estuary]

ok

im making a movement system

i copied your code

is that good for my development

[winged abyss]

[sharp cove]

Do you understand it?

For anyone’s code, make sure not to blindly copy and paste but to actually understand it

[tropic estuary]

no not really

well

i do

i can explain it to you

[tropic estuary]

sorry if i don't respond im learning new things in animation

[tropic estuary]

@sharp cove

help

i under stand all the vocab and what it does but how do i add animation

im using chat gpt

@sharp cove

[tropic estuary]

@sharp cove

[winged abyss]

spamming pings aint going to help you out of that deep fryer, you're already cooked 💀

[sharp cove]

thx for backing me up mate holy smokes I wanted to spend some time with family T_T

[tropic estuary]

oh....

nvm then

i'll figure it out

[sharp cove]

Check out this documentation: https://create.roblox.com/docs/reference/engine/classes/Animation

And here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y7_9d-BcgWY

[tropic estuary]

the animation is already made

[sharp cove]

The video talks about how to link it and set it up too

[tropic estuary]

how do i make it stop

it won't stop with your code

[sharp cove]

Use the Stop() function

https://create.roblox.com/docs/reference/engine/classes/AnimationTrack#Stop

Put that in the walk function

[tropic estuary]

i did

but it won't do the animation or speed up at all

[tropic estuary]

stop isn't working when i use it freeze the animation and won't let it play and the walkspeed won['t speed up

[sharp cove]

If speed up isn’t working check to see the animation is linked properly

[tropic estuary]

ok
