UserInputService only when holding a Tool?

Asked by

So i have been trying this for a long time and still can't do it.How do i make it so that when the player is holding a tool THEN they can use UIS (UserInputService).Most of the time i can use the UIS without holding the tool and that is not what i am trying to get.

view source
01wait(3)
02local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
03local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
04local Holding = false
05 
06if script.Parent.Equipped == true then
07    Holding = true
08elseif script.Parent.Equipped == false then
09    Holding = false
10end
11 
12    UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(key)
13        if key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.R and Holding == true then
14            print("Key")
15             local BV = Instance.new("BodyVelocity", Player.Character.HumanoidRootPart)

Not sure if this'll work but try script.Parent.Equipped:connect(function() Holding = true end) and the script.Parent.Unequipped:connect(function() Holding = false end) Asentis 17 — 5y

I figured out the problem here.

There's a setting within the tool called 'RequiresHandle'. If this is enabled, the tool will wait for a handle and will yield the script.

If you don't want a handle, make sure that's disabled or else include a part within the tool called 'Handle'.

view source
01local UIS       =       game:GetService("UserInputService")
02local Tool      =       script.Parent
03 
04local Equipped  =       false
05 
06UIS.InputBegan:connect(function(Input, GP)
07    if Input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.Keyboard then
08        if GP ~= true then
09            if Equipped == true then
10                local Key = Input.KeyCode
11 
12                if Key == Enum.KeyCode.R then
13                    print("R was pressed!")
14                end

Hello. Your variable Holding will be defined once and it will not change if you equip/unequip the tool. There are 2 events that will help you: Equipped and Unequipped. Here's an example:

view source
01local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
02local Holding = false
03 
04UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, box)
05    if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.R and not box and Holding then
06        print("Key R pressed, tool equipped.!")
07    end
08end)
09 
10script.Parent.Equipped:Connect(function()
11    Holding = true
12end)
13 
14script.Parent.Unequipped:Connect(function()
15    Holding = false
16end)

Note: box is a boolean value. If the user was focused on a TextBox, for example, the Chat, when he was pressing the key, it will be true, if not, false.

Run it in a LocalScript and make sure the LocalScript is direclty inside the tool. Not any descendants the tools has. JakyeRU 637 — 5y
