[SOLVED] Walk, Run and Sprint with single key

Questions & Answers
1

I’m trying to create a character controller where I can walk forward using W, and then by pressing another key (say Q,) I can switch to running, and press it again to start walking again. I’d also like to be able to double-tap for sprinting, then press to return to walk/run again. I have forward motion and walk and run by holding Q down, but how do I change it to register double-tapping and changing states with only a single press? here’s my code:

 private void Update ()
    {
        //walk
        if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.W))
        {
            humanPlayerRB.velocity = transform.forward * walkSpeed;
        }

        //run
        if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.W) && (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.Q))) //I've tried using GetKeyDown here, to no effect
        {
            humanPlayerRB.velocity = transform.forward * runSpeed;
        }
}

You’re question is confusing and doesn’t provide enough details but if I understand what you’re trying to do here are some code snippets

void Update()
{
	bool sprinting = false;

	if(Input.GetKey("WalkKey"))
	{
		if(sprinting)
		{
			//sprint
		}
		else
		{
			//walk
		}
	}

	if(Input.GetKeyDown("RunKey"))
	{
		sprinting = !sprinting; //This acts as a toggle statement setting the bool to not what is currently is 
	}
}

Oh that makes sense! Thank you, it’s working now :slight_smile: Here’s my code for any passers-by

[SerializeField] public int walkSpeed;
[SerializeField] public int sprintSpeed; 

Rigidbody humanPlayerRB;

private bool sprinting = false;

    private void Start()
    {
        humanPlayerRB = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
    }

// Update is called once per frame
    private void Update ()
    {

        //walk
        if (Input.GetKey(KeyCode.W))
        {
            if(sprinting)
            {
                humanPlayerRB.velocity = transform.forward * sprintSpeed;
                Debug.Log("Sprinting");
            }
            else
            {
                humanPlayerRB.velocity = transform.forward * walkSpeed;
                Debug.Log("Walking");
            }
        }

        //toggles sprinting
        if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Q))
        {
            //This acts as a toggle statement setting the bool to not what is currently is 
            sprinting = !sprinting;
        }
}
