    plr.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed=(40)

Sorry if this doesn't help.

wait(0)
game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr)
plr.CanLoadCharacterAppearance=false
repeat wait(0)until plr.Character --I usually use that because it will repeat wait(0) until the player's Character has loaded or exists finally, until then the script probly wont go on
if plr.Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")then --If script finds Humanoid within Character
plr.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed=(0)
wait(25)
plr.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed=(40)
end)

I added a wait(0) at the top as you can see, waits 0 seconds before loads, I do that for some of my scripts because there is a coding glitch out there where it wont work without a wait(0)at the top, I also used the 'repeat' to repeat waiting until the player's Character exists, and last but not least the 'if' statement is there to check if Humanoid exists.

By the way. Instead of repeat wait()until plr.Character use prl.CharacterAdded:wait() Destrings 406 — 10y
