UserInputService question

[jolly grove]

In this script I want to detect whenever the LeftShift key is being held down, but the array received from GetKeysPressed() never includes LeftShift.

nvm fixed it

You can just use userinputservice.inputbegan/ended btw

[brave ingot]

Use UserInputService:IsKeyDown

Otherwise combine UserInputService.InputBegan with UserInputService.InputEnded

[graceful robin]

thats literally worse

why would he poll this shit

when he can use event driven approach

[graceful robin]

dont listen to ziffix and use InputBegan with InputEnded

or actions

[brave ingot]

That is an overreaction. There are no performance ramifications. Regardless, I did immediately suggest that OP use a combination of InputBegan and InputEnded. UserInputService:IsKeyDown is simply consistent with his original design

No harm in knowing your alternatives

[robust yarrow]

IsKeyDown is fine on its own but if hes dropping it in a while true loop its still polling every frame for something that only changes on a keypress

so I would have to agree with the bay harbor ragebaiter

the os gives you interrupts for input events, its not a polling loop under the hood

lmao

please stop embarassing urself

when you press a key the keyboard sends a hardware interrupt to the OS which queues the event, roblox picks it up and fires InputBegan. theres no loop
