Humanoid

AutoJumpEnabled sets whether or not the Humanoid will attempt to automatically jump over an obstacle it is walking towards.

Currently, this property only works when the following conditions are true:

• The Humanoid's character model is the Player.Character of a Player.
• The Player in question is using touch controls.

When a player's character spawns, the property's value matches the player's Player.AutoJumpEnabled property - which in turn matches the StarterPlayer.AutoJumpEnabled property.

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local player = Players.LocalPlayer
local button = script.Parent

local function update()
	-- Update button text
	if player.AutoJumpEnabled then
		button.Text = "Auto-Jump is ON"
	else
		button.Text = "Auto-Jump is OFF"
	end
	-- Reflect the property in the player's character, if they have one
	if player.Character then
		local human = player.Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
		if human then
			human.AutoJumpEnabled = player.AutoJumpEnabled
		end
	end
end

local function onActivated()
	-- Toggle auto-jump
	player.AutoJumpEnabled = not player.AutoJumpEnabled
	-- Update everything else
	update()
end

button.Activated:Connect(onActivated)
update()

The AutoRotate property describes whether or not the Humanoid will automatically rotate to face in the direction they are moving. When set to true, the character model will gradually turn to face their movement direction as the Humanoid walks around. When set to false, the character model will remain fixated in its current rotation, unless a rotating force is applied to the HumanoidRootPart.

If the character model happens to be the character of a player, then the behavior of the Humanoid's rotation is influenced by the UserGameSetting's RotateType property.

When the AutoRotate property is set to true, the RotateType property has the following effects on the Humanoid's rotation:

local button = script.Parent
local enabled = true

local ON_COLOR = BrickColor.Green()
local OFF_COLOR = BrickColor.Red()

local function touchButton(humanoid)
	if enabled then
		enabled = false
		button.BrickColor = OFF_COLOR

		if humanoid.AutoRotate then
			print(humanoid:GetFullName() .. " can no longer auto-rotate!")
			humanoid.AutoRotate = false
		else
			print(humanoid:GetFullName() .. " can now auto-rotate!")
			humanoid.AutoRotate = true
		end

		task.wait(1)
		button.BrickColor = ON_COLOR
		enabled = true
	end
end

local function onTouched(hit)
	local char = hit:FindFirstAncestorWhichIsA("Model")
	if char then
		local humanoid = char:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
		if humanoid then
			touchButton(humanoid)
		end
	end
end

button.Touched:Connect(onTouched)
button.BrickColor = ON_COLOR

The Humanoid has six child scale values including BodyDepthScale, BodyHeightScale, BodyProportionScale, BodyTypeScale, BodyWidthScale, HeadScale. Changing the value of any of these causes the character's body parts and accessories to change size, but only if AutomaticScalingEnabled is true.

Determines whether the humanoid's joints break when in the Enum.HumanoidStateType.Dead state. Defaults to true.

The CameraOffset property specifies an offset to the camera's subject position when its Camera.CameraSubject is set to this Humanoid.

The offset is applied in object-space, relative to the orientation of the Humanoid's HumanoidRootPart. For example, an offset Vector3 value of (0, 10, 0) offsets the player's camera to 10 studs above the player's humanoid.

local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")

local playerModel = script.Parent
local humanoid = playerModel:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

local function updateBobbleEffect()
	local now = tick()
	if humanoid.MoveDirection.Magnitude > 0 then -- Is the character walking?
		local velocity = humanoid.RootPart.Velocity
		local bobble_X = math.cos(now * 9) / 5
		local bobble_Y = math.abs(math.sin(now * 12)) / 5

		local bobble = Vector3.new(bobble_X, bobble_Y, 0) * math.min(1, velocity.Magnitude / humanoid.WalkSpeed)
		humanoid.CameraOffset = humanoid.CameraOffset:lerp(bobble, 0.25)
	else
		-- Scale down the CameraOffset so that it shifts back to its regular position.
		humanoid.CameraOffset = humanoid.CameraOffset * 0.75
	end
end

RunService.RenderStepped:Connect(updateBobbleEffect)

The DisplayDistanceType property controls the distance behavior of the humanoid's name and health display. This property is set using the Enum.HumanoidDisplayDistanceType enum with three available values, each with their own set of rules:

• When set to Viewer, the humanoid sees the name/health of other humanoids within range of its own NameDisplayDistance and HealthDisplayDistance.
• When set to Subject, the humanoid takes full control over its own name and health display through its NameDisplayDistance and HealthDisplayDistance values.
• When set to None, the humanoid's name and health bar do not appear under any circumstances.

