(everything im tryna do now is purely cosmetic)

lusty quarry Jul 22, 2025, 9:54 AM

#

I think you need to put “”

#

on the words that is red

fallow scroll Jul 22, 2025, 9:54 AM

#

why exactly

#

just asking

lusty quarry Jul 22, 2025, 9:55 AM

#

that’s how it works

fallow scroll Jul 22, 2025, 9:55 AM

#

great explanation

#

they turn into strings

lusty quarry Jul 22, 2025, 9:56 AM

#

wait

#

yes put “ and “

#

I think

dreamy arch Jul 22, 2025, 9:56 AM

#

"message" is a string

#

message is a variable named message

fallow scroll Jul 22, 2025, 9:57 AM

#

what

lusty quarry Jul 22, 2025, 9:57 AM

#

Put “Players”

#

Instead of just Players

dreamy arch Jul 22, 2025, 9:57 AM

#

fallow scroll (everything im tryna do now is purely cosmetic)

you see how it's red

#

red text

#

red squiggly underline

#

fallow scroll Jul 22, 2025, 9:57 AM

#

ooooh

#

I thought you meant the text that was already red

#

like the whole thing

lusty quarry Jul 22, 2025, 9:58 AM

#

uh

#

the text that is red inside of the ()

#

put “

fallow scroll Jul 22, 2025, 9:58 AM

#

fallow scroll (everything im tryna do now is purely cosmetic)

well your function is named onInputStarted

fallow scroll Jul 22, 2025, 10:00 AM

#

lusty quarry Jul 22, 2025, 10:00 AM

#

is onInputEnded a thing

fallow scroll Jul 22, 2025, 10:00 AM

#

this is what it looks like now btw

dreamy arch Jul 22, 2025, 10:00 AM

#

and you're trying to connect a callback named onInputEnded to the event UserInputService.InputEnded

#

oh you fixed that

lusty quarry Jul 22, 2025, 10:00 AM

#

It should probably work

fallow scroll Jul 22, 2025, 10:00 AM

#

dreamy arch oh you fixed that

#1397154641049030728 message

#

is oninputstarted even a real thing

dreamy arch Jul 22, 2025, 10:01 AM

#

so this is a local script?

fallow scroll Jul 22, 2025, 10:01 AM

#

yes

dreamy arch Jul 22, 2025, 10:01 AM

#

there's InputBegan

dreamy arch Jul 22, 2025, 10:01 AM

#

fallow scroll yes

and where is it?

fallow scroll Jul 22, 2025, 10:01 AM

#

fallow scroll Jul 22, 2025, 10:01 AM

#

dreamy arch there's InputBegan

should probably switch to that

dreamy arch Jul 22, 2025, 10:01 AM

#

are there any errors

lusty quarry Jul 22, 2025, 10:01 AM

#

use output

dreamy arch Jul 22, 2025, 10:02 AM

#

name is lowercase here but it's not red

fallow scroll Jul 22, 2025, 10:03 AM

#

still doesnt work

#

dreamy arch Jul 22, 2025, 10:03 AM

#

fallow scroll still doesnt work

so you have to be more specific

#

don't say it "doesn't work"

#

say it does nothing

#

or does something you wouldn't expect it to

#

say what that is

fallow scroll Jul 22, 2025, 10:03 AM

#

nothing

lusty quarry Jul 22, 2025, 10:03 AM

#

Is if processed event then return end

#

I’m new

#

To scripting

dreamy arch Jul 22, 2025, 10:04 AM

#

fallow scroll

oh

#

you're checking UserInputType

fallow scroll Jul 22, 2025, 10:04 AM

#

yes

dreamy arch Jul 22, 2025, 10:04 AM

#

that's not a keycode

fallow scroll Jul 22, 2025, 10:04 AM

#

if its the leftshift type

#

wah

dreamy arch Jul 22, 2025, 10:04 AM

#

it's one of these

#

check inputObject.KeyCode

fallow scroll Jul 22, 2025, 10:05 AM

#

where are you finding this

#

is it in the documentation

dreamy arch Jul 22, 2025, 10:05 AM

#

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

InputObject | Documentation - Roblox Creator Hub

An object created when an input begins that describes a particular user input.

