"Click here or press "/" to chat!" I don't know how to set focus to the TextBox for the custom chat GUI i have created.
Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
Mouse = Player:GetMouse()
Mouse.KeyDown:connect(function(key)
if key == "/" then -- I even tried it with a simple key, to test to make sure the key wasn't the problem.
script.Parent.TypeHolder.TextBox.GotFocus = true
script.Parent.TypeHolder.TextBox:CaptureFocus()
end
end)
That's what i have so far, and it fails every time.
The "/" key is restricted to the KeyUp Event for some reason...Therefore, we just need to switch out the two events. Try this:
Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
Mouse = Player:GetMouse()
Mouse.KeyUp:connect(function(key)
if key == "/" then
script.Parent.TypeHolder.TextBox:CaptureFocus()
end
end)
Try this now. I believe everything in your script was correct besides what I fixed. Anyways, if you have any further problems or questions, please leave a comment below. Hope I helped :P
Saddly, not even that worked :l I was using the CoreScript for chats from ROBLOX: 'self.GotFocus = true' and 'self.ChatBar:CaptureFocus()' So i dont even know how accurate the code is for this kind of thig.
All you need to do is remove the 'script.Parent.TypeHolder.TextBox.GotFocus = true' and it should work fine.
It worked! thanks so much :)