See Character Name/Health Display for an in-depth guide on controlling the appearance of character names and health bars.

local humanoid = script.Parent

humanoid.DisplayDistanceType = Enum.HumanoidDisplayDistanceType.Viewer
humanoid.HealthDisplayDistance = 0
humanoid.NameDisplayDistance = 100

DisplayName is a property that determines the Humanoid's name display when visible. By default, a new Humanoid will have the value of an empty string. If DisplayName is an empty string, the humanoid's name display will default to the humanoid's parent's name property.

Player Character Loading

When players load their character, either automatically or through the use of LoadCharacter(), the Humanoid that is created by the engine will have its DisplayName property set to the player's DisplayName property.

StarterCharacter and StarterHumanoid

When a Humanoid named StarterHumanoid is parented to StarterPlayer, or when a Humanoid is present in a Model named StarterCharacter, the DisplayName property will be respected when Characters are loaded by Players in the game. The engine will only override the DisplayName property of the Humanoid with the DisplayName property of the player if the Humanoid.DisplayName of StarterHumanoid is an empty string.

This is a read-only property that describes the Enum.Material the Humanoid is currently standing on. It works with both regular Parts and Terrain voxels.

The code sample below demonstrates how to listen to when this property changes using Object:GetPropertyChangedSignal(). When the material the humanoid is standing on changes, it will print a message indicating the new material being stood on.

local Humanoid = route.to.humanoid

Humanoid:GetPropertyChangedSignal("FloorMaterial"):Connect(function()
	print("New value for FloorMaterial: " .. tostring(Humanoid.FloorMaterial))
end)

Caveats

• When the Humanoid is not standing on a floor, the value of this property will be set to Air.

  • This occurs because Enum properties cannot have an empty value.
  • This can cause some confusion if a part has its material is set to Air, though in practice, parts are not supposed to use that material in the first place.
• The character model of the Humanoid must be able to collide with the floor, or else it will not be detected.

  • You cannot test if the Humanoid is swimming with this property. You should instead use its Humanoid:GetState() function.

This property represents the current health of the Humanoid. The value is restricted to the range between 0 and MaxHealth. If the humanoid is dead, this property is continually set to 0.

Note that the TakeDamage() function may be used to subtract from Health instead of setting the property directly.

Health Regeneration

By default, a passive health regeneration script is automatically inserted into humanoids. This causes non-dead player characters to regenerate 1% of MaxHealth each second. To disable this regeneration behavior, add an empty Script named Health to StarterCharacterScripts.

Health Bar Display

When Health is less than MaxHealth, a health bar is displayed in-experience. The display behavior of the health bar is dependent on the HealthDisplayDistance and HealthDisplayType.

See Character Name/Health Display for an in-depth guide on controlling the appearance of character names and health bars.

Death

When the value of the character's health reaches 0, the Humanoid automatically transitions to the Enum.HumanoidStateType.Dead state. In this state, Health is locked to 0; however, there is no error or warning for setting the Health of a dead humanoid to a positive nonzero value.

This property is a number used in conjunction with the DisplayDistanceType property to control the distance from which a humanoid's health bar can be seen.

See Character Name/Health Display for an in-depth guide on controlling the appearance of character names and health bars.

This property controls when a humanoid's health bar is allowed to be displayed. By default, this property is set to DisplayWhenDamaged, which makes the health bar only display when a humanoid's Health is less than its MaxHealth. It can also be set to AlwaysOn, which makes the health bar always display, or AlwaysOff, which prevents it from ever displaying.

Note that this property functions independently of the humanoid's HealthDisplayDistance property which is responsible for making the health bar fade out at certain distances. If Humanoid.HealthDisplayType|HealthDisplayType is set to AlwaysOn, it will still fade out depending the how HealthDisplayDistance is configured.

