Keybinding A NumberValue

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

How do I make the keycode the value of a NumberValue/StringValue with this:

local value = script.Parent.numValue.Value

if key.KeyCode == ??? then
//other code
end)```
#2

Try this

local value = script.Parent.numValue.Value

if key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E then
//other code
end)
#3

I know how to keybind, that works

#4

Then can you elaborate the problem

#5

I want to set the KeyCode to a numbervalue

#6

Can I ask wat are you trying to make?

#7

Custom backpack UI. It all works except the keybinding

I believe tostring returns a string of the keycode.
For example, tostring(Enum.KeyCode.One) will return “One” (correct me if I’m wrong)
Besides that I’m not sure.

I want like the reverse of that tho

Oh ok I see. hmm I would use a table values. So like

local keybinds = {1 = Enum.KeyCode.One}
#11

You could also just name your GUI elements “One”, “Two”, etc.
There’s not really a way to get 1 from Enum.KeyCode.One besides actually setting the values like Ashp suggested

#12 
local keys = {
	1 = Enum.KeyCode.One,
	2 = Enum.KeyCode.Two,
	3 = Enum.KeyCode.Three,
	4 = Enum.KeyCode.Four,
	5 = Enum.KeyCode.Five,
	6 = Enum.KeyCode.Six,
	7 = Enum.KeyCode.Seven,
	8 = Enum.KeyCode.Eight,
	9 = Enum.KeyCode.Nine,
}

So i have this ^ and its saying, expected a name, got a complex expression

I think it’s supposed to be like this

local keys = {
    [1] = Enum.KeyCode.One,
}

Or alternatively:

local keys = {
    Enum.KeyCode.One,
    Enum.KeyCode.Two,
}

Since they’ll be sorted numerically by default

Try this out. It seem plausible

#15

You could try this:

local value = script.Parent.numValue.Value

if key.KeyCode = Enum.KeyCode[value] then

Tell me if I am wrong since I did not test this.

#16

There is a different way you could achieve this. You could use KeyCode.Key.Value. Each key has an associated number to it that is built in. Why reinvent the wheel with a table when it already exists.

If you’re looking to return real numbers, the option is simple. Subtract 48 from any of the values and that will return a TRUE integer number representative of the Keycode. When you’re ready to convert it back, just add 48 to it, run string.char and then use Enum.KeyCode[whatever you string.char’d].

Dunno if that makes any sense.

I tried this and didn’t seem to work
