how do I script a sprint system with animations

[dawn oasis]

from scratch really cuz I don’t wanna steal from toolbox + I wanna learn

[vague flicker]

do u know anything about variables etc?

and functions

and Enum.Keycode and stuff

main things to help u make this happen

[dawn oasis]

yes I do

the only thing is to detect when the player is moving and ensure the animation plays without breaking everything according to the state of the user

also whenever i use getstate from the humanoid it keeps printing running instead of being idle

any way that I can fix this?

Look at context inputs

So that when you hold shift it sets the player speed to something and :plays the animation track and then on release it resets the player speed and stops the animation track

You don’t even need context inputs you can just do

'''

UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gameProcessed)
if gameProcessed then return end

if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.shift then
    holding = true
end

end)

-- Detect when the key is released
UserInputService.InputEnded:Connect(function(input, gameProcessed)
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.shift then
holding = false
end
end)
'''

Sorry on phone so the code might look iffy

This is not how you should help. You literally sent a script by probably expecting OP to copy & paste / rewrite it dependently which is a big no no. In addition, OP themselves want to write it by themselves, not to get spoon-fed.

TL;DR: We appreciate the effort you’ve put into trying to help OP, but it’s not helping them.

@harsh cave

I recommend you this tutorial, OP
