Is this just my keyboard or a scripting error?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

so, i was making a M1 system and a ran into a weird… thing.
so, on the fourth M1, if you user is holding down the “R” key, then it will perform a special attack. however, i cant M1, as in it wont respond unless i use an auto clicker, if the “r” key is down.

if UIS:IsKeyDown(Enum.KeyCode.R) and combo == 4 then

so, is it just my keyboard? or is there a better way to do this??? i guess my question is why am i not able to M1 when the “R” key is being held down?

Can you send the full script? char limit

#3

i dont want it do get copied so i wont send the whole thing, just the parts you need to see

UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, istyping)
	if istyping then return end
		if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 and tick() - LastTick > 0.3 and tick() - LastComboTick > 1.5 then
			if tick() - LastTick > 1 then
				combo = 1
			end

and

local animation = Instance.new("Animation")
			if UIS:IsKeyDown(Enum.KeyCode.R) and combo == 4 then
				animation.AnimationId = specialanims[1]
				print("special")
			else
				animation.AnimationId = animTable[combo]
			end

i dont think there’s anything else you need to see really, but if there is, let me know.

hello? (max charrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr)

#5

Right before checking if UIS:IsKeyDown(Enum.KeyCode.R), try printing UserInputService:GetKeysPressed(), as that should show every key that the player is pressing at that moment in time.

*Or is the issue that it’s not reaching that part of the function because the UserInputType condition wasn’t met in the first example codeblock you posted?

#6

the userinputtype will not respond if it is mousebutton1 and another key is being held down. i believe keys will override the mousebutton1. for example, it wont work if im walking. i want it to be able to still function even if other keys are being pressed at that moment in time.

Hmmm, I’m not super sure what could be causing that to happen unless there are other conditions inbetween the code that you included that could be preventing it from reaching the :IsKeyDown() check *(or maybe combo is not equal to 4? Try printing out the value of that before it reaches that condition).

I tested the following LocalScript code and it would print both “1” and “2” any time I was holding down the designated key on my keyboard and then pressed the left mouse button (even if I was also holding down any of the Character movement keys at the same time):

local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")

UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input)
	print(input.UserInputType)
	if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 then
		print(1)
		
		if UserInputService:IsKeyDown(Enum.KeyCode.R) then
			warn(2)
		end
	end
end)

this is the entire local script. (it will not work without the other script so nobody copy

local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")

local LastTick = 0
local LastComboTick = 0
local combo = 1
local remote = game.ReplicatedStorage.CombatEvent

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character
local humanoid = character.Humanoid
local HRP = character.HumanoidRootPart
local prevws = humanoid.WalkSpeed
local jumpheight = humanoid.JumpPower

UIS.InputEnded:Connect(function(input, istyping)
	if istyping then return end
		if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 and tick() - LastTick > 0.5 and tick() - LastComboTick > 1.5 then
			if tick() - LastTick > 1 then
				combo = 1
			end
			
		print(combo)
		
		LastTick = tick()
		
		local animTable = {
			'rbxassetid://17512020910', --1
			'rbxassetid://17512109222', --2
			'rbxassetid://17501744565', --3
			'rbxassetid://17501745910' -- 4
		}
		
		local specialanims = {
			'rbxassetid://17511646613',
			2
		}
		
		--playerdata
		local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
		local character = player.Character
		local humanoid = character.Humanoid
		local HRP = character.HumanoidRootPart
		
		--varient settings
		
		--animation settings
		local animation = Instance.new("Animation")
			if UIS:IsKeyDown("Space") and combo == 4 then
				animation.AnimationId = specialanims[1]
			else
				animation.AnimationId = animTable[combo]
			end
			
		local animator = humanoid:LoadAnimation(animation)
		animator:Play()
		
		remote:FireServer(player, prevws, jumpheight)
		
		--combo settings
		if combo == #animTable then
			LastComboTick = tick()
			combo = 1
			LastTick = tick()
		else
			combo += 1
		end
		
	
		
		--slowing handler
		humanoid.WalkSpeed = 0
		humanoid.JumpPower = 0
		wait(0.25)
		humanoid.WalkSpeed = prevws
		humanoid.JumpPower = jumpheight
	end
end)

nothing preventing, the entire script works perfectly, besides the scrambled input.

so whats causing this/how can i fix this?

#11

Unfortunately, I can’t know for sure if the code would be causing that issue because I haven’t been able to replicate that behavior when testing a similar setup while using my own keyboard.


With my testing, no matter if the LocalScript is listening for InputBegan or InputEnded, it’s been able to detect if the function was activated by an input type of Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1, and if so, it was also able to check if the KeyCode defined in UserInputService:IsKeyDown() was actually being pressed down at the same time.

i will say when i used an autoclicker it worked… so my keyboard is just trash?

#13
