i want to change a decal image based on key input but sadly i'm facing issues. due to the input script being a LocalScript in StarterGui, it makes me unable to change the decal on a part. i don't have a work-around, and i need help.

How would I go about changing a decal image on a part based on key input?

So first you would have to detect the key input like this
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local function onInputEnded(inputObject, gameProcessedEvent)
-- First check if the 'gameProcessedEvent' is true
-- This indicates that another script had already processed the input, so this one can be ignored
if gameProcessedEvent then return end
-- Next, check that the input was a keyboard event
if inputObject.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.Keyboard then
print("A key was released: " .. inputObject.KeyCode.Name)
if inputObject.KeyCode.Name == your key string then
end
end
end
UserInputService.InputEnded:Connect(onInputEnded) --from dev wiki
docs can be found here https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/articles/introduction-to-input then just use that to change the Decal.Texturn to whatever link you want
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local function onInputEnded(inputObject, gameProcessedEvent)
-- First check if the 'gameProcessedEvent' is true
-- This indicates that another script had already processed the input, so this one can be ignored
if gameProcessedEvent then return end
-- Next, check that the input was a keyboard event
if inputObject.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.Keyboard then
print("A key was released: " .. inputObject.KeyCode.Name)
if inputObject.KeyCode.Name == your key string then
Decal.Texture = "url"
end
end
end
UserInputService.InputEnded:Connect(onInputEnded) --from dev wiki
like that

note this should be in the localscript, and Decal should be the path to it

i have a slight problem. the part i want the decal to be on is inside the player's character under Torso (im using R6.) what would i need to do to get the path to it?

Can you post your script please?
Do you want the decal to be changed for all players or only the one who input? If you want all players you can use a RemoteEvent and if you only want the player who input then you can use the LocalScript.
only the player who inputs
