Keybind moving script

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Is there any way to make this script detect when I press W and let go of W?

local userInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")

userInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gameProcessedEvent)
	
	if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.Keyboard then
		
		if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.W then
			print("You pressed W")
		end
	end
end)

An extra thought, is there any way to get a part to move wherever I want it to (constantly) when I press W, and for it to stop when I let go of W?

Any help is appreciated! :slightly_smiling_face:

Oh this is easy, you should use UserInputService.InputEnded for this, you should watch this UIS.InputEnded

For the second thing, use RunService or you can use a While to move the part, but i don’t like using while for this…

then do a code like this:

While wait() do
       part.Position += Vector3.new(0,0,0.1)
end

and when it ends, make that it does nothing.also, this is only an example, this would be in a RemoteEvent of course

I figured out the InputEnded function, so it tells me when I press and release Q.

local userInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")

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

	if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.Keyboard then

		if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Q then
			print("You pressed Q")
		end
	end
end)

userInputService.InputEnded:Connect(function(input, gameProcessedEvent)
	
	if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.Keyboard then
		
		if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Q then
			print("You released Q")
		end
	end
end)

Where should I put the code to make the part move?

Ok, for this, you should use RemoteEvents, if you don’t know what it is, then watch this helpful video.

i used this to learn RemoteEvents before, and it works perfectly.

It doesn’t seem to be working.

Here is the code from the first script, where I implement the function.

local userInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local MovePart = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("MovePart")
local MovePartFunction = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("MovePartFunction")
local Part = game.Workspace.Part


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

	if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.Keyboard then

		if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Q then
			print("You pressed Q")
			MovePartFunction:InvokeServer(Part)
		end
	end
end)

userInputService.InputEnded:Connect(function(input, gameProcessedEvent)
	
	if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.Keyboard then
		
		if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Q then
			print("You released Q")
		end
	end
end)

And then here is the other script that connects to the last one.

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local MovePart = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("MovePart")
local MovePartFunction = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("MovePartFunction")

MovePartFunction.OnServerInvoke = function(player, Part)
	Part.Position += Vector3.new(0,0,0.1)
end

I have a RemoteEvent and a RemoteFunction in ReplicatedStorage, and also the second script is in there, too. I’m not sure if it is supposed to be there, or if it is supposed to be a LocalScript.
