How do I get the sound to stop when I let go of the selected key?
I have a script that plays a sound, among other things, when you press a key. What I want to know is to how you make the sound stop when you let go of the key? Did I mess up?
repeat wait() until game.Players.LocalPlayer
mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
mouse.KeyDown:connect(function (key) -- Run function
key = string.lower(key)
if string.byte(key) == 48 then
script.Parent.ImageTransparency = 0
game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 95
game.Workspace.Sound3:Play()
end
end)
mouse.KeyUp:connect(function(key)
key = string.lower(key)
if string.byte(key) == 48 then
script.Parent.ImageTransparency = 1
game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid.Walkspeed = 40
game.Workspace.Sound3:Stop()
end
end)
*** Help me***

Don't use KeyDown or KeyUp. User#11440 120 — 8y

This is my favorite way to do it, although it is not the only way.
I suggest using UserInputService and its InputBegan and InputEnded events. Also take a look at InputObjects and KeyCodes.
Basically, you want something (LocalScript) like this:
local userInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local localPlayer = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local cloneSound = game.Workspace["Sound3"]:Clone()
cloneSound.Parent = localPlayer.Character
local function onInputBegan(input, gameProcessed)
if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.Keyboard then
local keyPressed = input.KeyCode
if keyPressed == Enum.KeyCode.F then
cloneSound:Play() -- Replace with "Resume()" if you want to play from where it left off last.
end
end
end
local function onInputEnded(input, gameProcessed)
if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.Keyboard then
local keyPressed = input.KeyCode
if keyPressed == Enum.KeyCode.F then
cloneSound:Stop() -- Replace with "Pause()" if you want to pause instead of stop.
end
end
end
UserInputService.InputBegan:connect(onInputBegan)
UserInputService.InputEnded:connect(onInputEnded)

Deprecated Events
Both the KeyDown and KeyUp events have been deprecated for getting keyboard input. The new recommendation is to use either the UserInputService or the ContextActionService for dealing with input (Other than mouse input, for which you should still use the events and properties from the Mouse object)
