Press key when hovering over a button to activate?
Basically what i want to do is when my mouse is hovering over a TextButton i can press a key and it'll detect it. How would i go about doing this? Heres the code i wrote but it doesn't work:
button.MouseMoved:Connect(function()
mouse.KeyDown:Connect(function(input)
print(input)
if input.KeyCode==Enum.KeyCode['F'] and button.favorite.Visible==false then
button.favorite.Visible=true
else
button.favorite.Visible=false
end
end)
end)

KeyDown is deprecated, please practice UserInputService. Ziffixture 6913 — 4y

So event listeners like Hover and KeyDown activate no matter where they are when you hit the key. So you need to put a debounce. Which is a fancy way of saying make a bool variable = true when you are hovering and only run the code inside KeyDown when it’s true. Also I believe there is a mouseHover event you can use instead of MouseMoved. Not sure but you can look into that.
local variableName = false
button.MouseMoved:Connect(function()
variableName = true
mouse.KeyDown:Connect(function(input)
if variableName then
print(input)
if input.KeyCode==Enum.KeyCode['F'] and button.favorite.Visible==false then
button.favorite.Visible=true
else
button.favorite.Visible=false
end
variableName = false
end
end)
end)

Actually the KeyDown code runs hundreds of times and also when i stop hovering over the item. Is there anyway to fix this? outcasino 0 — 4y

Does it work? If it does re accept answer lol. If it doesn’t I can look at it again. SethHeinzman 284 — 4y

Also use User input service instead of KeyDown like the guy said. I won’t post the code since I’m hanging out with my family but it should be a simple fix. SethHeinzman 284 — 4y
