Stop operation when tool is deselected?
Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local tool = Instance.new("Tool")
tool.Parent = Player.Backpack
local mouse = Player:GetMouse()
tool.Name = "SOMETHING"
local tool2 = Instance.new("Part", tool)
tool2.Transparency = 1
tool2.Name = "Handle"
tool.Selected:connect(function()
mouse.KeyDown:connect(function(key)
if key == "z" then
print("TESTING")
end
end)
end)
How do I make it so when I un-equip the tool and then I press Z, nothing will happen?

Every tool has these functions:
Equipped ( mouse object )Unequipped
So, I would recommend making a function that you can connect/disconnect whenever the player equips/unequipped the tool, E.G:
function printText()
print("Player joined the game.)
end
local func = game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(printText) -- does the function
func:disconnect() -- stops it from working again
So:
Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local tool = Instance.new("Tool")
tool.Parent = Player.Backpack
local mouse = Player:GetMouse()
tool.Name = "SOMETHING"
local tool2 = Instance.new("Part", tool)
tool2.Transparency = 1
tool2.Name = "Handle"
function attack(key)
key = key:lower() -- very important, use this every time you check for a lowercase letter
if key == "z" then -- use tab for formatting, not spaces
print("TESTING")
end
end
local func = mouse.KeyDown:connect(attack)
function equip() -- this is better
func:connect()
end
function unequip()
func:disconnect()
end
Hopefully this works. If not, just use a debounce.

Thank you, but can you also demonstrate how to use a debounce? I've asked around and people said its complicated to explain. A9X 10 — 8y
