UIS.InputBegan not Running

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

So I’m trying to make a piano script, but UIS.InputBegan doesn’t run when I press LeftShift + (2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0) but it runs if I press LeftShift + 1

Here’s my script.

UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(Input,GPE)
	print('inputbegan') -- Doesn't print when I press LeftShift + (2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0)
	
	if GPE then return end
	if Input.KeyCode.Value == 0 then return end
	
	local char
	
	pcall(function()
		char = string.char(Input.KeyCode.Value)
	end)

	if char and table.find(keyMap,char) then
		if UIS:IsKeyDown(Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift) or UIS:IsKeyDown(Enum.KeyCode.RightShift) then
			char = Module.ShiftChar(char)
		end
		
		print(keyMap[table.find(keyMap,char)])
	end
end)

Edit : I just remembered, Shift + P is the FreeCam, how can I disable this too?

#2

freecam is only in studio to disable it just delete the freecam script on startup

for the input is this a local script or server?

#3

This is a LocalScript inside StarterGui. It runs for every key except LeftShift + (2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0)

Edit : Also, where is the FreeCam script located?

#4

freecam is in playerscripts or playergui, i forget

does your function run when you just press shift

if this is the case i believe inputbegan only runs when pressing the first key, and wont run if a key is being held down. try researching ways of doing multiple key inputs (the freecam script does that with shift + p)

Yes, it runs when I press shift.

I guess I will have to make a function to get the current key pressed.

Sorry that I have to unmark your reply as a solution, but it still doesn’t detect LeftShift + (2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0). I tried to find different ways to get the key pressed but couldn’t find any sadly.

Here’s my new script though

function getKeys()
	return {
		Enum.KeyCode.One;
		Enum.KeyCode.Two;
		Enum.KeyCode.Three;
		Enum.KeyCode.Four;
		Enum.KeyCode.Five;
		Enum.KeyCode.Six;
		Enum.KeyCode.Seven;
		Enum.KeyCode.Eight;
		Enum.KeyCode.Nine;
		Enum.KeyCode.Zero;
		Enum.KeyCode.Q;
		Enum.KeyCode.W;
		Enum.KeyCode.E;
		Enum.KeyCode.R;
		Enum.KeyCode.T;
		Enum.KeyCode.Y;
		Enum.KeyCode.U;
		Enum.KeyCode.I;
		Enum.KeyCode.O;
		Enum.KeyCode.P;
		Enum.KeyCode.A;
		Enum.KeyCode.S;
		Enum.KeyCode.D;
		Enum.KeyCode.F;
		Enum.KeyCode.G;
		Enum.KeyCode.H;
		Enum.KeyCode.J;
		Enum.KeyCode.K;
		Enum.KeyCode.L;
		Enum.KeyCode.Z;
		Enum.KeyCode.X;
		Enum.KeyCode.C;
		Enum.KeyCode.V;
		Enum.KeyCode.B;
		Enum.KeyCode.N;
		Enum.KeyCode.M;
	}
end

function module.getKeyPressed()
	local key = ''
	
	for _, keycode in getKeys() do
		if UIS:IsKeyDown(keycode) then
			key = string.char(keycode.Value)
			if UIS:IsKeyDown(Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift) or UIS:IsKeyDown(Enum.KeyCode.RightShift) then
				key = module.stringUpper(key)
			end
			
			break
		end
	end
	
	return key
end

try looking at the freecam script to see what they do

Ok, I just got a piano model and I found this function.

function LetterToNote(key, shift, ctrl)
	local note = letterNoteMap:find(string.char(key), 1, true)
	if note then
		return note + Transposition.Value + (shift and 1 or ctrl and -1 or 0)
	end
end

I guess this can work.

Edit : Did you mean looking at the piano model script, or did you really mean the FreeCam script?
