How can you target the player's walkspeed when the tool is uneqquiped?

Asked Oct 15, 2018382 views2 answers

health = 5
active = false
walkSpd = 32
script.Parent.Equipped:connect(function()
	active = true
	script.Parent.Parent.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = walkSpd

end)

script.Parent.Unequipped:connect(function()
	active = false
	script.Parent.Parent.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16 --problem area

end)

while wait(1) do --ignore
	if active then
	script.Parent.Parent.Humanoid.Health = script.Parent.Parent.Humanoid.Health + health
	end

end

It gives me "Humanoid is not a valid member of Backpack" at line 12. I can't figure out how to manipulate the humanoid of the player when the tool is uneqquiped.

When its unequipped it goes back in the backpack, I would recommend going workspace:FindFirstChild(script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Name).Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16

Your getting the player's humanoid by going through the hierarchy, but it runs when the Unequipped event fires. So when the Unequipped event fires, the tool gets removed from the character which then you cant access the humanoid. You'd need to use LocalPlayer to get the player's humanoid if this is a local script, as LocalPlayer is the player that the script is running on.

local health = 5
local active = false
local walkSpd = 32
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer

script.Parent.Equipped:Connect(function()
  	active = true
   	player.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = walkSpd -- accessing the player's character
end)

script.Parent.Unequipped:Connect(function()
   	active = false
   	player.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16 
end)

while active do -- you dont need to make a if statment
   	script.Parent.Parent.Humanoid.Health = script.Parent.Parent.Humanoid.Health + health
	wait(1)
end

when you equip a tool, it will be added inside player's Character
but when you unequip the tool the parent of it will change to the player's backpack
so the Unequipped Event fires when the tool is already inside your backpack

Certainly this solution isn't the best, but it works

Character = script.Parent.Parent
Player = game:GetService("Players"):WaitForChild(Character.Name)
-- Added Variables Above

health = 5
active = false
walkSpd = 32
script.Parent.Equipped:connect(function()
	active = true
	Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = walkSpd
end)

script.Parent.Unequipped:connect(function()
	active = false
	Character .Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 16 --fixed Area :3
end)

while wait(1) do --ignore
	if active then
		script.Parent.Parent.Humanoid.Health = script.Parent.Parent.Humanoid.Health + health
	end
end
