UserInputService Problems

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hey. My name is DivScripts.

I was trying to make a spell system.

Now, I created a LocalScript with this script in it:

game:GetService("UserInputService").InputBegan:Connect(function(input,progress)
	if progress == false or nil then
		print(input)
		game.ReplicatedStorage.SpellRemoteEvents.KeyBindSpell:FireServer(input,game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse(),game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse().Target)
	end
end)

In the LocalScript it prints the input which is InputObject. After I connected from the ServerScript to the KeyBindSpell : Remote Event it prints the nil:

game.ReplicatedStorage.SpellRemoteEvents.KeyBindSpell.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(player,input,mouse,mousetarget)
	print(input)

Anyone who knows how to fix this?

/

Problem 2:

After the problem up got fixed, is there any way to use like string in a code?

For example:

if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode["STRING"]

Is there any way to make it like this? Or like how to convert a string into code.

Best Regards,
DivScripts

You need to check which button player is pressing from the client and then fire the remote, like this.

local key = "E" -- button

game:GetService("UserInputService").InputBegan:Connect(function(input,typing)
	if typing == true then
		return
	end

	if input.InputBegan == Enum.KeyCode[key] then
		game.ReplicatedStorage.SpellRemoteEvents.KeyBindSpell:FireServer(game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse(),game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse().Target)
	end
end)

But I don’t want to check this in LocalScript. Because, when I put the table in LocalScript too, exploiter will getting acess on it…

You can’t check which button player is pressing on server-side anyway.

#6

You should do a sanity check.

I- I haven’t really understand this sanity check. >This gives the exploiter still acess to my script when I put the table in it.

#8

What script? wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Nvm. I made it now so, I created a table with just the all the letters in the LocalScript. Then I check after a button got pressed if the button in the table is and if yes, fire it to the Server Script.

#10 
local key = "E" -- button

game:GetService("UserInputService").InputBegan:Connect(function(input,typing)
	if typing == true then
		return
	end

	if input.InputBegan == Enum.KeyCode[key] then
		game.ReplicatedStorage.SpellRemoteEvents.KeyBindSpell:FireServer(game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse(),game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse().Target)
	end
end)

You mean this? from what I see is just check if player is pressing the right key or not and then fire the remote.

If your script isn’t in StarterPlayerScripts, it won’t work. UserInputService works in StarterPlayerScripts and in a local script only.
