How to detect if a humanoid is climbing for 3 seconds continuously?
Pretty much i want to detect if a humanoid is climbing (stationary climb or moving climb) for 3 seconds continuously, and if so push him off where he is climbing.
I tried this code but it doesn't work because it executes the function upon the humanoid climbing and does not take into consideration if the player has been climbing for 3 seconds continuously - I want to take this into consideration.
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:wait()
local rootpart = character.HumanoidRootPart
character.Humanoid.Climbing:Connect(function()
wait(3)
rootpart.Velocity = rootpart.CFrame.lookVector*-50
end)
my friend wrote this code for me and i also do not understand why he added the " or player.CharacterAdded:wait() ".
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:wait()
thank you!

In your code snippet you aren't checking if the player is still climbing after the 3 seconds have passed. You can get the humanoid's current state with the GetState method. Just checking if the state is still "Climbing" may not be enough for you as the player might've started climbing again during that 3 seconds. To avoid this, you can listen to state changes and cancel the procedure if the state changed before the 3 seconds passed.
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local function flingCharacter(character, force)
force = force or -50
character.PrimaryPart.Velocity = character.PrimaryPart.CFrame.lookVector * force
end
humanoid.Climbing:Connect(function()
-- Listen for changes in the humanoid's state
local stateChangedConnection
stateChangedConnection = humanoid.StateChanged:Connect(function(_, newState)
-- If the player jumped, then drop them from the ladder
if newState == Enum.HumanoidStateType.Jumping then
flingCharacter(character)
end
stateChangedConnection:Disconnect()
end)
wait(3)
-- If the state hasn't changed, we can assume they were climbing the whole time
if stateChangedConnection.connected then
stateChangedConnection:Disconnect()
flingCharacter(character)
end
end)
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
This line of code is there in case the character existed before the script was executed. It assigns the current character of the player to the "character" variable and if it's not found, it waits until the character is added using the Wait method of RBXScriptSignal. The CharacterAdded event's only parameter is the new character, which is then assigned to the "character" variable as the Wait method returns it.
