How to reference a player's jump?
I need to change an IntValue whenever a player jumps. The code below subtracts the value by two anytime I jump, instead of one. I want the value to only subtract by one. How can I do this properly?
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
plr.Character.Humanoid.Jumping:Connect(function()
thirstValue.Value = thirstValue.Value - 1
end)

The problem here is that the Jumping event fires when the character starts jumping and when the character has landed. In order to fix this, check whether or not the active parameter passed through the event is true.
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
plr.Character.Humanoid.Jumping:Connect(function(active)
if active then
thirstValue.Value = thirstValue.Value - 1
end
end)
Alternatively, you can use the StateChanged event. Not only does it fix your problem, it's also way more flexible.
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
plr.Character.Humanoid.StateChanged:Connect(function(oldState , newState)
if newState == Enum.HumanoidStateType.Jumping then
thirstValue.Value = thirstValue.Value - 1
end
end)
The function first checks whether or not the newState parameter is the Jumping state. Then, it decrements thirstValue by one.

This Is How I Would Do It
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(key)
if key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Space then
-- Your Code Here
end
end)
