How would I detect if the player jumped?

Asked 679 views1 answers

I'm not sure if Jump is boolean value because this doesn't seem to work.

local humanoid = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

if humanoid.Jump.Value == true then
	print("the player has jumped")
end

You are very close, try this:

Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
Character = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()

Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild('Humanoid')

local isJumping = false

Humanoid.StateChanged:Connect(function(oldState, newState)
	if newState == Enum.HumanoidStateType.Jumping then
		if not isJumping then
			isJumping = true
		end
	elseif newState == Enum.HumanoidStateType.Landed then
		if isJumping then
			isJumping = false
		end
	end
end)

This uses StateChanged to detect when a player has started to jump, and when the player has landed.
