Keybinding help

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

In my new game Daylight Towers[BETA] I have been trying to implement a keybind to change a boolean, I have tried this and it doesn’t give me errors but it doesn’t work. I tried using the UIS service but it won’t work. How would I do this, I’m kinda stuck. :frowning:

#2

Do you mean like pressing a key it changes the boolean value or like pressing CTRL + F changes the boolean value?

#3

I want to press “q” and it changes a boolean

#4

You can use UserInputService

--Simple example

local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local Boolean = false
local KeyBind = "q" --change to whatever

UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(key) --function that fires when the localplayer presses a key
	if key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode[KeyBind] then --if they pressed q
       -- change the boolean value
		Boolean = true
		
	end
end)
#5

Can you show us the script so that we can help?

#6 
local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local lights = game.ReplicatedStorage.Lights

UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(input)
	if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Q then

			lights.Value = true

	end
end)
#7

Have you tried printing the input to see if it’s nil or unknown?

#8

What type of script are you using? Local or Server Sided?

#9

Server sided.
I tried debugging and it turns out its the entire UIS that’s not working

#10

So the part after

isn’t processing, or the function itself.

#11

UIS is only for client. It doesn’t work on server. Try firing a remote event for this.
