Why does the keyboard shortcut for my inventory GUI not work?
I have a script for my inventory GUI. it requires you to either press the Open/Close Inventory button or Press F. Below is a serverscript for the button
local frame = script.Parent.Parent.Inventory
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
function OpenOrClose()
if frame.Visible == false then -- Checks to see if it is open or closed
frame.Visible = true -- Opens the GUI
elseif frame.Visible == true then -- Checks to see if it is open or closed
frame.Visible = false -- Closes the GUI
end
end
script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
if frame.Visible == false then
frame.Visible = true
elseif frame.Visible == true then
frame.Visible = false
end
end)
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input,gameProcessedEvent)
if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.Keyboard then
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.F and not gameProcessedEvent then
OpenOrClose()
end
end
end)
The button works except when I press F, it doesn't open or close. Can anyone tell me why?

I supposedly planned for it to be E but it had the same problem so I switched to F but the problem persisted NGC4637 602 — 3y

Serer-sided Scripts do not have access to Services that are designated on the Client's device. UserInputService is only accessible from LocalScripts for obvious reasons, you should also be programming a UI in a LocalScript, as again, it is locally designated. Ziffixture 6913 — 3y

If i'm correct you need to set the Gui as the Player Gui.
I hope you know how to do that, before asking how to do that if you don't know search on google first for some tutorials.
If not comment down below and I'll do my best to help.

The only possible way that I can see why your code doesn't work is that "UserInputService" only works in Localscripts. Most likely, you've written your code in a Serverscript. If this doesn't work, well then I don't know.
