Why isn't my script working?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

Hello, so I have a script that is meant to press a button to do a function. But for some reason, it isn’t working. and as soon as I playtest the game, in the output, it prints “fail”, can anyone tell me why this isn’t working?

`

local userInput = game:GetService("UserInputService")

userInput.InputBegan:Connect(function(input,gameProcessed)
	if gameProcessed then -- Prevents this from running when typing in chat
		if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E then
			print("success")
		else
			print("fail")
		end
	end
end)

`

Im pretty sure they would press E if they made this script to work for E

Yes, which does nothing currently. Also, as soon as I playtest the game, it just prints “fail”

Is this in a client script? LocalScript?

This script is in the current state of a local script in the StarterGui.

Were you holding a button before entering your game?

Try doing this instead…

local userInput = game:GetService("UserInputService")

userInput.InputBegan:Connect(function(input,gameProcessed)
	if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E and gameProcessed then
		print("success")
	else
		print("fail")
	end
end)

When I press any key, it now prints “fail”, which is a step-up from before. but also pressing ‘E’ makes it print “fail”. hmm

#14

Oh, I believe game processed stops it from occuring when the player types “E” while in chat though

#15

Never mind, it still prints fail no matter what

GameProcessed is a Boolean parameter indicating if or not the game handled (processed) the input.
