Nothing will print in "Mouse.KeyDown:Connect" script?

Asked 502 views2 answers

Hey, I'm testing a script, but when I press Z nothing is printed. I'm trying to add a delay when I press Z, but nothing will print... Please help 

local repstore = game:WaitForChild("ReplicatedStorage")
local Remote = repstore:WaitForChild("IceStart")


Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
Mouse = Player:GetMouse()

cool = true

Mouse.KeyDown:Connect(function(key)
key = key:lower()
if key == "z" then
 if cool == true then return end
 cool = false
 
 print("Working")

wait(5)
cool = true
    end 
end)

Try to use UserInputService the Mouse.KeyDown is deprecated

You can see more here: UserInputService - Wiki

Remember, UserInputService can used in LocalScript or ModuleScript. not work in Server Script

here is a example:

local service = game:GetService("UserInputService")

service.InputBegan:Connect(function(input,gameproc)
	if not gameproc then -- (gameProcessed)
		if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.F then
			print("You pressed F")
		end
	end
end)

service.InputBegan:Connect(function(input,gameproc)
	if not gameproc then -- (gameProcessed)
		if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.F then
			wait(0.07)
			print("You stoped with pressing F")
		end
	end
end)

You can try this:

local service = game:GetService("UserInputService")

local debounce = true

service.InputBegan:Connect(function(input,gameproc)
	if not gameproc and debounce == true then -- (gameproc = gameProcessed)
		if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Z then
			debounce = false
			print("Working")
			wait(5)
			debounce = true
		end
	end
end)

Hope it helped :)

Use UserInputService

Like that

local UserInputService = game:GetService('UserInputService')

local debounce = true

UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input)
	if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.Keyboard and input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Z and debounce then
		debounce = false
		print("Working")
		wait(5)
		debounce = true
    end 
end)
