A LocalScript in a tool I made has functions that run onKeyPress. The functions and everything run fine, but even when the tool is unequipped the function still runs onKeyPress. How can I fix that?

Local script runs even when the tool is not equipped?

Make a variable to track the equipping / unequipping of the tool.
Then you can check the variable prior to your keypresses.
Example;
local eq = false;
local tool = script.Parent;
--Variable tracking
tool.Equipped:connect(function()
eq = true;
tool.Unequipped:connect(function()
eq = false;
end)
end)
--Keypresses
game:GetService("UserInputService").InputBegan:connect(function(key,process)
if not process then --Prevent firing while chatting
if eq then --This is your check.
if key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.M then
print("M pressed");
end
end
end
end)
