UserInputService InputBegan isn't working

I have a LocalScript in StarterCharacterScripts that’s supposed to change the character’s state when clicked, but for some reason when I click, nothing happens at all & there are no errors. I’ve searched for like 2 hours and can’t find anything about this, thank you.

Code:

--// Variables

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = script.Parent
local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local Root = Character:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")
local uis = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local physics = false

Humanoid.HipHeight = -0.5

--// Event

uis.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gameProcessedEvent)
	
	if gameProcessedEvent then return end
	
	if input == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 then
		
		if physics == false then
			physics = true
			Humanoid:ChangeState(Enum.HumanoidStateType.Physics)
		else
			physics = false
			Humanoid:ChangeState(Enum.HumanoidStateType.GettingUp)
		end
	end
	
end)

Your script contained:
if input == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 then

The change was:
if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 then

The key thing to remember for any use of UserInputService’s InputObject is to check the UserInputType because that will verify if your type of input matches, such as a keyboard or mouse.

There’s a lot more to digest about UserInputService, but you should be okay with just that.

Try this instead. It actually checks if you’re typing in chat or in any other text box.

if UIS:GetFocusedTextBox() then return end

Also if you’re trying to use the mouse, you can just use player:GetMouse() and use the Button1Down event.

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()

mouse.Button1Down:Connect(print)

Also also, unless if your local script runs every time the player respawns, this cannot run if the player dies, so just check that.

I’m not sure how or why this works but it did, I read over yours and mine and the only difference I could notice was that an empty line was removed, I’m soo confused but thanks!

This also helped me understand a bit more about the player:GetMouse() system. Thanks.

My bad, I was in a hurry when I wrote my solution. I can explain a bit more about what changed.
