How Do I Know The Last Key Pressed?
I'm trying to see if I can identify the previous key pressed. I want to know so that I can make sure the last gun I used is nil and that I can use the new gun I am currently using.
local CurrentGun
local PrevGun = ?
InputService.InputBegan:connect(function(key, gpe)
if key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.One or key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.KeypadOne and not gpe then
local PP = PPart:Clone()
PP.Parent = Character
CurrentGun = PP
elseif key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Two or key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.KeypadTwo and not gpe then
local SP = SPart:Clone()
SP.Parent = Character
CurrentGun = SP
elseif key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Three or key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.KeypadThree then
local BP = BPart:Clone()
BP.Parent = Character
CurrentGun = BP
end
end)

You have the right idea with the variables, you just need to implement the prevGun. It's not hard.
--using fake stuff for simplicity's sake
currentGun = nil
prevGun = nil
onInput:connect(function(key)
if key == 1 then
newGun = PPart:Clone()
prevGun = currentGun
currentGun = newGun
end
end)
See how that works? When a new gun is equpped, currentGun is actually the previous gun until we reset its value. That means we can use currentGun to set prevGun correctly, as long as we do this before we update it.
