How to stop while loop by releasing key?

It's supposed to charge the users mana, and it does, but it doesn't stop when release the key. I have to wait until the mana reaches 100, and then I have to press the key again to stop it. How can I make it so that it stops charging when I release the key? I figure it's supposed to be like the opposite of a stamina bar used for sprinting, but I still couldn't get it to work.


m = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse() -- Charging
m.KeyDown:connect(function(key)
    if key == "f" then 
        while Player.Character.Humanoid.Mana.Value < 100   do
        game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid.Mana.Value =        game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid.Mana.Value + 1
        wait(0.01)
        end
    end
end)

m.KeyUp:connect(function(key) -- Stop charging
    if key == "f" then
        game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid.Mana.Value = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid.Mana.Value + 0
    end
end)

I recomend using one variable, that gets enabled when pressed, disabled when released, then using a while wait loop with an if statement that checks the variable User#20388 0 — 6y

btw, keydown is deprecated, use userinputservice User#20388 0 — 6y

Thanks, I watched a tutorial on UIS, and I did what you said and it's working fine. Edbotikx 99 — 6y

uis = game:GetService("UserInputService")


uis.InputBegan:connect(function(input)
    if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E then
        charging = true
        while charging == true do
        game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid.Mana.Value = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid.Mana.Value  + 1 
        wait() 
        if charging == false then return end
        if game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Humanoid.Mana.Value == 100 then return end
        end
    end 
end)

uis.InputEnded:connect(function(input)
        if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E then
        charging = false
    end
end)
