Whats wrong with this script?
Please provide more explanation in your question. If you explain exactly what you are trying to accomplish, it will be much easier to answer your question correctly.
I need when I press the L key to play an animation.
mouse.KeyDown:connect(function (key)
key = string.lower(key)
if string.byte(key) == l then
running = true
local Humanoid = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid
local Animation = script.Animation
local Current = Humanoid:LoadAnimation(Animation)
Current:Play()
local keyConnection = mouse.KeyUp:connect(function(key)
if string.byte(key) == l then
running = false
Current:Stop()
end
end)

I'll assume mouse was defined earlier in the script.
Your problem is where you check the the key on lines 5 and 19. string.byte returns the ascii value of the character. It's okay, I'm not sure what ascii is either. But this function basically just converts a character into a specific number that represents that character. In the case of L, that number is 76. You would therefore need to write
if string.byte(key) == 76 then
Although it's easier and much more readable to just compare it directly with the string.
if key == "l" then
But you shouldn't use KeyDown at all, since it is now deprecated. Use the UserInputService instead.
