The question is in the title (also I’m a complete noob at scripting so the more detail the better) :slight_smile:

Are you talking about a 2D Game? Lol
If so, then here you go my friend :L

#3

Can you provide more info on what you’re trying to achieve ? Is it a 2D game as stated above ? since there aren’t really any other alternatives where you can be using left, right and jump without going backwards aswell.

Well I am trying to make a game like super smash bros and brawlhalla and yes it will be a 2D game.

This should do the job, check it out

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
local ContextActionService = game:GetService("ContextActionService")
 
local jumping = false
local leftValue, rightValue = 0, 0
 
local function onLeft(actionName, inputState)
	if inputState == Enum.UserInputState.Begin then	
		leftValue = 1
	elseif inputState == Enum.UserInputState.End then
		leftValue = 0
	end
end
 
local function onRight(actionName, inputState)
	if inputState == Enum.UserInputState.Begin then
		rightValue = 1
	elseif inputState == Enum.UserInputState.End then
		rightValue = 0
	end
end
 
local function onJump(actionName, inputState)
	if inputState == Enum.UserInputState.Begin then
		jumping = true
	elseif inputState == Enum.UserInputState.End then
		jumping = false
	end
end
 
local function onUpdate()
	if player.Character and player.Character:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
		if jumping then
			player.Character.Humanoid.Jump = true
		end
		local moveDirection = rightValue - leftValue
		player.Character.Humanoid:Move(Vector3.new(moveDirection,0,0), false)
	end
end
 
RunService:BindToRenderStep("Control", Enum.RenderPriority.Input.Value, onUpdate)
 
ContextActionService:BindAction("Left", onLeft, true, "a", Enum.KeyCode.Left, Enum.KeyCode.DPadLeft)
ContextActionService:BindAction("Right", onRight, true, "d", Enum.KeyCode.Right, Enum.KeyCode.DPadRight)
ContextActionService:BindAction("Jump", onJump, true, "w", Enum.KeyCode.Space, Enum.KeyCode.Up, Enum.KeyCode.DPadUp, Enum.KeyCode.ButtonA)