See Character Name/Health Display for an in-depth guide on controlling the appearance of character names and health bars.

Determines the distance (in studs) off the ground the RootPart should be when the humanoid is standing. The RigType influences the way this property behaves.

For R15 rigs, a suitable hip height is preset to ensure the height of the RootPart is correct. The height of the legs is not used. The overall height of the humanoid can be described in the following formula:

Height = (0.5 * RootPart.Size.Y) + HipHeight

For R6 rigs, HipHeight instead describes a relative offset. The overall height of the humanoid can be described in the following formula:

Height = LeftLeg.Size.Y + (0.5 * RootPart.Size.Y) + HipHeight

If true, the Humanoid jumps with an upwards force equal to the value of Humanoid.JumpPower or the height of Humanoid.JumpHeight, depending on the value of Humanoid.UseJumpPower.

Provides control over the height a Humanoid jumps, in studs. The starting value of this property is determined by the value of StarterPlayer.CharacterJumpHeight which defaults to 7.2.

Although setting this property to 0 will effectively prevent the humanoid from jumping, it's recommended to disable jumping by disabling the Enum.HumanoidStateType.Jumping state through Humanoid:SetStateEnabled().

This property is only visible in the Properties window if Humanoid.UseJumpPower is set to false, as it would not be relevant otherwise (instead, Humanoid.JumpPower is used).

Determines how much upwards force is applied to the Humanoid when jumping. The starting value of this property is determined by the value of StarterPlayer.CharacterJumpPower which defaults to 50 and is constrained between 0 and 1000. Note that jumps are also influenced by the Workspace.Gravity property which determines the acceleration due to gravity.

Although setting this property to 0 will effectively prevent the humanoid from jumping, it's recommended to disable jumping by disabling the Enum.HumanoidStateType.Jumping state through Humanoid:SetStateEnabled().

This property is only visible in the Properties window if Humanoid.UseJumpPower is set to true, as it would not be relevant otherwise (instead, Humanoid.JumpHeight is used).

The maximum value of a humanoid's Health.

The value of this property is used alongside the Health property to size the default health bar display. When a humanoid's Health reaches MaxHealth, its health bar may not be displayed, depending on its HealthDisplayType property.

This property determines the maximum slope angle that a humanoid can climb. If the angle of a slope is greater than a humanoid's MaxSlopeAngle, they will slide down the slope.

When a character spawns, this property is set according to the value of StarterPlayer.CharacterMaxSlopeAngle.

The value of this property is constrained to values between 0° and 89°. It defaults to 89°, so humanoids can climb pretty much any slope they want by default.

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local char = player.CharacterAdded:wait()
local h = char:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")

h.MaxSlopeAngle = 30

MoveDirection is a read-only property that describes the direction a Humanoid is walking in, as a unit vector or zero length vector. The direction is described in world space.

Because this property is read-only, it cannot be set by a Script or LocalScript.

local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")

local playerModel = script.Parent
local humanoid = playerModel:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

local function updateBobbleEffect()
	local now = tick()
	if humanoid.MoveDirection.Magnitude > 0 then -- Is the character walking?
		local velocity = humanoid.RootPart.Velocity
		local bobble_X = math.cos(now * 9) / 5
		local bobble_Y = math.abs(math.sin(now * 12)) / 5

		local bobble = Vector3.new(bobble_X, bobble_Y, 0) * math.min(1, velocity.Magnitude / humanoid.WalkSpeed)
		humanoid.CameraOffset = humanoid.CameraOffset:lerp(bobble, 0.25)
	else
		-- Scale down the CameraOffset so that it shifts back to its regular position.
		humanoid.CameraOffset = humanoid.CameraOffset * 0.75
	end
end

RunService.RenderStepped:Connect(updateBobbleEffect)

The NameDisplayDistance property is a number used in conjunction with the Humanoid.DisplayDistanceType property to control the distance from which a humanoid's name can be seen.

See Character Name/Health Display for an in-depth guide on controlling the appearance of character names and health bars.

Controls whether a humanoid's name and health bar can be seen behind walls or other objects. This property is a Enum.NameOcclusion value and can be configured to occlude all names, enemy names, or disable occlusion entirely.

