Sprinting script not working even though I followed an answer on an older post?
So, I recently got the motivation and started working on a new game I'm making. I want it to have a sprinting feature, but I can't seem to figure out what is the problem here.
I also followed a tutorial, YouTube link here: https://youtu.be/4z1HVwe0sLE
So I looked in another post in scriptinghelpers, and I found this; https://scriptinghelpers.org/questions/81021/hey-how-do-i-get-character-from-player-in-a-local-script
I followed the answer that someone posted and put it in my variables, but it still wouldn't work.
Here is the code snippet:
UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local LShiftPressed = false
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character
local Humanoid = Player.Humanoid
UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gameProcessedEvent)
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift then
LShiftPressed = true
while LShiftPressed == true do
wait()
Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 32
game.Workspace.Sound.Sprint:Play()
end
end
end)
UserInputService.InputEnded:Connect(function(input, gameProcessedEvent)
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift then
LShiftPressed = false
while LShiftPressed == false do
wait()
Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16
end
end
end)
Thank you if you have any feedback. Sorry if this code appears messy.

You're indexing character, so there's that. It could potentially be the Humanoid's name, or that the Sound Instance in workspace is not available or not created.
I would recommend using methods such as Instance.WaitForChild, Instance.FindFirstChildWhichIsA to work around for a fix.

try
UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local LShiftPressed = false
UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gameProcessedEvent)
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift then
LShiftPressed = true
print(LShiftPressed)
while LShiftPressed == true do
wait()
game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid").WalkSpeed = 32
game.Workspace.Sound.Sprint:Play()
end
end
end)
UserInputService.InputEnded:Connect(function(input, gameProcessedEvent)
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift then
LShiftPressed = false
print(LShiftPressed)
while LShiftPressed == false do
wait()
game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid").WalkSpeed = 16
end
end
end)
if it doesn't work, dm me on discord
