How in the world do I do keybinds?

I’m no scripter. I’m trying to make a FNAF style game, and I have most of the things figured out. But… I can’t figure out how to make it so when you click a keybind, the door closes or opens, or the camera opens. I want W for the front door, D for the right, A for the left, and S to open the camera. All the mouse-clicking works, but I cannot implement a keybind system on top of that for some reason. Any ideas?

Just use UserInpurService? It’ll work.

local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")

UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gameProcessedEvent)
    if not gameProcessedEvent then
        if input.KeyCode = Enum.KeyCode.insertkeycodehere then
            -- code
        end
    end
end)

No problem! I edited my original script so that it wouldn’t run while a player is chatting.

Huh! that didn’t work. that genuinely was unexpected. I think it may be my code. Here it is.

db = false
door = false
local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")

UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gameProcessedEvent)
if not gameProcessedEvent then
	if input.KeyCode = Enum.KeyCode.D then
	if not db then 
	db = true
	if not door then door = true
		script.Parent.Door.Sound:play()
		for i=0,15 do
			script.Parent.Door.CFrame = script.Parent.Door.CFrame - Vector3.new(0,0.8,0)
			wait()
		end
		script.Parent.Door.CFrame = script.Parent.Door.CFrame - Vector3.new(0,0.2,0)
		db = false
	elseif door then door = false
		script.Parent.Door.Sound:play()
		for i=0,15 do
			script.Parent.Door.CFrame = script.Parent.Door.CFrame + Vector3.new(0,0.8,0)
			wait()
		end
		script.Parent.Door.CFrame = script.Parent.Door.CFrame + Vector3.new(0,0.2,0)
	end
	db = false
end

end)

Try adding a print after if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.D to make sure that it is detecting your input

#8

It isn’t detecting it. It says that the = sign in “if input.KeyCode = Enum.KeyCode.D then” is wrong, at least it is underlined in red.

#9

You need to use two equals signs to check for equality

#10

This also needs to be in a local script.

#11

Where should I put it exactly?

#12

You should use TweenService for moving the door like this.

Oh the door script works fine, at least with clicking a button. The only problem is implementing a keybind on top of that.

#14

Have you used any print statements to check if it is detecting your input? Just add print(“D key pressed”) and tell me if anything prints.

#15

It works, but it isn’t necessarily performance efficient or a good coding habit. TweenService will smoothly move the part from one position to the other without having 15 separate tiny movements.

Nah I tried that already. Nothing printed.

#17

Also, the reason why this code doesn’t work is because you can’t have a server script listening for userinput or a local script moving parts! You need to create a remoteevent which tells the server the key press of the user from a local script.

  1. Is this a local script?
  2. Are there any errors?
#19

Yes it is in a local script. It’s a sibling of the door it is moving. Would that be ok?

Could you please give your code again?

Edit: yes that is fine
