How to make the player move up when he presses the letter "e"?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello,
I am currently making a game about the Soviet manned lunar program: Soviet Moon Program - Roblox. (Do not hesitate to have a look and give me your opinion).
I reproduce the N1 rocket as well as the UR-700 rocket. Once it takes off, a module finds itself in lunar orbit. I therefore have to reproduce a zero g situation. For this I set the gravity of the square to 0. Unfortunately the player can only move forwards, backwards, left and right. I would like that when the player presses a key (for example the key “e”), this one moves upwards. And the same for moving down. I tried lots of solutions: using a jetpack, making an environment in water…

I searched on the devforum but I couldn’t find anything that answered my question (or I formulated my question badly) (I also became a member thanks to his research ;)).

Do you have any ideas to solve my problem please?

Awaiting your reply,
Aepokocmoc

In this case you could either use UserInputService or Context Action Service.

UserInputService

ContextActionService

UserInputService

local UserInputService = game:GetService("ContextActionService")


UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gameProcessedEvent)

         if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E then

               -- What ever you want to happen

         end

end)

Context Action Service

local ContextActionService = game:GetService("ContextActionService")

local ACTION_RELOAD = "Reload"

local function handleAction(actionName, inputState, inputObject)

	if actionName == ACTION_RELOAD and inputState == Enum.UserInputState.Begin then

               -- What you want to happen
	end
end

ContextActionService:BindAction(ACTION_RELOAD, handleAction, true, Enum.KeyCode.E)

Thank you for your quick and efficient response! I will try these scripts and learn more about these two Services. I’m new to scripting so I don’t know where I should put the script: I guess it’s in ServiceScriptService?

This will go in the StarterCharacter scripts, for the players I believe.
