Sprint button works weirdly

[ebon crane]

Title says it all. I had coded in a sprint button which doesn't work as intended, and am now left a little confused as to why. When the player first presses shift they'll still be in sprinting mode even when they stop, and this only changes to the intended behavior (of holding it down at the same time) when the shift key is pressed a second time. Naturally, this is very annoying and I can see this error becoming a nuisance very quickly. . .

Sorry in advance for the .txt, discord won't let me post the full script otherwise ToT

youre making a new connection every time the movedirection changes

typically not good

anyway

I see the reason

why

yeah ngl

u should prob rework

that

[ebon crane]

Do you have any advice on how to go about doing that?

[plain veldt]

you should probably start bu moving the input connections away from the getpropertychangedsignal

and honestly that alone would probably fix your problem

[ebon crane]

Ill try that out later this evening (I have chores to do lol)

But the original reason I put them into getpropertychangedsignal was so that my skating animation would actually stop and play respectively whenever the player character moves

Would it be easy to achieve the same effect without stuffing the inputs in there like I have now?

It probably is and im just not able to see it now xD

[plain veldt]

yeah but the issue here is that youre rebinding every time

[ebon crane]

Ohhh okay, I see

I fixed the sprint button, but the issue I was having with the skating animation is back

By chance would you know how to get the animation to stop while the player is idle?

local function startSkating()
    skating = true
    humanoid.WalkSpeed = skateSpeed
    humanoid.JumpPower = 0
    skatingAnimTrack:Play()
end

local function stopSkating()
    skating = false
    skatingAnimTrack:Stop()
    humanoid.JumpPower = 30
    humanoid.WalkSpeed = normalWalkSpeed
end

--Skating keybinds
humanoid:GetPropertyChangedSignal("MoveDirection"):Connect(function()
    if humanoid.MoveDirection.Magnitude > 0 and skatingAnimTrack.IsPlaying == false and skating == false then
        UserService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gameProcessedEvent)
            if Skate(input) then
                startSkating()
            end
        end)
    elseif humanoid.MoveDirection.Magnitude == 0 and skatingAnimTrack.IsPlaying == true and skating == true then
        stopSkating()
    end
end) --PC/Console```

Heres the current code related to it
