UserInputService! Is there a way to not trigger the "InputBegan" event while chatting?
Every time I chat and click on the KeyCode for my script below, it triggered the "InputBegan" event. Is there a way to make the script "postpone" (in a sense) the event, so that the function connected to the "InputBegan" event doesn't run while chatting?
-- Local Script located in game.StarterGui
Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
UIS.InputBegan:connect(function (InputObject)
if InputObject.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.F then
print("F is pressed!")
end
end)
This is what happened when I was chatting. Notice the output.

The InputBegan event returns two values.
1) - The input that fired the event.
2) - Whether or not the event was fired as a "gameProcessedEvent".
Notice the second value? It's a bool. And a "gameProcessedEvent" is something like.. chatting(:
See the connection? All you have to do is make sure the second parameter is false before going on with the code(:
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
UIS.InputBegan:connect(function(InputObject,Processed)
--Make sure the second parameter is false
if not Processed then
if InputObject.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.F then
print("F is pressed!")
end
end
end)

Thank you so much for this! Now I can completely ditch KeyDown events with confidence! xD Redbullusa 1580 — 9y
