You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:

  1. What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!
    A blocking lightsaber
  2. What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!
    My inputservice “IsKeyDown” says “unable to cast token to token”
  3. What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?
    yes, didnt work
    After that, you should include more details if you have any. Try to make your topic as descriptive as possible, so that it’s easier for people to help you!

It’s because u need to put the keycode in the parameter instead of input type
this would prob help u UserInputService:IsKeyDown (roblox.com)

And since there is no keycode for mouse button 2, u will prob have to check when player pressed the mouse button 2 and when he let it go n just make a debounce so that when the mouse button 2 is held it goes true and when its not it goes false
