How to track keypressed in a tool?
Hi, I'm using userinputservice. I wanted to know how to make it only track input when a tool is equipped, I tried the script below but it just didnt register at all when equipped. I'm out of ideas for it lol
01 | local uis = game:GetService("UserInputService") |
02 | local attacking = false |
03 |
04 | script.Parent.Equipped:connect(function() |
05 | input1 = uis.InputBegan:connect(function(input, gp) |
06 | if gp then |
07 | return |
08 |
09 | else |
10 | if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Q then |
11 | print("pressed") |
12 | end |
13 | end |
14 | end) |
15 |

You can create a variable that holds a boolean value that changes on wether or not you equipped the tool
Then create a function that trigger when InputBegan, and use if function using the boolean value you created
Example
01 | local Equipped = false |
02 | local input = game:GetService("UserInputService") |
03 | script.Parent.Equipped:connect(function() |
04 | Equipped = true |
05 | end) |
06 |
07 | script.Parent.Unequipped:connect(function() |
08 | Equipped = false |
09 | end) |
10 |
11 | input.InputBegan:connect(function(inp, proc) |
12 | if Equipped then |
13 | if inp.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Q then |
14 | Print("Q is pressed!") |
15 | end |

You should do this instead, because the Equipped event is supposed to fire the "moment" you equipped the tool, and it doesn't keep on firing as long as your holding it it doesn't keep on firing starmaq 1290 — 5y

For some reason that didn't work, I might be clowning but this is what I wrote with that info:
01 | local uis = game:GetService("UserInputService") |
02 | local attacking = false |
03 | local equipped = false |
04 |
05 | script.Parent.Equipped:connect(function() |
06 | equipped = true |
07 | end) |
08 |
09 | script.Parent.Unequipped:connect(function() |
10 | equipped = false |
11 | end) |
12 |
13 | uis.InputBegan:connect(function(input, gp) |
14 | if equipped then |
15 | if gp then |

Just like before there are no errors in output, it's just nothing is printed when Q is pressed and released regardless of equip status.

Do your tool have a handle? Or "RequiresHandle" value in the property of the tool is set to false? Azure_Kite 885 — 5y
