How to detect when a player is moving?
So I was playing one of those speed city games and I though I could probably make one of those so I tried to make a moving detection script cause thats pretty much the entire game lol but I cant get mine to work, I know there are plenty of easier ways to make one compared to mine but I dont understand them that well (Basically I would need a really in depth explanation) , but here's mine I also placed the script in the StarterCharacterScripts
01 | local moving = false -- Moving Variable |
02 |
03 | function movingdetection() -- Function for detecting when player is moving |
04 | if script.Parent.Humanoid.MoveDirection == Vector3.new(0,0,0) then -- Checking if they are moving in any direction |
05 | local moving = false |
06 | else |
07 | local moving = true |
08 | end |
09 |
10 | end |
11 |
12 | while true do -- Loop for constantly calling the moving detection function |
13 | print("ok then") |
14 | movingdetection() -- Calling the function |
15 | if moving == true then -- Seeing if the player moving comes back true |
16 | print("moving") -- To show that its working |
17 | end |
18 | wait(0.5) |
19 | end |

There are two ways (or more idk):
This includes MoveDirection:
1 | Character.Humanoid.Changed:Connect(function() |
2 | if Character.Humanoid.MoveDirection.Magnitude ~= 0 then |
3 | -- moving |
4 | else |
5 | -- not moving |
6 | end |
7 | end) |
There's also an event:
1 | Character.Humanoid.Running:Connect(function(walkspeed) |
2 | --Running |
3 | end) |
Whatever fits your script the most.
