How do i check if a player jumps?
I have a game where i want players to have a higher jump power everytime they jump but my script isn't working right. Can somebody help me? This is my script:
01 | local JumpPower = 50 |
02 | local Player = script.Parent |
03 |
04 | while wait() do |
05 | if Player.Humanoid.jumping == true then |
06 | repeat |
07 | JumpPower = JumpPower + 0.01 |
08 | Player.Humanoid.JumpPower = JumpPower |
09 | print(JumpPower) |
10 | until Player.Humanoid.jumping == false |
11 | end |
12 | end |
But when i jump for some reason if Player.humanoid.jumping == true then is always false.
This is the full script.

you would have to make them sit then check everytime they go back to standing retracee 68 — 6y

Hey check this link out. It is always more advisable to use an event than a loop. The way you can implement this is thus:
1 | player.Character.Humanoid.StateChanged:Connect(function(oldState, newState) |
2 |
3 | -- if newState is jumping then go forward otherwise do nothing |
4 |
5 | end) |
Hope this helps and have a great day scripting!

the reason I included both parameters was so that if you wanted to use them both you could. User#21908 42 — 6y

This can work, however I don't think OP wants to go through the hassle of checking their HumanoidStateType every time it changes. This can be if they are swimming, or sitting. User#19524 175 — 6y

Make a KeyDown Event with the Space Key, and in the event do what you want it to do if it's pressed.

There is a property and an event that can do this. I will use the event, as using loops to check for something is a bad practice.
01 | local JumpPower = 50 |
02 | local Character = script.Parent |
03 |
04 | Character.Humanoid.Jumping:Connect(function(active) -- parameter is if they're still jumping |
05 | repeat |
06 | JumpPower = JumpPower + 0.01 |
07 | Character.Humanoid.JumpPower = JumpPower |
08 | print(JumpPower) |
09 | until not active -- repeat until stop jumping |
10 | end) |

Your answer is obviously better. I see now what you mean. I did not know there was a specific event for jumping. Thanks for making me aware. User#21908 42 — 6y

thanks, i was using a similar method but yours can repeat until im not jumping anymore which would be useful in my game 20002000sa 83 — 6y