#

yeah

fallow scroll Jul 22, 2025, 10:05 AM

#

DAYUM

#

there's a lot of stuff here

dreamy arch Jul 22, 2025, 10:06 AM

#

you don't have to learn all of it

#

that's what documentation is for

fallow scroll Jul 22, 2025, 10:06 AM

#

I know

#

but its good to have if I wanna make stuff

#

lusty quarry Jul 22, 2025, 10:10 AM

olive sphinx Jul 22, 2025, 10:14 AM

#

fallow scroll

if you're using leftshift

fallow scroll Jul 22, 2025, 10:14 AM

#

olive sphinx Jul 22, 2025, 10:14 AM

#

as a input

fallow scroll Jul 22, 2025, 10:14 AM

#

yes

olive sphinx Jul 22, 2025, 10:15 AM

#

and leftshift is

#

shiftlock keybind

#

it wont work

#

boom

fallow scroll Jul 22, 2025, 10:15 AM

#

I have shiftlock disabled

olive sphinx Jul 22, 2025, 10:15 AM

#

oop

#

well

#

userinputtype

#

is different

#

try KeyCode

#

input.KeyCode

#

userinputtype is usually for

#

mouse things

#

yk

#

mouse move or lmb rmb blabla

fallow scroll Jul 22, 2025, 10:22 AM

#

sorry I was doing other stuff

fallow scroll Jul 22, 2025, 10:23 AM

#

olive sphinx input.KeyCode

olive sphinx Jul 22, 2025, 10:28 AM

#

fallow scroll there is no such thing

fallow scroll Jul 22, 2025, 10:30 AM

olive sphinx Jul 22, 2025, 10:31 AM

#

can you paste it here

#

please

lusty quarry Jul 22, 2025, 10:31 AM

#

send the text

fallow scroll Jul 22, 2025, 10:31 AM

#

okay, but I wanted to do it myself with help

local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")

local function onInputStarted(inputObject, processedEvent)
    if processedEvent then return end
    
    if inputObject.UserInputType == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift then
        print("Shift key pressed" .. inputObject.KeyCode.Name)
    end
end

UserInputService.InputEnded:Connect(onInputStarted)```

dreamy arch Jul 22, 2025, 10:31 AM

#

fallow scroll

if inputObject.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift

#

i told you this

fallow scroll Jul 22, 2025, 10:31 AM

#

what

#

Ion get it

#

what does it mean

olive sphinx Jul 22, 2025, 10:32 AM

#

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")

local function onInputStarted(inputObject, processedEvent)
    if processedEvent then return end

    if inputObject.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift then
        print("Shift key pressed" .. inputObject.KeyCode.Name)
    end
end

UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(onInputStarted)

#

here you go

lusty quarry Jul 22, 2025, 10:32 AM

#

switch it I think

dreamy arch Jul 22, 2025, 10:32 AM

#

fallow scroll what does it mean

you're checking if the UserInputType is a KeyCode

#

it's never a KeyCode

#

you have to check the KeyCode property of the InputObject

fallow scroll Jul 22, 2025, 10:32 AM

#

wait I'm still trying to process allat

#

TYSM

but its a good start

olive sphinx Jul 22, 2025, 10:35 AM

ywyw

fallow scroll Jul 22, 2025, 10:36 AM

#

#

I love it when it just does all the work for me

lusty quarry Jul 22, 2025, 10:38 AM

#

some times it’s not correct though

fallow scroll Jul 22, 2025, 10:39 AM

#

Ik

lusty quarry Jul 22, 2025, 10:39 AM

#

why do u need it to print when shift key pressed

fallow scroll Jul 22, 2025, 10:40 AM

#

to check if it can even detect that im pressing shift

#

it works but its kinda ass

lusty quarry Jul 22, 2025, 10:41 AM

#

you can make it do a sprint

fallow scroll Jul 22, 2025, 10:41 AM

#

wdym

lusty quarry Jul 22, 2025, 10:41 AM

#

like when u hold shift it makes u sprint

fallow scroll Jul 22, 2025, 10:41 AM

#

yes

#

that was the plan

#

I also want it to change the animation later

#

but thats a whole other can of worms

fallow scroll Jul 22, 2025, 10:45 AM

#

fallow scroll it works but its kinda ass

well, its not ass

#

but I need to make it go back to 16 somehow

#

I'll try doing the opposite

#

on ended

#

alr it works

#

:D

#

imma rename the thread

#

Sprint script (formerly called: why doesnt this script work?)

#

im also going to make a sprint animation and I'll be back afterwards

fallow scroll Jul 22, 2025, 11:53 AM

#

okay so I suck at animating

#

so I just took my walkanim and sped it up

#

81630182425656

#

how would I make the script change the anim

thick edge Jul 22, 2025, 2:20 PM

#

fallow scroll how would I make the script change the anim

load the running animation onto the player's animator. every time the player starts sprinting, do animation:Play(), and every time they stop, do animation:Stop()

#

probably

#

idk
