Code Samples

ContextActionService Tool Reload

This example properly shows how to use ContextActionService in binding user input to a contextual action. The context is the tool being equipped; the action is reloading some weapon. Test this code sample by placing it in a LocalScript parented to a Tool. When the Tool is equipped, a “Reload” action is bound, and when the Tool is unequipped the “Reload” action is unbound. When the player presses R with the Tool equipped, the message “Reloading!” will appear.