In cases where the LocalPlayer has no Humanoid associated with it, this property instead applies to the subject Humanoid.

See Character Name/Health Display for an in-depth guide on controlling the appearance of character names and health bars.

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local function onCharacterAdded(character)
	local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
	humanoid.NamOcclusion = Enum.NameOcclusion.OccludeAll
end

local function onPlayerAdded(player)
	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(onCharacterAdded)
end

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(onPlayerAdded)

Determines whether the Humanoid is currently in the Enum.HumanoidStateType.PlatformStanding state. When true, the Humanoid is in a state where it is free-falling and cannot move. This state behaves similar to sitting, except that jumping does not free the humanoid from the state.

Allows developers to disable the behavior where a player Character|character dies if the Neck Motor6D is removed or disconnected even momentarily. This property defaults to true.

RigType describes whether a Humanoid is utilizing the legacy R6 character rig, or the newer R15 character rig.

The R6 rig uses 6 visible Parts while the R15 rig uses 15 visible Parts. R15 rigs have more joints than R6 rigs, making them much more versatile when being animated.

Note that if this property is set incorrectly, the Humanoid will not function correctly. For example, if a R15 humanoid's RigType is set to R6, the Humanoid will die as there is no BasePart called Torso connected to a BasePart called Head.

A reference to the humanoid's HumanoidRootPart object, the root driving part of the Humanoid that controls a humanoid's movement through the 3D world. This part is normally invisible.

Note that in the case of player characters, RootPart is the same as the Model.PrimaryPart of the Player.Character model.

SeatPart is a reference to the seat that a Humanoid is currently sitting in, if any. The value of this property can be either a Seat, or a VehicleSeat. It will be nil if the Humanoid is not currently sitting in a seat.

Note:

• For a bool describing if the Humanoid is currently sitting or not, see Humanoid.Sit

The Sit property is a boolean that indicates whether the Humanoid is currently sitting. Humanoids can be forced into a sitting state by setting this property's value to true. If the Humanoid isn't attached to a seat while in its sitting state, it will trip over with no collision in its legs. A Humanoid can escape from the sitting state by jumping.

Note:

• The Seat or VehicleSeat the Humanoid is sitting on can be obtained using the Humanoid.SeatPart property
• It is possible to detect when a Humanoid sits by connecting to the Humanoid.Seated event.

Do not use This property only works with Experimental Mode enabled, which has been entirely discontinued.

This property describes a 3D position in space where the Player controlling this Humanoid last clicked with a Tool equipped.

This property is primarily used by classic tools to determine what a humanoid is targeting when they activate a tool. If you give an NPC a classic rocket launcher, set their TargetPoint, and then call the tool's Tool:Activate() function, you can make the NPC fire a rocket at the target point.

When a character spawns, this property is set according to the value of StarterPlayer.CharacterUseJumpPower which defaults to true.

When jumping, with this set to true, the Humanoid.JumpHeight value is used to ensure the humanoid jumps to that height. With this set to false, the Humanoid.JumpPower value is used to apply an upward force.

This property describes how quickly the Humanoid is able to walk, in studs per second. It defaults to the value of StarterPlayer.CharacterWalkSpeed (16), meaning a player character can move 16 studs in any direction each second.

Notes

• When controlled on a mobile device or a gamepad, a humanoid can walk slower than its WalkSpeed if the controlling thumbstick is moved just a gradual degree from center.
• You can freeze a humanoid in place by setting WalkSpeed to 0; this prevents the controlling player from moving it through the default movement mechanisms.
• The default animation script scales a humanoid's movement animations based on how fast it is moving relative to the default speed of 16 studs/second.
• The speed at which the Humanoid is currently walking can be obtained using the Running event.

WalkToPart is a reference to a part that the Humanoid is trying to reach. This property is normally set when a part is passed as the 2nd argument of the Humanoid's Humanoid:MoveTo() function.

When WalkToPart is set and a humanoid is actively trying to reach the part, it will keep updating its Vector3 goal to be the position of the part, plus the Humanoid.WalkToPoint translated in object space relative to the rotation of the part.

