How do I make a script that detects when the player presses a button?

[tough ether]

Well I'm kinda new to scripting. I just make whatever comes to mind, and ask for help here!

It's been going pretty well for now, anyways..
What do I do?

Button as in a Button node or in key on a keyboard?

[tough ether]

Keyboard like pressing A or D

[wild turtle]

Okay, you have Input.is_action_pressed() for example, which checks if you hold down a button, there’s also Input.is_action_just_pressed() and many more

But before you can use them you have to create some actions/keybinds

This would be under project settings > input map

[tough ether]

wait uhh.. how do I get Input?

can I literally just copy paste that

and it'll work with me adding a little more stuff?

[wild turtle]

As said, first you need some key binds

[tough ether]

[wild turtle]

Which you have to create

[tough ether]
