 KeyDown ( String key )
| |
| Description | Fired when a Key is pressed (the key is the key). |
|---|---|
| Member of: | Mouse |
Description
The key argument is the pressed key. Letter keys are lowercase.
Example
local function onKeyDown( key )
print("Key:", key, " Code:", string.byte(key))
end
mouse.KeyDown:connect(onKeyDown)
Limitations
- Not all keys generate this event (For example, "/" key if chat is enabled).
- Some keys generate the same string as other keys.
- It's possible for the string to be empty (possibly due to "\0" key code).
