Is there any way I could get the actual number from a key pressed ( specifically a number key 1 - 9 )
So, when you press 1, it returns 1
I've tried KeyCode.Name, but that returns a written out version, "One".
function QuickSwitch(Key)
local KeyName = Key.KeyCode.Name
print(KeyName) --returns "One"
end
Since its such a small set of numbers you could just create a dictionary and get the correct format from it, as follows:
local numbers = {["One"] = 1, ["Two"] = 2, ["Three"] = 3} ---etc.
function QuickSwitch(Key)
local KeyName = numbers[Key.KeyCode.Name]
print(numbers[Key.Name]) --returns "1"
end
I'm not sure if ive edited your script right to work how it should (line 4 might be wrong... line 5 should work as intended though :) )

if you want more numbers (like... all the numbers..) leave a comment and I'll help you out :)
alright i changed the code a bit and using a pre-created dictionary kinda helped, my old method was returning nil from the array.
"returning nil from the array" if it was returning nil from the array I provided it may be because I capitalised the start of the numers because in your post you said it returned "One" not "one" so it could just be that simple :)
