How should I detect keys that are pressed?
I have been using a key script in my game, and it seems to work pretty well, only that the method I am using can't seem to tell the difference between key 0 and shift, and the Ctrl key and 2. This is quite frustrating as I have a secondary weapon on key two and an ability on the Ctrl key. So whenever someone takes out their secondary, they end up using their ability as well. Also when they hold 0 they sprint, but mainly the problem is the Ctrl key. The method I am using (It might be decrepit or something idk) is this:
local mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
mouse.KeyDown:connect(function (key) -- Run function
key = string.lower(key)
print (string.byte(key))
if string.byte(key) == 50 then -- supposed to be Ctrl, but activates on 2 as well
--do stuff
end
end)
How do I distinguish between 2 and CTRL? Thanks in advance for your help.

Don't use KeyDown. That is deprecated in favor of UserInputService and ContextActionService. M39a9am3R 3210 — 5y

local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(Input)
print(Input.KeyCode)
if Input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftControl then
--Do Stuff
end
end)
