Stop operation when tool is deselected?
01 | Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer |
02 | local tool = Instance.new("Tool") |
03 | tool.Parent = Player.Backpack |
04 | local mouse = Player:GetMouse() |
05 | tool.Name = "SOMETHING" |
06 | local tool2 = Instance.new("Part", tool) |
07 |
08 | tool2.Transparency = 1 |
09 | tool2.Name = "Handle" |
10 |
11 | tool.Selected:connect(function() |
12 | mouse.KeyDown:connect(function(key) |
13 | if key == "z" then |
14 | print("TESTING") |
15 | end |
16 | end) |
17 | 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:
1 | function printText() |
2 | print("Player joined the game.) |
3 | end |
4 |
5 | local func = game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(printText) -- does the function |
6 |
7 | func:disconnect() -- stops it from working again |
So:
01 | Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer |
02 | local tool = Instance.new("Tool") |
03 | tool.Parent = Player.Backpack |
04 | local mouse = Player:GetMouse() |
05 | tool.Name = "SOMETHING" |
06 | local tool2 = Instance.new("Part", tool) |
07 |
08 | tool2.Transparency = 1 |
09 | tool2.Name = "Handle" |
10 |
11 | function attack(key) |
12 | key = key:lower() -- very important, use this every time you check for a lowercase letter |
13 | if key == "z" then -- use tab for formatting, not spaces |
14 | print("TESTING") |
15 | 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 — 9y
