This is a strange bug with UserInputService, is it not?
UserInputService is messy. Everything is defined. The only thing that doesn't go according to plan is that the ToggleEquipSword function doesn't trigger when I press One, nor does it notify me in the output that I pressed a key. It only prints the type of user input.
01 | userInput.InputBegan:connect( |
02 | function(input) |
03 | print(input.UserInputType) |
04 | if input.UserInputType == 'Keyboard' then |
05 | print('Keyboard') --To let me know that I've pressed a key |
06 | if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.One then |
07 | print'1' |
08 | ToggleEquipSword() |
09 | end |
10 | end |
11 | end |
12 | ) |
Strangely enough, even though the UserInputType is Keyboard, It doesn't print 'Keyboard' to the output as intended

input.UserInputType isn't a string -- it's an enum. (You can print it out to check this)
Things of different types will not usually be equal.
Enums represent "enumerated" values.
This is meant to solve a problem related to what you're doing.
What happens if I say part.TopSurface = "Blorp"? "Blorp" isn't one of the surface types. Enums are a solution where you explicitly state all of the values that are acceptable: Enum.SurfaceType. has them all. (Of course, ROBLOX lets you use strings usually for assignment).
1 | local KeyboardEnum = Enum.UserInputType.Keyboard |
2 |
3 | ..... |
4 |
5 | if input.UserInputType == KeyboardEnum then |