This can be described in Lua as:

goal = humanoid.WalkToPart.CFrame:pointToObjectSpace(humanoid.WalkToPoint)

Caveats

• Setting the value of WalkToPart isn't sufficient enough to make a humanoid start following a part.
• The Humanoid is prompted to start attempting to reach a goal when the value of WalkToPoint is changed.
• This may be changed in the future.
• The reach goal state of a humanoid will timeout after 8 seconds if it doesn't reach its goal.
• This is done so that NPCs won't get stuck waiting for Humanoid.MoveToFinished to fire.
• If you don't want this to happen, you should repeatedly call MoveTo so that the timeout will keep resetting.

WalkToPoint describes the 3D position in space that a humanoid is trying to reach, after having been prompted to do so by the Humanoid's Humanoid:MoveTo() function.

If a humanoid's Humanoid.WalkToPart is set, the goal is set by transforming WalkToPoint relative to the parts position and rotation. If WalkToPart is not set, then the humanoid will try to reach the 3D position specified by WalkToPoint directly.

Caveats

• The value of WalkToPoint must be changed to a different value in order for the humanoid to start walking towards it.
• If you want to make a humanoid walk to 0,0,0, you should use the Humanoid's MoveTo function.
• This may be changed in the future.
• The reach goal state of a humanoid will timeout after 8 seconds if it doesn't reach its goal.
• This is done so that NPCs won't get stuck waiting for Humanoid.MoveToFinished to fire.
• If you don't want this to happen, you should repeatedly call MoveTo so that the timeout will keep resetting.

moveTo(script.Parent:WaitForChild("Humanoid"), Vector3.new(50, 0, 50), andThen)

This method attaches the specified Accessory to the humanoid's parent.

When this method is called, an Accessory is attached to the character by searching for an Attachment in the humanoid's parent that shares the same name as an Attachment in the accessory's Handle Part. If one is found, the Handle part will be connected to the parent of the Attachment using a Weld, and the weld will be configured so the Attachments occupy the same space.

If the required Attachment can not be found, then the Accessory will remain parented to the humanoid's parent but it will be unattached.

Typically, accessory welds are created on the server, but they can be created on the client under certain circumstances. In these situations, client-sided calls to AddAccessory() may not always produce the desired behavior and you can use BuildRigFromAttachments() to force the expected weld creation.

This method assembles a tree of Motor6D joints for the Humanoid. Motor6D joints are required for the playback of Animations.

Starting from the humanoid's RootPart, this method collects all Attachments parented in the current part whose name ends with RigAttachment. It then searches for a matching attachment in the character that shares the same name as the attachment. Using those two attachments, a Motor6D joint is generated based on the parts associated with the two attachments and the CFrame of the attachments.

Humanoid:BuildRigFromAttachments() also scales the character and sets body colors.

This function causes the Humanoid to enter the given Enum.HumanoidStateType, describing the activity the Humanoid is currently doing.

Please review the Enum.HumanoidStateType page for more information on the particular states, as some have unintuitive names. For example, Enum.HumanoidStateType.Running describes a state where the humanoid's legs are on the ground, including when stationary.

Due to the default behavior of the Humanoid, some states will automatically be changed when set. For example:

• Setting the state to Enum.HumanoidStateType.Swimming when the humanoid is not in the water will cause it to be automatically set to Enum.HumanoidStateType.GettingUp.
• As it is unused, setting the state to Enum.HumanoidStateType.PlatformStanding will cause the humanoid state to be automatically set to Enum.HumanoidStateType.Running.

See also Humanoid:SetStateEnabled() to enable or disable a particular state, and Humanoid:GetState() to get the current humanoid state.

When this function is called, the humanoid will automatically unequip any Tools that it currently has equipped

Although they will be equipped, Tools for which Tool.RequiresHandle is true will not function if they have no handle, regardless if this function is used to equip them or not

See also:

• To unequip tools, use Humanoid:UnequipTools()

Parameters

Returns

This function returns an array of Accessory objects that the humanoid's parent is currently wearing. All such Accessory objects will be included, regardless of whether they're attached or not.

If the Humanoid has no Accessory objects, an empty array will be returned.

See also Humanoid:AddAccessory() to attach an Accessory to a humanoid's parent.

