I’m trying to set up customizable keybindings for my game, and they work properly IF the custom keybind is a letter, but if it’s something like LeftAlt or LeftShift then for some reason, the GetStringForKeyCode() method doesn’t return a string for those.
Here’s the function I’m using for keybindings. It works properly except for what I mentioned above:
function InputController.onInputBegan(input, gameProcessed)
if gameProcessed then return end
if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.Keyboard then
local inputKeyCodeString = userInputService:GetStringForKeyCode(input.KeyCode)
print(inputKeyCodeString, cameraLockKeyCode.Value)
if inputKeyCodeString == cameraLockKeyCode.Value then
cameraLockEvent:Fire()
elseif inputKeyCodeString == targetLockKeyCode.Value then
targetLockEvent:Fire()
end
elseif input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 then
primaryAttackEvent:Fire()
end
end
The print() you can see prints out letters just fine when they are pressed for inputKeyCodeString, but when LeftAlt or LeftShift is pressed, it prints an empty string for that value. It prints cameraLockKeyCode.Value out properly as LeftAlt, so I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. Again, the events under the if checks fire properly if the custom keybinding is set to a letter like Q.
