How to Sprint in Roblox

To sprint in Roblox, you use the Shift key. Here’s how to add this feature to your game:

First, create a Local Script in the StarterPlayerScripts folder. This script will control the sprinting feature. Next, get the User Input Service with `local userInput = game:GetService(“UserInputService”)`. This service will help detect when the player presses the Shift key.

Then, get the Player Service using `local players = game:GetService(“Players”)`. This service will help you access the player’s data. After that, define the sprint and walk speeds. You can set the sprint speed to 30 and the walk speed to 16 with `local sprintSpeed = 30` and `local walkSpeed = 16`.

Now, check for Shift key input. Use `userInput.InputBegan` and `userInput.InputEnded` events to know when the player presses or releases the Shift key. Finally, update the player’s speed based on these inputs. When the Shift key is pressed, set the speed to sprint speed. When released, set it back to walk speed.

Here’s a sample script to help you get started:

local userInput = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local players = game:GetService("Players")
local sprintSpeed = 30
local walkSpeed = 16
local player = players.LocalPlayer

userInput.InputBegan:Connect(function(input)
    if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift then
        player.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = sprintSpeed
    end
end)

userInput.InputEnded:Connect(function(input)
    if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift then
        player.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = walkSpeed
    end
end)

This script lets players sprint by holding the Shift key and return to walking speed when they release it. Happy gaming!
