How can i make a player's character jump using a key pressed event?

Hey, i was following a video tutorial from peas factory about key pressed event. I followed everything he did in that video and i wanted to test myself by trying something new. I wanted my character to jump when a key was pressed but i don't really know how to do it. I also looked up the roblox wiki page and i found out that Humanoid.Jump is a bool value, so if i want my character to jump i must set it to true. I was wondering if someone could help me with my script.

player  = game.Players.LocalPlayer
tool = script.Parent
handle = tool.Handle
tool.Equipped:Connect(function(mouse)
    mouse.KeyDown:connect(function(key)
        if key == "f" then
            player.Character.Humanoid.Jump = true
        end
    end)
end)

Also i inserted a tool in the starter pack,a part called "Handle" in the tool and the script i used was a local script so there are no tehnical issues to call them this way.

Thanks in advance for helping me!

Did you test the script? If it didn't work, were there any errors? itchymoonfire 179 — 5y

Are you sure that tool.Equipped:Connect(function(mouse) the tool.Equipped event will return your player’s mouse?

here’s a solution remove the mouse, then add a new variable named

local mouse = player:GetMouse()

under the player variable, also using global variables are generally bad habits in Lua, you want to local every variable, for speed and performance bonuses

i'll test this out in a minute,thanks in advance seikkatsu 110 — 5y

i tested "tool.Equipped:connect" by changing my cursor and it worked. Also i made all the variable local and tested the code with the variable you told me to and i found out that that the problem was at this line: "player.Character.Humanoid.Jump = false" seikkatsu 110 — 5y

this is what i see in the output: " 18:53:10.585 - Humanoid is not a valid member of Player" could you help me fix that line? seikkatsu 110 — 5y
