How do I allow the part to keep moving if the key is down?
At the moment, you have to press the "W" key each time to move one stud, however. I want it so if you hold the W key down, the part will keep going forward until the key is not being held anymore. Any ideas on how to fix this?
game:GetService("UserInputService").InputBegan:connect(onKeyPress)
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local LetterW = Enum.KeyCode.W
local function IsLetterDown()
return UserInputService:IsKeyDown(LetterW)
end
local function Input(input, gameProcessedEvent)
if not IsLetterDown() then
wait(1)
else
if FreeCam == true then -- The variables for FreeCam are already set.
game.Workspace.Camera.Blobby.Position = Vector3.new(game.Workspace.Camera.Blobby.Position.X+1, game.Workspace.Camera.Blobby.Position.Y, game.Workspace.Camera.Blobby.Position.Z)
end
end
end
Thank you.

local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService") --The service we will be using to detect inputs.
local Blobby = workspace.Camera:WaitForChild("Blobby") --"Blobby", the part that we will be moving.
local ButtonIsDown = false --The variable we will be using to define if the W button is down or not.
local InputBegan = function(Key) --The function for when an input begins.
if Key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.W then --If the input is "Enum.KeyCode.W", which is obviously the W key, then:
ButtonIsDown = true --Set ButtonIsDown to true.
end
end
local InputEnded = function(Key) --The function for when an input ends.
if Key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.W then --If the input being released is "Enum.KeyCode.W", which is obviously the W key, then:
ButtonIsDown = false --Set ButtonIsDown to false.
end
end
UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(InputBegan)
UserInputService.InputEnded:Connect(InputEnded)
while wait() do --An infinite loop to make sure that Blobby keeps moving everytime ButtonIsDown is true.
if ButtonIsDown then --If the W key is being held, then:
Blobby.Position = Vector3.new(Blobby.Position.X + 1, Blobby.Position.Y, Blobby.Position.Z) --Move Blobby's X position by 1 stud.
end
end
You should try this instead.

How did it not work? I have tested it in Studio and it did work. Hellnickell 5 — 5y

So while infinite loops are generally frowned upon, I believe in this case it would be beneficial.
if keyIsPressed then
while true do
--camera movement
if keyReleaseDetected then
break
end
end
end
It would cut down on the input lag due to only needing to check for the keypress once.
