QuickBinds

A system for Roblox Luau for easily handling RunService and ContextActionService binds

Provides tools for easy clean-up of groups of binds QoL features for ContextActionService input binds, such as:

• Configurable Input Buffering
• Easy support for held keys
• WrapMethod utility function for adapting classes

I intend to rework this with Roblox's new input system once it's out of beta, primarily to abstract away the Instance-based API Roblox so dearly loves

How to use

Create a new group with:

local BindsMod = require(module)
local Group = BindsMod.NewGroup("Group1")

Then, you can bind to RenderStepped easily via

Group:Bind{
  Service = game:GetService("RunService"), -- must be the instance
  Func = function(dt:number) end, -- can pass any function, parameters from the RS event are passed on
	Name = "My RS bind!", -- needs name for binding and unbinding
	Priority = Enum.RenderPriority.Camera.Value -- has to be a number
}

Or, bind to ContextActionService with

Group:Bind{
  Service = game:GetService("ContextActionService"),
	Func = function(name:string,state:Enum.UserInputState,obj:InputObject) end,
	Name = "My CS bind!",
	Priority = Enum.ContextActionPriority.Medium.Value
}

When binding to CAS extra parameters like

  Button:boolean -- whether or not to show the button on mobile
  Buffer:number -- input buffering, requires CanActivate to also be passed
  CanActivate:(...any)->boolean -- needs a return of true or false, runs every frame that input buffering is active
  Held:boolean -- tells the system to listen for held keys, requires CanActivate to be passed
  FailCondition:(...any)->() -- if Held is true, fires this if CanActivate returns false

Can be passed to alter how it acts

And, when you are done, just run

Group:Destroy()

And everything will be automatically unbound!

Alternatively, do

Group:Unbind(NameOfBind)

to unbind individually
