Can you make a movement detector?

How do you make a detector for movement? I've been trying various methods, anyone have some pointers? Just a basic movement detector.

humanoid.Running:Connect(function(speed)
	if speed >0 then
		print('running')
	end
end)

this will fire whenever the speed changes, so if the walkspeed is altered it will cause the print to run

you could also use magnitude

Doesn't work, how does it even detect the humanoid? I'm using a hit detect but it's not working.

Assuming you mean movement for players, you can use the StateChanged event of Humanoids.This works in either a local or a server script, but I'll show an example on the server-side:

game:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:Connect(function(plr)
   local char = plr.Character or plr.CharacterAdded:Wait()
   local humanoid = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
   humanoid.StateChanged:Connect(function(old,new)
      if new == Enum.HumanoidStateType.Running then
         print("Movement begun")
      end
   end
end)
