Context does not work

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

so basically I have a function that connects the binds the context after the player equips the tool

but the problem is it doesnt work it doesnt print out 1 but it prints out if i move the print outside the if condition

local SET_BEAM = "Set Beam"
local SETBEAM_KEY = Enum.KeyCode.I

local function onSetBeam(actionName,inputState,inputObj)
	if isEquipped == false then return end
	
	if inputState == Enum.UserInputState.Begin then
		print(1)
	end
	
end


--// Equip Functions
Tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
	isEquipped = true
	Equip_Anim:Play()
	
	Equip_Anim.KeyframeReached:Connect(function(keyFrame)
		if keyFrame == "Finish_Equip" then
			Idle1_Anim:Play()
			
			-- Bind Contexts
			print("bind")
			ContextActionService:BindAction(SET_BEAM,onSetBeam,false,SETBEAM_KEY)
			
		end
	end)
	
end)
#2

Can you confirm whether did this KeyframeReached event gets fired?

#3

yes it gets fired the print(“bind”) does print Ive worked with contextactionservice before and I know that should work I even checked my previous scripts on contextactionservice and its the same but somehow on the script it doesnt work

#4

IsEquipped will never not equal false since it’s scope is in the Equipped Event. To fix this, you’ll have to move it to the SETBEAM variable

#5

I’m kinda confused on how the UserInputState.Begin. Could you tell us how this gets fired or how could we achieve this enumeration?

#6

Or did you try pressing I on your keyboard?

Heres the whole code IsEquipped is on the scope

--// Services

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local ContextActionService = game:GetService("ContextActionService")

--// Player

local LPlayer = Players.LocalPlayer

local Char = LPlayer.Character or LPlayer.CharacterAdded:Wait()

local Humanoid = Char:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

LPlayer.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)

Humanoid = char.Humanoid

end)

--// Directories

local Tool = script.Parent.Parent

local Handle = Tool:WaitForChild("Handle")

local Handlers = Tool:WaitForChild("Handlers")

local Events = Handlers:WaitForChild("Events")

local Animations = Handlers:WaitForChild("Animations")

--// Events

local SetBeam = Events:WaitForChild("SetBeam")

--// Context

local CHANGE_FORM = "Change Form"

local SET_BEAM = "Set Beam"

--// Keys

local CHANGEFORM_KEY = Enum.KeyCode.K

local SETBEAM_KEY = Enum.KeyCode.I

--// Animations

local Idle1_Anim = Humanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation(Animations:WaitForChild("Idle_1"))

local Equip_Anim = Humanoid.Animator:LoadAnimation(Animations:WaitForChild("Equip"))

--// SFX

local IgniteSFX = Handle:WaitForChild("Ignite")

local DisIgniteSFX = Handle:WaitForChild("DisIgnite")

local Swing1SFX = Handle:WaitForChild("Swing_1")

local Swing2SFX = Handle:WaitForChild("Swing_2")

--// Values

local isEquipped = false

local isIgnite = false

local currentForm = 1

--// Functions

local function onSetBeam(actionName,inputState,inputObj)

if isEquipped == false then return end

if inputState == Enum.UserInputState.Begin then

print(1)

end

end

--// Equip Functions

Tool.Equipped:Connect(function()

isEquipped = true

Equip_Anim:Play()

Equip_Anim.KeyframeReached:Connect(function(keyFrame)

if keyFrame == "Finish_Equip" then

Idle1_Anim:Play()

-- Bind Contexts

print("bind")

ContextActionService:BindAction(SET_BEAM,onSetBeam,false,SETBEAM_KEY)

end

end)

end)

Tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()

isEquipped = false

isIgnite = false

Equip_Anim:Stop()

Idle1_Anim:Stop()

--// Unbind Contexts

ContextActionService:UnbindAction(SET_BEAM)

end)
#8

when you press the key that was set to the context it gets fired

#9

uhmm so this is weird when I tried this


	if inputState == Enum.UserInputState.End then
		print(2)
	end

it does print(2) but UserInputState.Begin does not fire

#10

Update so I changed the keycode for the context

first i tried key “I” still doesnt work then I tried key “O” doesnt work as well but when I tried key “Y” it worked! idk why but it worked

#11

Could you maybe print out what is the input state of inputState like so:

print(inputState.UserInputState)
#12

I think I know why.

The keys I and O are reserved for zooming in and out of your camera in Roblox scripts. This might be the issue.
