How to make a hopperbin fire a rocket after a key press?
I'm new to scripting, so I'm just testing out some different types of tools. The tool I'm currently trying to make is a hopperbin that has multiple uses. So far, I've got most of it done, I just need to make it fire a rocket when the user presses the e key. Does anyone mind teaching me how to do this?
The code below is what I have so far:
function onKeyDown(key)
key:lower()
if key == "e" then
end
function onSelected(mouse)
mouse.KeyDown:connect(onKeyDown)
end
script.Parent.Selected:connect(onSelected)

Key down is depricated EzraNehemiah_TF2 3552 — 9y

It still works for me, but what else should I use? Ross1397 25 — 9y

Um. For a beginner, KeyDown works... When you get advanced use UserInputService EzraNehemiah_TF2 3552 — 9y

Assuming your rocket is a single part in Wokspace named "Engine", or a group of parts welded to it:
function onKeyDown(key)
key:lower()
if key == "e" then
if Workspace.FindFirstChild("Engine") then
Workspace.Engine.Velocity = Vector3.new(0,100,0);
end
end
end
function onSelected(mouse)
mouse.KeyDown:connect(onKeyDown)
end
script.Parent.Selected:connect(onSelected)
That will fling the part into the air with minimal code, but if you want continuous controllable thrust, look into BodyThrust on the wiki.
Hope this helps!
