How do I fix my Shift to Sprint so it works with Shift Lock too?
It doesnt work if Shift Lock is enabled, its a Local Script in StarterGUI folder. Thank you in advance! This is the script:
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()
local sprintSpeed = 40
mouse.KeyDown:Connect(function(key)
if key == "0" then
--Sprint
player.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = sprintSpeed
end
end)
mouse.KeyUp:Connect(function(key)
if key == "0" then
--Stop Sprint
player.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16
end
end)

Hello,
Your method of getting the player's keyboard input is deprecated, it's good practice to use UserInputService instead.
UserInputService has a better system for processing keyboard inputs than mouse.KeyDown does. While mouse.KeyDown's inputs are processed by a single string, UserInputService allows us to see the exact key being pressed. This means that special characters like "Shift" and "Tab" will not be defaulted to "0", and coincidentally, will allow your code to work while shift lock is enabled.
Here's an implementation of UserInputService for your code:
local uis = game:GetService("UserInputService") --get userinputservice
local sprintspeed = 40
local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer --better way of setting localplayer
local character = workspace:WaitForChild(player.Name) --wait for player's character to be created (there is buffer between player joining and character being created)
local humanoid = character.Humanoid -- assign humanoid
uis.InputBegan:Connect(function(key)
if key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift then
humanoid.WalkSpeed = sprintspeed
end
end)
uis.InputEnded:Connect(function(key)
if key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift then
humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16
end
end)
This code will work with shift lock.
Another thing to add is the ability to disable shift lock as a developer. If you desire, you can go to StarterPlayer under your explorer window, navigate to your properties window, and disable "EnableMouseLockOption". This will automatically disable shift lock for ALL players of your game.
I hope this answer helped you!
Cheers,
Chase
