Keydown and Keyup?

Asked Feb 24, 2016393 views2 answers

I was just wondering something, and since school now I cant test it, but basically.

Would this work for a murder knife?

local waittime = 3
local tool = script.Parent
local mouse  = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()

tool.Equipped:connect(function(key)
if key == "f" then
	mouse.KeyUp:connect(function()
	wait(waittime)
	runanimation() -- this would be a runanim function, for like throwing?
end
end
end

so really i dont know if this would work?

Well yes that would work if you have the tool and the stuff basically in the right place... Like if you have the BodyVelocity or what you want in there yes that would work but you have some mistakes in there the key that the person would equip it with would not be on the keyboard rather he would equip it with a hot key like using 1 - 9 and 0 to equip the tool. So the key is not a good argument for the Equipped Event rather use it with the KeyUp. Something like this...

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()
tool.Equipped:connect(function()
mouse.KeyUp:connect(function(key)
       if key == 'f' then
      wait(3)
      runanimation()
end
end)
end)

However this will just run the animation when people stop holding down the 'f' key on the keyboard.

I hope I helped you and thank you for reading this answer.

Just to clairfy, KeyDown and KeyUp are deprecated.


function key(User, gameProcessedEvent)
                if User.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.R then
        --YOUR CODE!!!
end
game:GetService("UserInputService").InputBegan:connect(key)

Rather, use UserInputService, as KeyDown does not work on some devices.
