Help with modifying an open sourced module

hi. so i’m trying to modify this open sourced handto utility system made by @7kayoh but its made so that you have to script in some way for it to be toggled. i’m not a very experienced scripter, and this is quite advanced code for me. if someone could help me understand what to add and how i should add it, that would be amazing. heres the code for the toggle thingy

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Common = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Common")
local Modules = {}
local _UI
local Bindable = Instance.new("BindableFunction")

local function Invoke(Type)
	if _UI then
		if Type == "Toggle" then
			_UI.Properties.Toggled = not _UI.Properties.Toggled
			_UI:Deploy()
		end
	end
end

local function Init()
	local Container = Instance.new("ScreenGui")
	_UI = Modules.Cook.new(Container)
	Container.ZIndexBehavior = Enum.ZIndexBehavior.Sibling
	Bindable.Parent = script
	Container.Parent = Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui
	
	Bindable.OnInvoke = Invoke
	
	_UI:Deploy()
end

for _, v in pairs(Common:GetChildren()) do
	if v:IsA("ModuleScript") then
		Modules[v.Name] = require(v)
	end
end

Init()

tysm, help is greatly appreciated :revolving_hearts:

In what way are you trying to modify the script?

Reading the post for the module, it appears that:

  1. It needs to be installed through Rojo
  2. There is just a setting change to enable keyboard interaction with the UI?

Are either of these related to what you are trying to achieve?

Can you please send the code located at server.UI.App.client.lua? Ill try modifying it to add the toggling thing.

What keybind would you want?

Hi! I really appreciate your help, thank you. The only script I see relating to this is Hander > UI > App but no client.lua. If the script your looking for is the UI app script where the toggle is, I added it to the original post.

I think something like this might work. It’s untested, but I feel like it should be correct

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local Common = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Common")
local Modules = {}
local _UI
local Bindable = Instance.new("BindableFunction")
local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")

local function Invoke(Type)
	if _UI then
		if Type == "Toggle" then
			_UI.Properties.Toggled = not _UI.Properties.Toggled
			_UI:Deploy()
		end
	end
end

local function Init()
	local Container = Instance.new("ScreenGui")
	_UI = Modules.Cook.new(Container)
	Container.ZIndexBehavior = Enum.ZIndexBehavior.Sibling
	Bindable.Parent = script
	Container.Parent = Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui

	Bindable.OnInvoke = Invoke

	_UI:Deploy()
end

for _, v in pairs(Common:GetChildren()) do
	if v:IsA("ModuleScript") then
		Modules[v.Name] = require(v)
	end
end

UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(input: InputObject, gameProcessedEvent: boolean)
	if not gameProcessedEvent and input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.P then -- Change Enum.KeyCode.P to whichever keycode you want
		Invoke("Toggle")
	end
end)

Init()

it wouldn’t really make sense to use that. i’m not sure if your familiar with cafe games but its basically a hand-to gui
