How to disable UserInputService while chatting, typing, etc

Alright, you probably know what is going on, but I was making a UIS script until I noticed that when I was typing, the script was activating. How would I disable it? Do you use an event? Do you use a function?

The second parameter to InputBegan is actually meant to help with this problem, usually called ‘gameprocess’, which checks if the input is in a gui object or not.

So if the player is in a gui, typing, gameprocess will be set to true, and if theyre not in a gui, typing, the variable will be set to false- and that’s when you want UserInputService to work.

So do it like this;

game:GetService("UserInputService").InputBegan:connect(function(inputObject, gameprocess)
    if (not gameprocess) then
         -- insert the if blocks here :)
    end
end)

Hope this helps,
Lego.

As a suggestion, you don’t need parantheses for your if statement. Instead of this:

if (not gameprocess) then
-- insert the if blocks here :)
end

You can do this:

if not gameprocess then
-- insert the if blocks here :)
end
