how do i turn this into a keybind

[buoyant sorrel]

local cd = 1

script.Parent.Activated:Connect(function()
if db == false then
db = true
script.Event:FireServer()
wait(.1)
wait(cd)
db = false
end
end)
into a keybind

[oak hill]

Use userinputservice

Ngl I forget the exact syntax so look at the docs

But userinputservice is the way to go

👍

[fallen ermine]

whats a syntax?

the parameter?

[oak hill]

The syntax is the way or writing it

[rotund willow]

user userinputservice.OnKeyPressed:Connect()

and then you can get the key, compare enum.key to the enum.key.yourkeybind

[oak hill]

Yea

[rotund willow]

at least thats what i think from memory

lol

[oak hill]

Yea my memory is bad for userinputservice

Did you figure it out?

[buoyant sorrel]

are u able to type this for me rq

i dont know what u mean, i just started coiding'

Coding

[fallen ermine]

nobody writes script here

[oak hill]

Yea

[fallen ermine]

we just fix scripts

[buoyant sorrel]

oh

i just dont know what he means by

[fallen ermine]

u should learn it

[buoyant sorrel]

i am

i just dind tknow how

[fallen ermine]

watch some videos about userinputservice

[buoyant sorrel]

i tried many ways

[oak hill]

Read documentation

[fallen ermine]

wdym u dont know how

[buoyant sorrel]

like

i tried many ways and i failed

[fallen ermine]

show me your ways

[uncut terrace]

** You are now Level 21! **

[fallen ermine]

i'll tell u whats wrong

[buoyant sorrel]

okay well

i did this

if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Z then
script.Event:FireServer()
if db == false then
db = true
wait(.1)
wait(cd)
db = false
end
end)

the red lines arent telling me anything'

[uncut terrace]

** You are now Level 1! **

[oak hill]

Yea but it's gotta be in userinputservice

The key pressed event of it

[buoyant sorrel]

so would i put this in it or before it

user userinputservice.OnKeyPressed:Connect()

?

[oak hill]

Yea

[buoyant sorrel]

what did u delete

[oak hill]

In

But look at the parameters it takes

[buoyant sorrel]

how could i put it in

[buoyant sorrel]

parameters

[bronze seal]

wait did you give the script to know what the input is

[buoyant sorrel]

i gave the script cuz i wanna make it so it activates when the key is pressed while the tool is equipped

but im not working it out

[fallen ermine]

always start with

UserInputService.Inputbegan

[rotund willow]

you need to decalre uis

[buoyant sorrel]

so like this? UserInputService.Inputbegan.OnKeyPressed:Connect()
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Z then
script.Event:FireServer()
if db == false then
db = true
wait(.1)
wait(cd)
db = false
end
end)

[bronze seal]

character:Findfirstchild("TOOLNAME")? it will say when the tool is equipped because it connectes to the characters right @fallen ermine or am i wrong

[buoyant sorrel]

where would i put that

this is so confusing, watching tutorials and shi and still aint getting nothing

[fallen ermine]

After Userinputservice, there can only be an event

not "events"

[buoyant sorrel]

oh

[fallen ermine]

It's the same for every service i think

you can only define 1 event

[buoyant sorrel]

well

im trying to do everything and it still doesnt work

im so confused

cuz right now

when the tool is clicked

it works

but i wanna turn that into a keybind

[rotund willow]

can you show your FULL code

??

i feel like you skipped some things

[buoyant sorrel]

local db = false
local cd = 1

script.Parent.Activated:Connect(function()
if db == false then
db = true
script.Event:FireServer()
wait(.1)
wait(cd)
db = false
end
end)

this is the full script when clicked

but im tryna turn into when KEY is clicked, it activates the rest

thats what im having trouble with

[fallen ermine]

https://create.roblox.com/docs/reference/engine/classes/UserInputService

[buoyant sorrel]

where would i find this for tools?

[rotund willow]

why are you so focused on tools? you just need a check to see if the tool is active

[uncut terrace]

** You are now Level 2! **

[rotund willow]

tool.activated -> turns a variable true
tool.deactivated -> turns the variable false

pressing the key -> check if the variable is true, then run it

you need to do UIS, its ANY user keyboard input

[buoyant sorrel]

its because im tryna make a one piece blox fruit type system

like

when press Z this skill used

[rotund willow]

oh ok

[warped epoch]

look bruh not trying to demotivate you but if you can't even handle userinputservice to capture a keypress, you sure as heck aint making no bloxfruit clone, far less even a generic battlegrounds game. yes i know how badly everyone wants one of their own, but it aint happening. sorry. you need to get better at coding first. don't start with your dream game. start with something simpler.

[warped epoch]

like for example, since you just started coding, make a jumping simulator, or a button simulator, or a dropper tycoon. all of these things will give you the start you need to eventually (years from now) have the skills to make a battlegrounds game
