KeyDown not working as expected?
I've just started playing around with moving a part with w a s d - It works, to some extent. The part moves as it should but when 'w' is released it still keeps going. There is probably a really simple solution that I can't figure out... But eh
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local ctrl = game.Workspace.Focus
local mouse = plr:GetMouse()
mouse.KeyDown:connect(function(key)
if key == "w" then
while key == "w" do
ctrl.Position = ctrl.Position + Vector3.new(0,0,1)
wait()
end
end
end)
(ctrl is the part I'm trying to move) Thank you for any help :)

Adding onto what yumtaste said, you need to detect when the key is released and then update the loop, but he didn't do that correctly
local moving = false
mouse.KeyDown:connect(function(key)
if key == "w" then
moving = true
while moving do
ctrl.Position = ctrl.Position + Vector3.new(0,0,1)
wait()
end
end
end)
mouse.KeyUp:connect(function(key)
if key == "w" then
moving = false
end
end
