ContextActionService Binding

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hello,

I’m currently trying to script inverted movement, where when a player clicks a part, it sends a remote event to the localscript, which then changes the ContextActionService Bindactions so that when W is pressed, the character moves backward, etc.

local ContextActionService = game:GetService("ContextActionService")
local RS = game:GetService('ReplicatedStorage')
local Inverted_W = 'moveBackwardAction'

local function handleAction(actionName, inputState, inputObject)
	if actionName == Inverted_W and inputState == Enum.UserInputState.Begin then
	    print('Inverted My Friend')

    end
end

local function InvertedSwitch()
	ContextActionService:UnbindAction("moveBackwardAction")
	ContextActionService:UnbindAction("moveForwardAction")
	
	ContextActionService:BindAction("moveBackwardAction", handleAction,false, Enum.PlayerActions.CharacterForward )
	
end
RS.InvertedSwitch.OnClientEvent:Connect(InvertedSwitch)

Right now it only prints ‘Inverted My Friend’. The movement for W and S keys is disabled though, so the unbind actions worked. How do I rebind it?

I do not want to use the PlayerModule Control Script as the player may switch back and forth a lot between the different key bindnings.
