2 of my scripts don't work, no errors

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Alright, so…

I have two scripts that don’t work, even though they are supposed to so far I know.

Here’s the first one which I literally copied from a youtuber:

local minHeight = 10
local maxHeight = 30

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
		local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
		local humanoidRootPart = character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
		local playerheight = nil
		local fallheight = nil

		if humanoid and humanoidRootPart then
			humanoid.FreeFalling:Connect(function(newState)
				if newState then
					playerheight = humanoidRootPart.Position.Y
					elseif not newState then
					fallheight = playerheight - humanoidRootPart.Position.Y

					if fallheight >= maxHeight then
						humanoid.Health = humanoid.Health - 100
					elseif fallheight >= minHeight then
						humanoid.Health = humanoid.Health - math.floor(fallheight)
					end

				end
			end)
		end
	end)
end)

and here is the problem child:

UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()
local Shift = player.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.Shifttorun
	 
UserInputService:Connect(function(input)
	if input.Keycode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift then
		print("Pressed LeftShift")
		Shift.TextTransparency = 1
		print("TextTransparency has been changed.")
	end
	end)
	
UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gpe)--gpe checks if they are typing in chat
		if gpe then return end --Stops the script if they are typing in chat

		if input.Keycode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift then
			print("Pressed LeftShift")
		Shift.TextTransparency = 1
		print("TextTransparency has been changed 2.")
		end
	end)

I’ve already made a post about this one, asked for help in a discord server… gone through multiple fixes and still… doesn’t work.

Does anyone know what is going wrong?

#2

UserInputService:Connect is not a function, try getting rid of that code block.

#3

Do I put anything instead of that?

#4

Nope InputBegan should work fine. Which you already have.

#5

If I just delete that code block, input is an unknown global, otherwise:

UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input)
	if input.Keycode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift then
		print("Pressed LeftShift")
		Shift.TextTransparency = 1
		print("TextTransparency has been changed.")
	end
	end)

Using this doesn’t work.

#6

Is this script in a local script > and where is the script located.

#7

It’s a local, StarterPlayerScripts script.

#8

Put it in starter character, starter pack, or start gui instead. Then test it.

#9

All of them don’t work…
I’ve had other people tell me to put them in those places too, it doesn’t change anything for some reason…

#10

Well you’re clearly doing something wrong then. Are both the scripts in 1 script like what are you doing wrong. I can go to studio and replicate this script and make it work right now. Like what are you specifically doing to prevent it from working.

#11

I’m asking myself the same thing, and it’s probably the stupidest mistake.

And no they aren’t in the same script.

#12

I can literally send you all my stuff if you want me to :sweat_smile:

#13

oh wait found the error I think.

if input.Keycode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift then

KeyCode< not Keycode.

#14

Oh… I forgot about this :sweat_smile: :sweat_smile: :sweat_smile:

Keycode is not a valid member of InputObject “InputObject” - Client - LocalScript:17

I kept getting that, but other people didn’t know what was going wrong there.
