How can I make it so a player gets 1 point every second when walking?
Hello, I have been trying to figure out how to make it give 1 point every second that a player is walking. When I click "play" and walk, it gives too many points. I tried putting "wait(1)" in various locations, but it ends up just delaying the amount of points being given.
01 | amount = 1 |
02 | points = "Steps" |
03 |
04 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(p) |
05 | p.CharacterAdded:connect(function(c) |
06 | c:WaitForChild("Humanoid").Running:connect(function(speed) |
07 | if speed > 0 |
08 | then p.leaderstats[points].Value = p.leaderstats[points].Value + amount |
09 | end |
10 | end) |
11 | end) |
12 | end) |
I also have another script that goes with this one to set up the scoreboard here:
1 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr) |
2 | local stats = Instance.new("BoolValue",plr) |
3 | stats.Name = "leaderstats" |
4 |
5 | local steps = Instance.new("IntValue",stats) |
6 | steps.Name = "Steps" |
7 | steps.Value = 0 |
8 | end) |

You can use the
Humanoid.MoveDirectionproperty to determine if the Humanoid is in motion or not.
Humanoid.MoveDirection is a Vector3 that contains data regarding the direction that the humanoid is moving in. Likewise if the Humanoid is not moving at all, it will be 0, 0, 0, therefore you simply need to check if the Humanoid's MoveDirection is not equal to Vector3.new(0, 0, 0) to determine whether or not you should add a point for the elapsed second.
-Here is a basic setup:
01 | lcoal amount = 1; |
02 | local points = "Steps"; |
03 | local wte = wait; |
04 | local vec3 = Vector3; |
05 |
06 | local function CheckForWalk(plr, hum) |
07 | pcall(function() |
08 | while wte() do |
09 | if hum.MoveDirection ~= vec3.new(0, 0, 0) then --if the character is moving |
10 | while wte(1) do --while the player is moving, increase their step points each second. |
11 | if hum.MoveDirection ~= vec3.new(0, 0, 0) then |
12 | plr.leaderstats[points].Value = plr.leaderstats[points].Value + amount; |
13 | else |
14 | break; |
15 | end |
I hope this helps.

I tried it out myself. I noticed the the Running event for Humanoid will fire multiple times even if you just move once, that's the cause of it giving multiple points at once. To fix that, I made a debounce for the script. I also noticed that with your method, speed is a constant and will forever add points once you get into motion once, so I used c.Torso.Velocity.magnitude instead.
Here's the final script I got working for myself:
01 | game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr) |
02 | plr.CharacterAdded:connect(function(char) |
03 | local running = false |
04 | char:WaitForChild("Humanoid").Running:connect(function() |
05 | if running == false then |
06 | running = true |
07 | while char.Torso.Velocity.magnitude > 0 do |
08 | wait(1) |
09 | plr:WaitForChild("leaderstats").points.Value = plr.leaderstats.points.Value + 1 |
10 | print(char.Torso.Velocity.magnitude) |
11 | end |
12 | running = false |
13 | end |
14 | end) |
15 | end) |
16 | end) |
You can make a loop where it checks if MoveDirection (A property in Humanoids) is not Vector3.new(0,0,0) (Standing Still) and give the player points based on that
01 | local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer |
02 | local char = workspace:WaitForChild(plr.Name) |
03 | local Humanoid = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid") |
04 | while true do |
05 | if Humanoid.MoveDirection ~= Vector3.new(0,0,0) then |
06 | print("Walking") |
07 | plr:WaitForChild("leaderstats").points.Value = plr.leaderstats.points.Value + 1 |
08 | else |
09 | print("Standing") |
10 | end |
11 | wait(1) |
12 | end |
