Detect if a player press a key when the tool is equipped?
Hello I would like to make a skill for a game only work when the tool is equipped so I wrote the following script for example and it's not working. Any ideas on how to fix it ?
local uis = game:GetService('UserInputService')
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
script.Disabled = false
script.Parent.Equipped:connect(function()
script.Disabled = false
uis.InputBegan:Connect(function(input)
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E then
print('The tool was equipped')
end
end)
end)
script.Parent.Unequipped:connect(function()
script.Disabled = true
uis.InputBegan:Connect(function(input)
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E then
print('The tool was unequipped')
end
end)
end)

Why at the beginning do you set the script's Disabled to false? Is it disabled in the first place? Bluemonkey132 194 — 6y

Okay firstly.. you can't mess with the script's Disabled property.
I suggest making an a variable true when you equip, and simply checking it upon key press.
local uis = game:GetService('UserInputService')
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local eq = false --Equipped variable
script.Parent.Equipped:Connect(function() --'connect' is deprecated
eq = true; --set equipped variable to true
script.Parent.Unequipped:Wait(); --wait for them to unequip
eq = false; --set equipped variable to false
end)
uis.InputBegan:Connect(function(input,process)
if not process then --Make sure they're not chatting
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E then
--check equipped val
print(eq and "The tool is equipped" or "The tool is unequipped");
end
end
end)
