UserInputService is not working

So with my code nothing gets printed to output, it is in a local script as well.

local crate = game.Workspace.Items["Supply Crate"]
local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local inventory = game.StarterGui.SupplyInv
local plrinv = game.StarterGui.Inventory
local isOpened = false
local Character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()


-- Build a "RaycastParams" object and cast the ray
local Range = 100
local ray = Ray.new(Character.Head.Position, Character.Head.CFrame.LookVector * Range)
local hit = game.WorkSpace.Items:FindPartOnRay(ray)


local function IsEKeyDown()
	if UIS:IsKeyDown(Enum.KeyCode.E) then
		return true
	end
end

UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(input)
	while true do
		if IsEKeyDown() then
			print("E has been pressed!")
			local part = hit.Parent
			if hit and part == crate then  
				print("Found Crate")
				inventory.Enabled = true
				plrinv.Enabled = true
				isOpened = true        
			end
		end
	end 
end)

you forgot to use this parameter.

if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E then

you don’t need while true do it would lag your game and not needed. Replace with the above code

You can simply rewrite it to

UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(input)
	if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E then
		print("E has been pressed!")
		local part = hit.Parent
		if hit and part == crate then  
			print("Found Crate")
			inventory.Enabled = true
			plrinv.Enabled = true
			isOpened = true        
		end
	end
end)

Thank you, Now i am getting this: FindPartOnRay is not a valid member of Folder “Workspace.Item”

On line: local hit = game.Workspace.Items:FindPartOnRay(ray)

#5

What’s the problem with the script you can show me?

#6

When the game loads i get this error FindPartOnRay is not a valid member of Folder "Workspace.Items"

On this line local hit = game.Workspace.Items:FindPartOnRay(ray)

#7

What your script is exactly trying to do?

#8

is hit a table of items hit by ray? or is it just one part that the ray will hit?
If you just want one part then it’s better of using workspace:RayCast()

#9

So when you press ‘E’ and if you are looking at a specific part (the supply crate) then it will do stuff

#10

I’m not too good with ray casting i got some of it from a yt video so I don’t really know how i can implement that into my code

#11

you should look at the api reference
https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/function/WorldRoot/Raycast

#12

Instead of using FindPartOnRay you can check if the TextLabel is text is the crate name then you can purchase that crate.

#13

FindPartOnRay() is an instance method of the workspace, it should be called on the workspace instance itself, i.e;

local hitPart, hitPosition, hitNormal, hitMaterial = workspace:FindPartOnRay(ray)