Returns

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local function onPlayerAddedAsync(player)
	local connection = player.CharacterAppearanceLoaded:Connect(function(character)
			-- All accessories have loaded at this point
			local humanoid = character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
			local numAccessories = #humanoid:GetAccessories()
			print(("Destroying %d accessories for %s"):format(numAccessories, player.Name))
			humanoid:RemoveAccessories()
	end)

	-- Make sure we disconnect our connection to the player after they leave
	-- to allow the player to get garbage collected
	player.AncestryChanged:Wait()
	connection:Disconnect()
end

for _, player in Players:GetPlayers() do
	task.spawn(onPlayerAddedAsync, player)
end
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(onPlayerAddedAsync)

This function returns a copy of the humanoid's cached HumanoidDescription which describes its current look. This can be used to quickly determine a character's look and to assign their look to other characters using the Humanoid:ApplyDescription() function.

See Also

• Players:GetHumanoidDescriptionFromUserId() which returns a HumanoidDescription describing the avatar for the passed in user.
• Players:GetHumanoidDescriptionFromOutfitId() which returns a HumanoidDescription whose parameters are initialized to match that of the passed in server-side outfit asset.
• Player:LoadCharacterWithHumanoidDescription() which spawns a player with the look from the passed in HumanoidDescription.

Returns

This function returns what Enum.BodyPartR15 a Part is, or Enum.BodyPartR15.Unknown if the part is not an R15 body part. This function allows developers to retrieve player body parts independent of what the actual body part names are, instead returning an enum.

It can be used in conjunction with Humanoid:ReplaceBodyPartR15(). For example, if a player's body part touches something, this function will return get a part instance. Developers can then look up what part of the body that was, like head or arm. Then depending on what that part was, developers can either perform some gameplay action or replace that part with some other part - perhaps showing damage.

This function can be useful for games where hit location is important. For example, it can be used to determine if a player is hit in the leg and then slow them down based on the injury.

Parameters

Returns

This function returns the Enum.Limb enum that is associated with the given Part. It works for both R15 and R6 rigs, for example:

-- For R15
print(humanoid:GetLimb(character.LeftUpperLeg))  -- Enum.Limb.LeftLeg
print(humanoid:GetLimb(character.LeftLowerLeg))  -- Enum.Limb.LeftLeg
print(humanoid:GetLimb(character.LeftFoot))  -- Enum.Limb.LeftLeg

-- For R6
print(humanoid:GetLimb(character:FindFirstChild("Left Leg")))  -- Enum.Limb.LeftLeg

Note that Humanoid:GetLimb() will throw an error if the part's parent is not set to the humanoid's parent.

Parameters

Returns

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local player = Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

for _, child in pairs(character:GetChildren()) do
	local limb = humanoid:GetLimb(child)
	if limb ~= Enum.Limb.Unknown then
		print(child.Name .. " is part of limb " .. limb.Name)
	end
end

Returns

This function returns the humanoid's current Enum.HumanoidStateType, describing the activity the Humanoid is currently doing, such as jumping or swimming.

See also Humanoid:SetStateEnabled() to enable or disable a particular state, and Humanoid:ChangeState() to change the current humanoid state.

Returns

local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local character = script.Parent

local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

local doubleJumpEnabled = false

humanoid.StateChanged:Connect(function(_oldState, newState)
	if newState == Enum.HumanoidStateType.Jumping then
		if not doubleJumpEnabled then
			task.wait(0.2)
			if humanoid:GetState() == Enum.HumanoidStateType.Freefall then
				doubleJumpEnabled = true
			end
		end
	elseif newState == Enum.HumanoidStateType.Landed then
		doubleJumpEnabled = false
	end
end)

UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(inputObject)
	if inputObject.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Space then
		if doubleJumpEnabled then
			if humanoid:GetState() ~= Enum.HumanoidStateType.Jumping then
				humanoid:ChangeState(Enum.HumanoidStateType.Jumping)
				task.spawn(function()
					doubleJumpEnabled = false
				end)
			end
		end
	end
end)

The GetStateEnabled function returns whether a Enum.HumanoidStateType is enabled for the Humanoid.

The humanoid state describes the activity the humanoid is currently doing.

