TextButton Hotkey Activation

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

How do I make a TextButton be useable by a hotkey?

I have a TextButton that when clicked, stops the dance that the player is doing.

How can I make it so that when they click the letter Q on their keyboard, it works as though they are clicking it with there mouse, therefor stopping the animation.

It sounds as simple as it is. I just can’t figure out how to word it / find a proper, clear tutorial.

Instead of defining an anonymous function for each of your buttons, make it a seperate function and then call it seperately. There is no method for TextButton that fires all of it’s connections.
This is what I mean:

local function func()
    print("Hello");
end

TextButton.MouseButton1Click:Connect(func);
game:GetService("UserInputService").InputBegan:Connect(function(input)
    if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Q then func() end
end)
#3

That code doesn’t seem to do the trick.

(I put it inside the TextButton itself)

#4

Could you elaborate? How does it not do the trick?

#5

after adding a script with that code, Q does not activate the button

#6

local function func()
– what you want to happen
end

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(func)
game:GetService(“UserInputService”).InputBegan:Connect(function(input)
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Q then
func()
end
end)
