This local script is works perfectly fine until it is supposed to read what the textBox text is, it just does not do it and there is no error message.

local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer -- for the key down events
local Mouse = Player:GetMouse()
 


local display = script.Parent

local BOOT_MSG_TEXT = "System booted, enter 'help' or run a command"

local lineNumber = 1

local tempInputBin = "empty" -- to hold the input from the player temporarley (not for coding)

returnPressed = false

function rButtonCheck(button)
	if button == "r" then
		print("player pressed return")
		returnPressed = true -- so the system knows that the user typed 'r'
		return
		else wait(1) 
	end
	
end
