im making a hotbar system and im not trying to make an if statement for every single input to correspond with the hotbar.

it says “index” but when the game starts it will show the numbers from 1-9

i dont want to make 9 different if statements to do this, is there a way i can do this efficiently? or do i have to make 9 different if statements?

local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")

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, [Enum.KeyCode.Seven] = 7, [Enum.KeyCode.Eight] = 8, [Enum.KeyCode.Nine] = 9, [Enum.KeyCode.Zero] = 10}

UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(Key, Processed)
	if Processed then
		return
	end

	local KeyCode = Enums[Key.KeyCode]
	if KeyCode then
		print(KeyCode.." pressed.")
	end
end)
