im trying to have my script play an animation and set a bool value to true while the key is pressed. i dont get any errors in the output but at the same time nothing is printing in the output

local char = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character
local hum = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid") --gets the humanoid
local anim1 = hum:LoadAnimation(script:WaitForChild("BlockAnim"))

anim1:Play()
game:GetService("UserInputService").InputBegan:connect(function(input) -- Input Began checks if the player presses anything and fires whenever the player does so.
	if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.F then -- This detects for a "e" press.
		print("1")
		char.Blocking.Value = true
		anim1:Play()
	end
end)

game:GetService("UserInputService").InputEnded:connect(function(input) -- Fires when input ended
	print("2")
	char.Blocking.Value = false
	anim1:Stop()
end)

What are the parameters of your Remote Event? That may be the issue.

Also, put if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.F after the Input ended event

That is not what I meant, you have the character variable, but you don’t use it to get the humanoid in line 2…

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local char = Player.Character or Player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local hum = char:FindFistChild(“Humanoid") --gets the humanoid
local anim1 = hum:LoadAnimation(script:WaitForChild(“BlockAnim”))

anim1:Play()
game:GetService(“UserInputService”).InputBegan:connect(function(input, IsTyping) – Input Began checks if the player presses anything and fires whenever the player does so.

if IsTyping then return end

if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.F then -- This detects for a "e" press.
	print("1")
	char.Blocking.Value = true
	anim1:Play()
end

end)

game:GetService(“UserInputService”).InputEnded:connect(function(input, IsTyping) – Fires when input ended
if IsTyping then return end
print(“2”)
char.Blocking.Value = false
anim1:Stop()
end)
