I know how to make something happen when you press a key, but how would you make it so that it only happens while your holding that key down?
For example, while your'e holding down e, your character is playing an animation, from a script in a tool, but when you let go of e, your character stop playing the animation.
Here's some code based on your example
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local ACTIVATION_KEY = Enum.KeyCode.E
local ANIMATION_ID = "http://www.roblox.com/Asset?ID=144884906"
local animationTrack
local animation = Instance.new("Animation")
animation.AnimationId = ANIMATION_ID
UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input)
if input.KeyCode == ACTIVATION_KEY then
local character = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character
if character then
animationTrack = character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(animation)
animationTrack:Play()
if not animationTrack.Looped then
animationTrack.DidLoop:Connect(function()
animationTrack:Play()
end)
end
end
end
end)
UserInputService.InputEnded:Connect(function(input)
if input.KeyCode == ACTIVATION_KEY then
if animationTrack then
animationTrack:Stop()
animationTrack = nil
end
end
end)

Try using the context action service
Can you expand a little? Maybe add a link to the roblox wiki about that?
