Hello, I’m trying to make custom keybinds using UserInputService but there’s an issue, how do I make it where if the key pressed == a String value then a function happens? I know it works with KeyDown but I can’t seem to get it to work with UserInputService

What do you mean? I don’t quite understand what you’re asking.

im trying to do this but with UserInputService.


Plr:GetMouse().KeyDown:Connect(function(K)
		if K == game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerScripts.KeyBinds.Crouch.KeyBind.Value then

UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(Function(Key) 
If key.KeyCode == Keybind.Value then

UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input)

will that make it where if they press the button that ='s to a value?

#9

Are you trying to make it so that the player can set a custom keybind?

#10

yes and if they set the KeyBind to E the Value puts the value as E and i need it where if they press the Values Value then a function happens

You’re trying to compare an Enum(input.KeyCode) with a string, which is going to always be false. Instead compare it with Enum.KeyCode[value].

local value = "A"
if input.KeyCode == value then 
	print("doesn't work")
elseif input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode[value] then 
	print("works")
end
#12

idk how that works. like this? or did i do it wrong

	if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode[game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerScripts.KeyBinds.Sprint.KeyBind.Value] then

Its simple
you make a folder/data with the players custom set keybind

then you would make a varible called Floor1 = player.keybind.Floor.Value
local floorkey = Enum.KeyCode[Floor1]

hope this helps :slight_smile:
