Problem with user input service

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I am using input service for ‘tab’ and it won’t work why?

here’s my code:

userInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gameProccessedEvent)
	if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Tab and not gameProccessedEvent and beingInspected then
		print("Tab")
	end
end)

Is it because the roblox context action service binded in the core GUI for leaderboard etc?

#2

What is the beingInspected variable set to??
And can you just do
print(input.KeyCode) before the if statement?

#3

It seems its the gameProccessedEvent is what messes it up and its probably because the core Gui context binded tab button.

P.S. I tried changing it to and gameProccessedEvent and and not gameProccessedEvent still doesn’t work both times.

Also it seems and added and statements seem to throw it off I tried having just the and beingInspected and it doesnt work with that and I know the beingInspected value works because I have it printing its value every 1 seconds.

#4

Um, that’s not what that means. It means that it’s another variables problem… Because gameProcessedEvent (if they’re chatting) is just a simple bool variable. Now, what is the beingInspected variable set to. Because that is the most likely issue, and as I said. For debug, please put the print in, so it shows.

I understand that but the gameProccessedEvent is whats messing it up. This doesnt work

if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Tab and beingInspected and not gameProccessedEvent then
	print("Tab")
end

this does work

if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Tab and beingInspected then
	print("Tab")
end

the isBeingInspected is a value I set to true in another function when the e key is pressed and it works but it stops working when I add the gameProccessedEvent and I dont know why since I use it for other ```userInput```` statements

Okay, my bad, it’s the gameProcessedEvent, you’re right. I’m going to assume it’s your answer that it’s a specific gameEvent meaning that it wants the UIS to ignore the action. I tested it with this code:

game:GetService("UserInputService").InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gameProccessedEvent)
	print(input.KeyCode)
	if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Tab and not gameProccessedEvent then
		print("Tab")
	end
end)

Heres my full code

userInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gameProccessedEvent)
	if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E and not gameProccessedEvent and not beingInspected then
		check_inspect()
	end
	
	if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Tab and beingInspected then
		print("Tab")
	end
	
	if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Space and beingInspected then
		print("space")
	end
end)

see the first if input statement works. Then the check_inspect() will set the beingInspected to true

but I don’t think context action service should mess with gameProccessedEvent but I’m not sure.

#8

Adding on, removing the gameProccessedEvent if statement part makes it so it prints tab, So I made a stupid mistake. : |

#9

gameProcessedEvent refers to when a user interface was interacted - and with tab, this occurs (returns true) as you’re binding with the player leaderboard.

#10

see heres what weird if I press tab and I have the print(input.KeyCode) in there it will print Enum.KeyCode.Tab but it wont run print("Tab")

#11

see this is what I thought but I dont know how to unbind it I will eventually just set the coregui to false but I wanna unbind this how can I do this I found the script that binds the leaderboard what do I do with it?

#12

Technically I fixed it I just set the starterGui:SetCoreGui all to false

#13

That’s right, I thought you could unbind it with ContextActionService, but due to security reasons, that’s not allowed. Setting the list’s core to false would do it.
