Why wont’ this Keycode script work?

local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")

UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input)
	if input.Keycode == Enum.KeyCode.W then
		print("YAY")
	end
end)
#2

You misspelled Keycode, Its KeyCode

(Lua gotta be like that for some reason)

since he wrote KeyCode wrong, well, apart from that, whatever he does, don’t use “W” as a key letter if you want to know how to know if the character runs, use more or less run service or the Humanoid of the character but don’t use W

It still won’t print the message for some reason:

local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")

UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input)
	if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E then
		print('Cool')
	end
end)

Questions:

  • Is it a LocalScript?

  • Where is it Located?

  • Is there code yielding above this code?

#6

It’s a regular script, and it’s in the workspace.

#7

Its Supposed to be within StarterPlayerScripts just so you know.

#8

Oh my gosh thank you so much, but how can I make it so it works in a regular script in a model?

#9

I don’t think you are able to, There might be a way but i’m not aware of it, Its better to handle this kind of stuff on the Client as it is much easier.

#10

Please explain exactly what are you trying to do.

Is it in a Part so you can only press the key there?

Is it something similar to a ProximityPrompt in the ProximetyPromptService?
There’s a tutorial for that as well.
Is it to control something?

The more information we have the better chance someone will know exactly how to help you out.

I was trying to make a helicopter that was controlled by the keys, which would change the body’s velocity.

#12

So use a VehicleSeat to get the WASD key inputs. Simple and easy since that’s what it’s designed for.
