Enum.KeyCode not working for 3 keys

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

#1

I’ve been trying to use a key, which was the X key and it didn’t work. I thought it was a script error but I used this and nothing was printing, and every other key were printing. This was the same for C and V.

uis.InputBegan:Connect(function(input)
	print(input.KeyCode)
end)

What is the issue? Is it a problem on my end, or is it a bug? I also noticed that the keys only print when I’m typing in the chat in-game.

Script breaking SOLELY because of the KeyCode

Try doing this instead:

uis.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, x)
  if x then return end
  if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.X then
    -- do your stuff here
  end
end)

If you really don’t want to use enum, use: input.KeyCode.Name == "X" instead.

I tried the first and second methods. None of them worked either.

Try using this UserInputService | Roblox Creator Documentation
It is advised to read the entire API-reference.

#5

Then there’s something wrong on your end.

#6

Could it got to do with the fact that c, v and x all have things that they do when you hold down ctrl and the key.

I didn’t even think about that. I’ve heard of similar glitches where sometimes the keyboard by default uses those shortcuts without even holding down control.

It’s probably the keyboard I’m using because, I was just holding down the control key and the keys registered then, for some reason.

Are you using a localscript, and if so, where is it? And what is the “uis” variable?

#10

its local, and the uis variable is

local uis = game:GetService("UserInputService")
#11

Well try this

local uis = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local index = {Enum.KeyCode.X,Enum.KeyCode.C,Enum.KeyCode.V}

uis.InputBegan:Connect(function(input,processed)
  if table.find(index,input.KeyCode) and not processed then
   print("Pressed Key: "..tostring(input.KeyCode))
  end
end)

It will only print when you pressed the keys when you aren’t typing or chatting

What script type were you used?
If it wasn’t a LocalScript then this is the problem, Try putting the code in StarterPlayer > StarterPlayerScripts.

#13

it was a local script inside of starterpack

#14

these lines don’t work either.

#15

may i ask why did you put it in starterpack

#16

the problem is in your end, you might be doing something that is breaking it

#17

because it works with every other key, besides I’ve already put it in starterGui, and into the starterPlayer, and it still didn’t work. I don’t know it is probably something wrong with my keyboard or something.

#18

Try putting it in StarterPlayer.StarterPlayerScripts.

#19

I’ve already put the script into where ever it could go. nothings changed

Can you please share your script?
