How would I make my custom hotbar have numbered keybinds?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

So, I have my custom hotbar (I know it looks like garbage, I’m not working on the looks quite yet) and I want it so when I press 1, it equips the first item, and when I press 2, the second item, etc.

Here is the hotbar (Look great, right?):

I have tried this in the past but I have not succeeded. I really need this as in the game I’m making, you are forced into shiftlock.

I’ve tried to search for solutions, but I haven’t found any and I really need help here.

Right now this is my script (it probably sucks but I just wanna have numbered keybinds-)

Help would really be appreciated here and thanks in advance!

what i would do is store a string value in the slot frame or something to know what tool it has if you dont already, and set the slots name to its number, so you can use a function like this to easily find it

by checking the input keycode with userInputService and turning that into a number if its in the table. srry if im confusing, goodluck!

local function HotbarInput(input,MenuInput) 
 
    if MenuInput then
        return
    end

	local Enums = {[Enum.KeyCode.One] = 1, [Enum.KeyCode.Two] = 2, [Enum.KeyCode.Three] = 3, [Enum.KeyCode.Four] = 4, [Enum.KeyCode.Five] = 5, [Enum.KeyCode.Six] = 6}
	local KeyCode = Enums[input.KeyCode]

	if KeyCode then -- check if input keycode has its own slot number in the table
		
		local slotFrame = parentofSlots[tostring(KeyCode)] -- find a slot frame named the number "1"  or whatever number the keycode has in the table
		-- code for equiping it here (remote event ask server maybe)
	end

end

UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(HotbarInput)


--[[
      or u could reference the slot directly if u dont wanna do it the other way
	local KeycodeSlots = {[Enum.KeyCode.One] = slotFrameObjectHere}
      if KeycodeSlots[input.keycode] then
            local slotTriggeredFrame = KeycodeSlots[input.keycode]
      end
]]


--server code, might not work

ARemoteEvent.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(Player, ToolEquipping) --name of tool

	if player.Character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Tool") then
		local currentEquip = player.Character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Tool")

		if currentEquip.Name ~= ToolEquipping then -- so u can swap tools instead of unequipping current one to switch

			if player.Backpack:FindFirstChild(ToolEquipping) then
				player.Backpack:FindFirstChild(ToolEquipping).Parent = player.Character
			end

		end
		currentEquip.Parent = player.Backpack

		--move anything equipped to backpack
	else

		if player.Backpack:FindFirstChild(ToolEquipping) then
			--move tool equipping to player.character

player.Backpack:FindFirstChild(ToolEquipping).Parent = player.Character
		
		end
	end
end)

This does sort of help so I’ll go ahead and mark it as a solution.
