Problem with keybinds

[FrancoBritishAI (SomeRandomUser)]

Trying to make code for when you hold z, something happens. However when I press z I don’t get pass print 1. I don’t see any issues in the code, what am I doing wrong?

local uis = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()
uis.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gameprocessedevent)
	if gameprocessedevent then return end
print("1") 
	if input.KeyCode == script.Parent.Keybinds.ProvinceSelection.Value then
		print("2")
		local color 

	end
end)

Did you mean to type

if not gameprocessedevent then return end

I forgot the basics of InputBegan but I’m assuming that every time the event is fired gameprocessedevent has a value, so your guard condition would always stop the function everytime it fires

im ngl im a goofball so idk but ye

no it doesnt work when I do this

i jus found out gameprocessedevent is a boolean (in my case its usually false)

what about just removing the if statement?

because the input keycode isn’t equal to the string values I’m assuming your using. Try this code instead:

local uis = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()
uis.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gameprocessedevent)
	if gameprocessedevent then return end
print("1") 
	if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode[script.Parent.Keybinds.ProvinceSelection.Value] then
		print("2")
		local color 

	end
end)

ack, i interpreted ‘[past] print 1’ as they couldn’t even get to print 1

well if you want code when you hold z, not press it
you would use heartbeat to check if key is down

local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")

RunService.Heartbeat:Connect(function()
	if UserInputService:IsKeyDown(Enum.KeyCode.Z) then
		print(1)
	end
end)

That’s just loops when you don’t need loops, plus you’ll have to check when they let go or it will call it multiple times.

i misunderstood, they only want key pressed, not to constantly check if the keybind is held

1st: Any error in the console?
2nd: Running the game locally?
3rd: Does the script run at all, say if you were to put a print statement in the very beginning does it print?

I suggest commenting out the gameprocessable if statement till you get it to work
