Keyboard input detection for arrow keys?
When detecting keyboard inputs i usually use scripts similar to the small example below:
function PressQ(key)
if key == "q"
then...
end
mouse.KeyDown:connect(PressQ)
but I'm wondering what I should replace the "q" on the second line with to detect the down arrow being pressed? I've only ever used letters...
Thank you for your time! :)

KeyDown is deprecated and will no longer work, we now have to use userinputservice.
(Userinputservice is client only!)
local UserInputService = game:GetService('UserInputService')
function onInputBegan(input,gameProcessed)
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Up then
-- Up arrow
end
end
UserInputService.InputBegan:connect(onInputBegan)
You can see I use Enum for the keycode, you can find the keycodes here
But these are the ones you need
Enum.KeyCode.Up --> Up Enum.KeyCode.Down --> Down Enum.KeyCode.Left --> Left Enum.KeyCode.Right --> Right
To do the normal stuff (letters) you can simply do this
Enum.KeyCode.A --> A Enum.KeyCode.B --> B Enum.KeyCode.C --> C
There are more things you can do with it, but these are the things you need.
If you have a question, just ask :)

Perfect, exactly what I was looking for thank you! The link to the other KeyCodes was also very useful, much appreciated! :) AlexTheCreator 461 — 6y
