Code not working

[frank grove]

I have this code that should make the player no able to jump or press c or shift when his down but it's not working i asked chat GPT for help before coming here and its still not working im a beginner btw and need help

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local ContextActionService = game:GetService("ContextActionService")
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local player = Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character


local function disableKeys()
    local function Sink()
        return Enum.ContextActionResult.Sink
    end
    ContextActionService:BindActionAtPriority(
        "DisableKeys",
        Sink,
        false,
        Enum.ContextActionPriority.High.Value,
        Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift,
        Enum.KeyCode.RightShift,
        Enum.KeyCode.C
    )
end


local function enableKeys()
    ContextActionService:UnbindAction("DisableKeys")  
end

-- Function to check if the player is downed
local function isPlayerDowned(player)
    if character and character:FindFirstChild("IsDowned") then
        return character.IsDowned.Value
    end
    return false
end


local function updateKeyState()
    local humanoid = player.Character and player.Character:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")

    if humanoid then
        if isPlayerDowned(player) then
            
            disableKeys()
            humanoid.JumpHeight = 0  -- Disable jumping
        else
        
            enableKeys()
            humanoid.JumpHeight = 7.2 
        end
    end
end

its not the whole code

local function onCharacterAdded(character)
    local isDowned = character:WaitForChild("IsDowned")
    -- Update key bindings when "IsDowned" changes
    isDowned.Changed:Connect(function()
        updateKeyState()
    end)

    updateKeyState()

    -- Listen for jump changes
    local humanoid = character:WaitForChildOfClass("Humanoid")
    humanoid:GetPropertyChangedSignal("JumpHeight"):Connect(function()
        -- Prevent jumping while downed and restore after standing
        if isPlayerDowned(player) then
            humanoid.JumpHeight = 0 
        else
            humanoid.JumpHeight = 7.2 
        end
    end)

    
    if not isPlayerDowned(player) then
        humanoid.JumpHeight = 7.2
    end
end


player.CharacterAdded:Connect(onCharacterAdded)


if player.Character then
    onCharacterAdded(player.Character)
end

this the code

i cant send it on one time because i dont have discord nitr

Code not working

[formal mango]

ChatGPT is not that create at writing code with semi-complexity or higher. If there are no errors to this script in console I would assume that ContextActionService is being used wrongly, but I don't have experience with that service.

[frank grove]

the thing is

i made sure this thing works in other thing

[grave plover]

bro why using "if not" if u got an else

no sense

[formal mango]

He didn't write the code

[frank grove]

i didnt

write it

[wary remnant]

ok

tHen

delete the code

and write it

[frank grove]

i fixed what i know

from the code

like the disabling of the keys

[grave plover]

gpt is bad if u just tell him what to do

[frank grove]

because i did in another code

i know mostly what i do

i can assure u that

im a begginer but i understand most of begginer codes

[formal mango]

Instead of disabling the keys I would suggest writing a system that lets you become incapacitated when you have the down bool

[frank grove]

the thing is now halv of tthe code works

no

when im down

an animation plays

so u can move

but u cant jump and so on but if i made the player incapacitated he will not move at all right?

[grave plover]

bro if he can jump and walk what is the purpose of doing that code?

[frank grove]

no

[formal mango]

If you made your own system you could make the downed state whatever you want

[frank grove]

u dont understand

[formal mango]

You should learn how to make statemachines

[frank grove]

when his down

he cant jump or press shift or c

and when he stands up

[grave plover]

for jumping its simple

[frank grove]

he still cant do that

thats the problem

that even if he stands up its still not working

but when he is down thats working

[formal mango]

I have no idea what you're saying and thus I don't understand the problem.

[grave plover]

ye

can u explain with more details

[frank grove]

ok i will explain last time if u have time for me

[grave plover]

plz

[frank grove]

so

when the player gets downed he cant jump or press shift and c and that works

but even when the player stands up he still cant jump and press shift and c and i wanna fix that and make him able to jump and press shift and c when he stands up

[grave plover]

just make an frame event

to verify that

[frank grove]

can u explain more

if u have time

[grave plover]

so in ur script u got verifications right? (ifs)

[frank grove]

yu

p

[grave plover]

you know what are frame events or not

[frank grove]

no

if its complicated send me a video

[grave plover]

game:GetService("Run Service") ?

[frank grove]

oh yeah

i know it not by name

[grave plover]

thats a frame event

[frank grove]

ok

got it

[grave plover]

so you do the event and u put all verifications on it

[formal mango]

his changed event should work properly

maybe his enablekeys function doesn't work

[grave plover]

yeah thats possible

[frank grove]

so u wanna use heartbeat or something to check if the player still has the bool value?

[formal mango]

frame events are unncessary

[grave plover]

u can use changed too

[formal mango]

You want to keep performance in mind this is a problem that's easily used without frame events

[frank grove]

because i have another code taht should destroy the bool value

after some time

[grave plover]

bool.Changed:Connect(function() end)

[formal mango]

ok

if it's destroyed then it wont use changed event

instead of useing a changed event

use a

ChildAdded event

on your character

and check if the character has the isdowned bool value

in that event

or actually

just do something like

character.ChildAdded:Connect(function()
updateKeyState()
end)

[frank grove]

k i will try it then

but tommorow

and i will put some prints if its still not working for any reason

thank u for ur time both

😄
