A local sprinting script in my game is not working. I don't know what is wrong with it?
So I am making a local sprinting script to make a player go faster when they press "c". When I playtested, I the script wouldn't work. It wouldn't even print. Please help.
Code:
local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()
local walkspeed = player.CharacterAdded:Wait():WaitForChild("Humanoid").WalkSpeed
local replicatedstorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local sprinting = false
mouse.KeyDown:Connect(function(key)
if key == "c" then
sprinting = true
print("sprinting")
walkspeed = walkspeed * 2
end
end)
mouse.KeyUp:Connect(function(key)
if key == "c" then
sprinting = false
print("stopped sprinting")
walkspeed = walkspeed / 2
end
end)

Use UserInputService instead:
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local player = Players.LocalPlayer
local deb = false -- debounce
local function onKeyPress(inputObject, gameProcessedEvent)
if not deb then
if inputObject.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.C and not gameProcessedEvent then -- if the c key is pressed then
deb = true -- to stop it from running more than once
if player.Character and player.Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then -- if the player's character and humanoid ~= nil then
player.Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid").WalkSpeed = player.Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid").WalkSpeed * 2 -- give the extra walkspeed
end
repeat wait() until not UserInputService:IsKeyDown(Enum.KeyCode.C) -- wait until the C key isn't being held down anymore
if player.Character and player.Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
player.Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid").WalkSpeed = player.Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid").WalkSpeed / 2
end
deb = false -- setting the deb back so the function can run again
end
end
end
UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(onKeyPress) -- connecting the function to InputBegan
If this answer solved your issue, please accept it! Thanks.

You need to use UserInputService for that.
local UIS = game:GetService'UserInputService'
UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(input)
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.C then
print'C pressed!'
end
end)
UIS.InputEnded:Connect(function(input)
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.C then
print'C released!'
end
end)