When a particular Enum.HumanoidStateType is disabled, the humanoid can never enter that state. This is true regardless if the attempt to change state is made using Humanoid:ChangeState() or Roblox internal humanoid code.

See also:

• For an event that fires when a humanoid state is enabled or disabled see Humanoid.StateEnabledChanged
• To enable or disable a Humanoid state use Humanoid:SetStateEnabled()

Parameters

Returns

local humanoid = script.Parent:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

-- Set state
humanoid:SetStateEnabled(Enum.HumanoidStateType.Jumping, false)

-- Get state
print(humanoid:GetStateEnabled(Enum.HumanoidStateType.Jumping)) -- false

This function causes the Humanoid to walk in the given Vector3 direction.

By default, the direction is in world terms, but If the relativeToCamera parameter is true, the direction is relative to the CFrame of the CurrentCamera. As the negative Z direction is considered "forwards" in Roblox, the following code will make the humanoid walk in the direction of the CurrentCamera.

humanoid:Move(Vector3.new(0, 0, -1), true)

When this function is called, the Humanoid will move until the function is called again. However, if the default control scripts are being used, this function will be overwritten when called on player Characters. This can be avoided by either not using the default control scripts, or calling this function every frame using RunService:BindToRenderStep() (see example).

This function can be called on the server, but this should only be done when the server has network ownership of the humanoid's assembly.

See also Humanoid:MoveTo() which makes aHumanoid walk to a point, and Player:Move() which effectively calls this function.

Parameters

Returns

local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local player = Players.LocalPlayer

RunService:BindToRenderStep("move", Enum.RenderPriority.Character.Value + 1, function()
	if player.Character then
		local humanoid = player.Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
		if humanoid then
			humanoid:Move(Vector3.new(0, 0, -1), true)
		end
	end
end)

This function causes the Humanoid to attempt to walk to the given location by setting the Humanoid.WalkToPoint and Humanoid.WalkToPart properties.

The location and part parameters correspond with what Humanoid.WalkToPoint and Humanoid.WalkToPart will be set to.

If the part parameter is specified, the Humanoid will still attempt to walk to the point. However, if the part moves then the point the Humanoid is walking to will move to be at the same position relative to the part. If the part parameter is not specified, then the position the Humanoid is walking to will not change.

The reach goal state of a humanoid will timeout after 8 seconds if it doesn't reach its goal. This is done so that NPCs won't get stuck waiting for Humanoid.MoveToFinished to fire. If you don't want this to happen, you should repeatedly call MoveTo so that the timeout will keep resetting.

MoveTo() ends if any of the following conditions apply:

• The character arrives at its destination.

• The character gets stuck and the eight-second timer expires.

• The value of either Humanoid.WalkToPoint or Humanoid.WalkToPart changes.

• A script calls Humanoid:Move() with a new moveDirection parameter.

• A script changes the CFrame property of the RootPart.

Parameters

Returns

local function moveTo(humanoid, targetPoint, andThen)
	local targetReached = false

	-- listen for the humanoid reaching its target
	local connection
	connection = humanoid.MoveToFinished:Connect(function(reached)
		targetReached = true
		connection:Disconnect()
		connection = nil
		if andThen then
			andThen(reached)
		end
	end)

	-- start walking
	humanoid:MoveTo(targetPoint)

	-- execute on a new thread so as to not yield function
	task.spawn(function()
		while not targetReached do
			-- does the humanoid still exist?
			if not (humanoid and humanoid.Parent) then
				break
			end
			-- has the target changed?
			if humanoid.WalkToPoint ~= targetPoint then
				break
			end
			-- refresh the timeout
			humanoid:MoveTo(targetPoint)
			task.wait(6)
		end

		-- disconnect the connection if it is still connected
		if connection then
			connection:Disconnect()
			connection = nil
		end
	end)
end

local function andThen(reached)
	print((reached and "Destination reached!") or "Failed to reach destination!")
end

moveTo(script.Parent:WaitForChild("Humanoid"), Vector3.new(50, 0, 50), andThen)

This function removes all Accessory objects worn by the humanoid's parent. For player Characters, this will remove all hats and other accessories.

This function removes Accessory object by calling Instance:Destroy() on them, meaning the Parent of the accessories are set to nil and locked.

