I'm trying to learn how to script and I'm starting off with trying to increase the characters movement speed when it touches a brick but it's not working?
local brick = script.parent
script.Parent.Touched:connect(function(hit)
local character = hit.Parent
character.WalkSpeed = 50
end)
Thanks for any help!
The issue you are having is very simple. You have to change the walkspeed of the character by using the humanoid, instead of just the character. I would also suggest checking that the character exists so the script doesn't break.
local brick = script.Parent
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit) -- connect is deprecated
local character = hit.Parent
if character then
character:FindFirstChild('Humanoid').WalkSpeed = 50 -- find humanoid
end
end)
this doesn't check if hit is a player.
it works thanks!
again, this isn't the correct answer... trying touching it with something other than a part of a player
Mythical's answer isn't actually completely correct. While he is right to say that you need to apply the WalkSpeed change to the character's Humanoid and not the character itself, you also first need to make sure that hit really is a player.
local brick = script.Parent
script.Parent.Touched:Connect(function(hit) -- connect is deprecated
local character = hit.Parent
if character and character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
character:FindFirstChild('Humanoid').WalkSpeed = 50 -- find humanoid
end
end)
You don't need the "if character and", just "if character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then"
thanks both work
That line didn't need to be extended...but yes

You have to make sure hit is actually a character by inserting: if character:("Humanoid") then between lines 4 and 5
