How do I bind more than one action to a single keycode using context action service?

Asked 216 views1 answers

Ok mod apparently I wasn't specific enough. What I'm trying to do is have the player do multiple actions (i.e. entering a vehicle and opening doors) using one key on the keyboard. Having a different for each action is pretty cumbersome so that's why I decided to do this. I tried doing what another post suggested which was this: 

function door(state, input)
	if (state == Enum.UserInputState.Begin) then
   		  --script to open door
	end
end

function vehicle(state, input)
	if (state == Enum.UserInputState.Begin) then
		--enter vehicle
	end
end

function EStuff()
    door()
    vehicle()
end

game:GetService("ContextActionService"):BindAction("EStuff", EStuff, false, Enum.KeyCode.E)

But it didn't work. Any help is appreciated. This is just an example script btw, everything works when I bind a key to one action.

Perhaps you could check to see whether the user is in range of a door or a car and then act accordingly.

The idea would be to detect the key input and then cast a ray away from the player. The ray would be used to check what is near to the player so that they may act accordingly.

I can't promise the code below would work but you should get the right idea.

local Player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local playerPart = Player:FindFirstChild("HumanoidRootPart")
local Length = 15

local function checkPosition()
	local Ray = Ray.new(playerPart.Position, playerPart.LookVector*Length)
	local Door, HitPosition = workspace:FindPartOnRay(Ray, AI)
	if Door then
	    -- Do door action
	else
	    -- Do car action
	end
end)

local function door(state, input)
    if (state == Enum.UserInputState.Begin) then
	checkPosition()
    end
end

game:GetService("ContextActionService"):BindAction("EStuff", EStuff, false, Enum.KeyCode.E)

The same concept would apply here. Search for what is nearby and act accordingly
