My Fireball giver script won't work. Why?
1 | function onKeyDown(key) |
2 | Key = key:lower() |
3 | if key == "q" then |
4 | Move1 = game.Lighting.Fireball:Clone() |
5 | Move1.Parent = Backpack -- Would I have to change to game.Players.Backpack? |
6 | end |
7 | mouse.KeyDown:connect(onKeyDown) |
Please correct it.

Is BackPack already defined? woodengop 1134 — 9y

First off; you're definitely missing an end in that function, which in and of itself might be your only problem. Another reason the script isn't working might be that your Backpack and mouse aren't defined. To do so, use;
1 | Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer --Assuming this is a LocalScript |
2 | mouse = Player:GetMouse() |
3 | Backpack = Player.Backpack |
Lastly, KeyDown is deprecated, and it would be in your best interest to use 'UserInputService'. In your example, you could use the following code;
01 | Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer |
02 | mouse = Player:GetMouse() |
03 | Backpack = Player.Backpack |
04 |
05 | serv = game:GetService("UserInputService") |
06 | serv.InputBegan(function(input) -- triggers every time the client uses keyboard/whatever is available |
07 | if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.Keyboard and --Checks if client has a keyboard |
08 | input.UserInputState == Enum.UserInputState.Begin then -- Self-explanatory |
09 | if input.KeyCode == Enum.Keycode.Q then -- In keydown, this'd be 'if key == "q" then' |
10 | Move1 = game.Lighting.Fireball:Clone() |
11 | Move1.Parent = Backpack |
12 | end |
13 | end |
14 | end) |
