Hello, I am very confused, and someone with patience and kindness can explain to me somethings. I have made the following script:
function onKeyPress(key)
if key == Enum.KeyCode.R then
print("R was pressed")
end
end
game.ContextActionService:BindAction(onKeyPress)
Can someone explain to me why in the wiki there are three parameters? Also, what is ContextActionService and BindAction? Thanks for reading, and again, sorry for my confusion. ~Yoman1776
ContextActionService is a service that can be used to bind user input to functions.
Also, whoever gave you that script may have been wrong in that set up.
BindAction is a function used to bind a specific key (using it's keycode), to function with some additional options.

This is how you use it:
local serv = game:GetService("ContextActionService")
function attack()
print("he is attacking")
end
serv:BindAction("Attack",attack,false,Enum.KeyCode.One)
wait(1)
serv:UnbindAction("Attack")
These are the four parameters:
The name of the action, it has to be unique.
The function that gets called.
Whether or not a button for this action will be created on a mobile.
The key that gets pressed.
