Detecting Multiple Key Input's at Once?

#1

Hey Developers,

I have been trying multiple options but I haven’t had any success in detecting multiple Key Input’s. My aim is for my script to detect a Ctrl+G input to trigger something.

How would I detect if there are two inputs at once?

You can set a variable called “HoldingControl” and set it to true when keyinput is control, and set it to false when keyoutput is control. When you have a keyinput of G, you can check whether or not the variable HoldingControl is true, and if it’s true, then it detects Ctrl+G, otherwise, Ctrl is not being held before G. Let me know if you need code to help you out.

Could you provide a code example?

#4 
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local HoldingControl = false
UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gameProcessed)
	if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.Keyboard then
		if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftControl then
			HoldingControl = true
		elseif input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.G and HoldingControl then -- Detects Ctrl + G
			--Code Here for Ctrl + G
		end
	end
end)

UserInputService.InputEnded:Connect(function(input, gameProcessed)
	if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.Keyboard then
		if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftControl then
			HoldingControl = false
		end
	end
end)

Even better: store all held keys so you can get an accurate representation of what key is being pressed if you ever want to have more modified keybinds.

I know this thread is a bit old… but would you or anyone else have an example of how to store the keys for a larger bind setup?
I am primarily needing this for a custom game pad setup.

Eek. When I made this post I forgot :IsKeyDown() and :IsGamepadButtonDown() existed. Use those instead. If you want all keys, use :GetKeysPressed(). :+1:
