i have this it gives me no errors but it dosnt do what its supposed to
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
while wait(0.1) do
if script.Parent.Visible == true then
function onKeyPress(inputObject, gameProcessedEvent)
if inputObject.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E then
print("R was Pressed!")
end
end
end
end
UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(onKeyPress)
There are a few logistical errors with your code
Put the billboard in Starter GUI, Set the adornee to the part, and use a local script.
Here is my revised version:
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
function onKeyPress(inputObject, gameProcessedEvent)
if script.Parent.Visible == true then
if inputObject.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E then
print("R was Pressed!")
end
end
end
UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(onKeyPress)
UserInputService is not a valid global
Make sure you have it defined like i have it written. I added it to my answer as well.
Your first problem is you're using a server script IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO USE USERINPUTSERVICE IN A SERVER SCRIPT.
Secondly, you are using an infinite loop with no end, which you don't need in the first place!
Here's your new code:
-- local script
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
function onKeyPress(inputObject, gameProcessedEvent)
if script.Parent.Visible == true then
if inputObject.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E then
print("R was Pressed!")
end
end
end
UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(onKeyPress)

It has to be Local Script to detect UserInputService signal and Local Script has to be in player locations like StarterPack, StarterGui, StarterCharacterScripts or StarterPlayerScripts. Obviously it will print "R was Pressed!" on local client, so to detect it on server you would have to use Remote Events.
