No more KeyDown?
I was wondering why my keyboard-fired scripts were not working when I noticed that ROBLOX has discontinued the KeyDown/Up events on both Mouse and Gui objects. There is an event "InputBegan" that says I can get an Instance of keydown, but I am unfamiliar with it. I don't know any other ways to doing KeyDown/Up events and the ROBLOX Wiki has no examples of this event being used for keyboard scripts. Can someone show me an alternative method?
I was making a script that would make a pair of wheels spin.
Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
Mouse = Player:GetMouse()
Car = game.Workspace.Test
LR = Car.LR.Rim_Default.BodyAngularVelocity
RR = Car.RR.Rim_Default.BodyAngularVelocity
throttle = false
brake = false
clutch = false
function presskey(key)
if key == "w" then
LR.P = 1250
RR.P = 1250
LR.AngularVelocity = (LR.Parent.CFrame * CFrame.new(15,0,0)).p
RR.AngularVelocity = (RR.Parent.CFrame * CFrame.new(-15,0,0)).p
throttle = true
brake = false
end
if key == "s" and throttle == false then
LR.P = 1250
RR.P = 1250
LR.AngularVelocity = (LR.Parent.CFrame * CFrame.new(0,0,0)).p
RR.AngularVelocity = (RR.Parent.CFrame * CFrame.new(0,0,0)).p
brake = true
end
end
Mouse.KeyDown:connect(presskey)

Ok so, ever since KeyDown and KeyUp became deprecated, I've used User Input Service. It may be a bit more complicated compared to the old way of doing it but offers more features than just KeyDown and KeyUp. Check all the functions and stuff out here. Ok, so to use it's version of KeyDown, use InputBegan as can be seen in my code:
game:GetService("UserInputService").InputBegan:connect(function(input)
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.W then
-- Do something when W is pressed!
end
end)
This could be put into your code as shown below:
Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
Mouse = Player:GetMouse()
Car = game.Workspace.Test
LR = Car.LR.Rim_Default.BodyAngularVelocity
RR = Car.RR.Rim_Default.BodyAngularVelocity
throttle = false
brake = false
clutch = false
game:GetService("UserInputService").InputBegan:connect(function(input)
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.W then
LR.P = 1250
RR.P = 1250
LR.AngularVelocity = (LR.Parent.CFrame * CFrame.new(15,0,0)).p
RR.AngularVelocity = (RR.Parent.CFrame * CFrame.new(-15,0,0)).p
throttle = true
brake = false
end
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.S and throttle == false then
LR.P = 1250
RR.P = 1250
LR.AngularVelocity = (LR.Parent.CFrame * CFrame.new(0,0,0)).p
RR.AngularVelocity = (RR.Parent.CFrame * CFrame.new(0,0,0)).p
brake = true
end
end)

This is easier than UndeniableLimited's script.
wait()
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()
mouse.KeyDown:connect(function(key)
if key == "f" then
print("F was pressed")
end
end)
It's simple, really.
