What do you want to achieve? Keep it simple and clear!
i want to get the keybind from a button, then when that keybind is pressed make it increment a value upward or downward.
What is the issue? Include screenshots / videos if possible!
a bunch of errors and idk how to continue
What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?
i tried reading the errors but they make no sense, assistant also isn’t helping. No i didn’t look for solutions on the devforum
local gun = GetPartFromPort(0, "TriggerWire")
local turretx = GetPartFromPort(1, "Servo")
local turrety = GetPartFromPort(2, "Servo")
local button = GetPart("Button")
if button.Key == W then button.Click:Connect(function() clicked() end);
end
i didn’t know about the button.Click:Connect(function() clicked() end); btw, so i dont know how it works, i asked someone else and they told me just to use it
what
its just a button, the microcontroller grabs it and then if it detects a certain keybind it’ll do a certain thing
so if its keybind W it’ll do SetAngle(+1) and make the turret move upward vice versa with keybind S.
It is detecting when the button is pressed so
ok, i got told to use lua Button:GetComponent("KeyButton"):GetConfigurable("Key")
how do i make it so i can check key, cause lua if "Key" is isn’t working
local gun = GetPartFromPort(0, "TriggerWire")
local turretx = GetPartFromPort(1, "Servo")
local turrety = GetPartFromPort(2, "Servo")
local Button = GetPart("Button")
Button:GetComponent("KeyButton"):GetConfigurable("Key")
if "Key" == "W" then
turrety.SetAngle(turrety.Angle + 1)
end
if "Key" == "S" then
turrety.SetAngle(turrety.Angle - 1)
end
if "Key" == "D" then
turretx.SetAngle(turretx.Angle + 1)
end
if "Key" == "A" then
turretx.SetAngle(turretx.Angle - 1)
end
if "Key" == "F" then while true do
TriggerPort(0)
end
ok I got told to use a keyboard instead of buttons
local gun = GetPartFromPort(0, "TriggerWire")
local turretx = GetPartFromPort(1, "Servo")
local turrety = GetPartFromPort(2, "Servo")
local Keyboard = GetPart("Keyboard")
local goal = 0
if KeyPressed(42518419, "W" ) then
turrety:SetAngle(goal + 1)
end
if KeyPressed(42518419, "S" ) then
turrety:SetAngle(goal - 1)
end
if KeyPressed(42518419, "A" ) then
turretx:SetAngle(goal + 1)
end
if KeyPressed(42518419, "D" ) then
turretx:SetAngle(goal - 1)
end
if KeyPressed(42518419, "F" ) then
TriggerPort(0)
end
while true do
task.wait(1)
end
local gun = assert(GetPartFromPort(0, "Gun"), "no gun")
local turretx = assert(GetPartFromPort(1, "Servo"), "no turret x")
local turrety = assert(GetPartFromPort(2, "Servo"), "no turret y")
local keyboard = assert(GetPart("Keyboard"), "no keyboard")
local goal = 0
local goal1 = 0
local whitelist = {
[42518419] = true,
}
local BINDS = {
[Enum.KeyCode.W] = function()
print("W")
while Enum.KeyCode.W == true do
goal += 1
end
turrety:SetAngle(goal)
end,
[Enum.KeyCode.A] = function()
print("A")
while Enum.KeyCode.A == true do
goal1 += 1
end
turretx:SetAngle(goal1)
end,
[Enum.KeyCode.S] = function()
print("S")
while Enum.KeyCode.S == true do
goal -= 1
end
turrety:SetAngle(goal)
end,
[Enum.KeyCode.D] = function()
print("D")
while Enum.KeyCode.D == true do
goal1 -= 1
end
turretx:SetAngle(goal1)
end,
[Enum.KeyCode.F] = function()
TriggerPort(0)
end,
}
keyboard.KeyPressed:Connect(function(key, _, userId)
if not whitelist[42518419] then return end
local callback = BINDS[key]
if not callback then return end
callback()
print(goal)
print(goal1)
end)
ok apparently the solution is some overcomplicated piece of code.
this sucks, i really hate scripting and never wish that anyone goes through this garbage again.
these while true do loops don’t even loop, i asked why and i get some stupid “its a enum that’s being set to true” response as if that tells me why they’re not looping
woscord has a really awful community when it comes to asking microcontroller questions, but after a hour+ of arguing my problem is finally solved