See also Humanoid:AddAccessory() to attach an Accessory, and Humanoid:GetAccessories() to get all Accessory objects belonging to a Humanoid.

Returns

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local function onPlayerAddedAsync(player)
	local connection = player.CharacterAppearanceLoaded:Connect(function(character)
			-- All accessories have loaded at this point
			local humanoid = character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
			local numAccessories = #humanoid:GetAccessories()
			print(("Destroying %d accessories for %s"):format(numAccessories, player.Name))
			humanoid:RemoveAccessories()
	end)

	-- Make sure we disconnect our connection to the player after they leave
	-- to allow the player to get garbage collected
	player.AncestryChanged:Wait()
	connection:Disconnect()
end

for _, player in Players:GetPlayers() do
	task.spawn(onPlayerAddedAsync, player)
end
Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(onPlayerAddedAsync)

Dynamically replaces a R15/Rthro limb part in a Humanoid with a different part. The part is automatically scaled as normal.

This function is useful for modifying characters during gameplay or building characters from a base rig. The related function GetBodyPartR15 can come in handy when using this function.

The name of the part passed in should match with the name of the BodyPartR15 Enum passed in.

Parameters

Returns

This function sets whether a given Enum.HumanoidStateType is enabled for the Humanoid. When a particular Enum.HumanoidStateType is disabled, the Humanoid can never enter that state. This is true regardless if the attempt to change state is made using Humanoid:ChangeState() or Roblox internal Humanoid code.

Note that using SetStateEnabled() on the server does not replicate the change to the client, nor vice-versa.

Parameters

Returns

local character = script.Parent

local JUMP_DEBOUNCE = 1

local 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
			humanoid:SetStateEnabled(Enum.HumanoidStateType.Jumping, false)
		end
	elseif newState == Enum.HumanoidStateType.Landed then
		if isJumping then
			isJumping = false
			task.wait(JUMP_DEBOUNCE)
			humanoid:SetStateEnabled(Enum.HumanoidStateType.Jumping, true)
		end
	end
end)

This function lowers the Humanoid.Health of the Humanoid by the given amount if it is not protected by a ForceField

This function accepts negative values for the amount parameter. This will increase the humanoid's Humanoid.Health. However this will only have an effect if no ForceField is present.

How do ForceFields protect against TakeDamage

A Humanoid is considered protected by a ForceField if a ForceField meets one of the following criteria:

• The ForceField shares the same Instance.Parent as the Humanoid
• The ForceField is parented to the Humanoid.RootPart of the Humanoid
• The ForceField is parented to an ancestor of the Humanoid other than the Workspace

To do damage to a Humanoid irrespective of any ForceFields present, set Humanoid.Health directly.

For more information on how ForceFields protect Humanoids see the ForceField page

Parameters

Returns

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local player = Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

humanoid:TakeDamage(99)

This function unequips any Tool currently equipped by the Humanoid

The unequipped Tool will be parented to the Backpack of the Player associated with the Humanoid.

If no Tool is equipped, this function will do nothing.

Although Tools can be equipped by NPCs (Non Player Characters), this function only works on Humanoids with a corresponding Player. This is because a Backpack object is required to parent the unequipped Tool to.

See also:

• To instead equip a Tool, use Humanoid:EquipTool()

Returns

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local ContextActionService = game:GetService("ContextActionService")

local player = Players.LocalPlayer

ContextActionService:BindAction("unequipTools", function(_, userInputState)
	if userInputState == Enum.UserInputState.Begin then
		if player.Character then
			local humanoid = player.Character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")
			if humanoid then
				humanoid:UnequipTools()
			end
		end
	end
end, false, Enum.KeyCode.U)

This yielding function makes the character's look match that of the passed in HumanoidDescription. A copy of the passed HumanoidDescription is cached as the HumanoidDescription for the Humanoid.

This function is optimized through making the assumption that only this function is used to change the appearance of the character, and no changes are made through other means between calls. If changes are made to the character between calls. Then this function may not make the character reflect the passed in HumanoidDescription accurately. If you want to use this function in conjunction with other means of updating the character, Humanoid:ApplyDescriptionReset() will always ensure the character reflects the passed in HumanoidDescription.
