wdym

if Input.KeyCode == Enum.Key.Code.F then

[true violet]

for example if a player pressed A then changed it to D
i want two variable to keep track of them
currentkey would be D and previous key would be A

[left dirge]

basically

[true violet]

yes
it only stores current key, not previous

[left dirge]

make a variable for the current key

then

make another variable

called like prevkey or something

set the prevkey

to the currentkey

before the currentkey gets set to the key you currently pressing

basically

previousKey = currentkey
currentkey = input.KeyCode

[obtuse ravine]

local d = false
local a = false

UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(inp)
if inp.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.D then
d = true
elseif inp.KeyCode == Enum.KeyKode.A then
a = true
end
end)

UnserInputService.InputEnded:Connect(function(inp)
if inp.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.D then
d = false
elseif inp.KeyCode == Enum.KeyKode.A then
a = false
end
end)

i dont really know what you mean but thats the script from what i understand

[left dirge]

he knows how to detect the current key

he just needs the one before it

[obtuse ravine]

he wants the previous key to be stored?

[left dirge]

just use this

[left dirge]

yeah

[obtuse ravine]

ahhh

I get it

so he probably wants to create somethin like ctrl + C right

anyway

[true violet]

but that would make the previousKey change to currentkey

or am i wrong

[obtuse ravine]

nah

[left dirge]

no

because

its placed before it

so basically

if currentkey is nil

then previouskey will become nil but then the currentkey will change to a

or whatever u press

so then previouskey will become a but currentkey will become something else

cause code runs from top to bottom

not all at once

[true violet]

okay got it

thnakyou
