Keydown function wont work inside normal script?
i need it to be in a normal script for this to work but they keydown function only seems to work in a local script
does anyone know why it only works in a local script?
--//Keystroke class
local debounce = true
script.Parent.Equipped:Connect(function()
local tool = script.Parent
local char = tool.Parent
local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(char)
local mouse = player:GetMouse()
local v = script:WaitForChild('Value')
mouse.KeyDown:Connect(function(key)
print (key)
-- stuff
end)
end)

You cannot get the player's mouse in a Server Script. You can use a RemoteEvent for this to work.
Local Script:
--//Keystroke class
local debounce = true
script.Parent.Equipped:Connect(function()
local tool = script.Parent
local char = tool.Parent
local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(char)
local mouse = player:GetMouse()
local RemoteEvent = game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent
local v = script:WaitForChild('Value')
mouse.KeyDown:Connect(function(key)
RemoteEvent:FireServer(key)
end)
end)
Server Script:
game.ReplicatedStorage.RemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player, Key)
--Code
print(Key)
end)
Let me know if it doesn't work. I'll try to help you.

Also, mouse.KeyDown is deprecated. You should now always use UserInputService.InputBegan. youtubemasterWOW 2741 — 4y
