key down question?
okay I want a player to press a letter but I don't want it In a tool or anything I just want it to be you press a letter then I write my code of what I want to happen. Trust me I seached it up and I found some script that people said worked but they didn't when I tested them. Please don't down vote i seached it up here on the site and I found nothing. It would help if you explained it to me, what you did in the script.
Please help!

Try this:
player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
mouse = player:GetMouse()
mouse.KeyDown:connect(function(key)
if key == "q" then
-- do stuff
end
end

Non, change line 5 to this: "if key:lower(key) == "q" then" Im not saying it doesnt work, im just saying that you could improve it. groovydino 2 — 9y

Ewarr, if you want Non's example to work, it has to be in a localscript :/ groovydino 2 — 9y

Localscripts have to be in the player, see here: http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=API:Class/LocalScript Spongocardo 1991 — 9y

Is something wrong with roblox studio or is it the script? It's not working? Ewarr1011 0 — 9y

I prefer using the UserInputService to get when a key is pressed because the mouse fires later and sometimes doesn't fire if you press and release fast enough like this
function KeyDown(key)
print("The "..key.." key was pressed")
end
local ui=game:GetService("UserInputService")
ui.InputBegan:connect(function(obj)
if obj.KeyCode~=nil then
local K=string.char(obj.KeyCode)
KeyDown(K)
end
end)
