When player dies their speed boost ends?

Asked 156 views1 answers

I have a dev product that temporarily gives you a speed boost. My problem is that when you die your speed goes back to normal. How can I fix this? Heres the if statement for the devproduct: 

   if receiptInfo.ProductId == 1289737124 then
            print("player bought 30sec speed boost")
            player.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 40
            for i = 30, 1, -1 do -- sets 30 second timer
                gui.Text = tostring(i)
                wait(1)
            end
            player.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16
        end

Where is script located? Can you try putting it inside starterplayerscripts? it might work because it does not reset upon respawn

This is in ServerScriptStorage. Is it possible to put it in StarterPlayerScripts when its handling dev products?

A simple way to fix this would be to update the player's walkspeed every time the loop ticks as so:

if receiptInfo.ProductId == 1289737124 then
         print("player bought 30sec speed boost")
         player.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 40
         for i = 30, 1, -1 do -- sets 30 second timer
             gui.Text = tostring(I)
		player.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 40 --Update the speed every second
             wait(1)
         end
         player.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16
     end

So if the player dies, their speed will still be boosted within a second
