Click key to equip a weapon, can anyone help?
So I have a hard time with coding, like I know the words, I just don't know the structure. If someone could help me structure this better I would appreciate it.
script.Parent.Selected:connect(function(k)
m.KeyDown:connect(function(k)
print(k)
if k=="q" then
local tool=script.parent
tool.Equipped:connect(function(KeyDown)
m.KeyDown:connect(function(k)
end)
end)
end)
end)
script.Parent.Selected:connect(function()
end)

If you don't quite understand the Structure of the script, i'll show you.
local tool=script.Parent
A variable is a Title that holds a value, the Variable shown above is currently holding script.Parent as it's value. Next we need an Function, some functions can be already defined, and some can be custom.
-- predefined function
object.Touched:connect(function(parameter)
return parameter
end)
-- undefined function
local ABC=function(a,b,c) -- a,b,c as the function's parameter
return print(a,b,c)
end
--(parameters are variables kept in a function)
But if you want a defined function then we use events, What is an event? An event is an Object that connects to a user-defined function(listeners), when the certain event ever happens, the Event fires. In this case an KeyDown event.
local tool -- define tool
local player=game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character=player.Character
local humanoid=character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
player:GetMouse().KeyDown:connect(function( key )
if key==" q " then
humanoid:EquipTool(tool)
end
end)
If by structure you mean tabbing and where to put things, I cleaned this up for you:
tool = script.Parent --Ideally, you want to declare some variables in the beginning of the script.
script.Parent.Selected:connect(function(mouse) --The "Selected" event passes the mouse as an argument to its connected function.
mouse.KeyDown:connect(function(key)
if key == "q" then --You could also write these 3 commands out on 1 line, since they're so short.
print(key)
end
end) --Closing the KeyDown function
end) --Closing the Selected function
