Creating a initiate type script?
How would I make a script when a player pushes a specific key that they are then able to type in anything in a certain bar just like the chat? (ex: press / to type in chat)
I know how to do this:
player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
mouse = player:GetMouse()
mouse.KeyDown:connect(function(k)
key = k:lower()
if key == "" then
--etc
end
end)
But I also wanted to specifically use unlisted key buttons that aren't numbers or letters such as '/', 'SHIFT', and etc. I think I saw a page to it but never knew what to do. (or maybe put that ID into the empty key quotations)
EDIT: This question has been answered.

Part 1: UserInputService
Easy enough to learn is UserInputService, a better way get inputs than KeyDown (as it's deprecated):
game:GetService("UserInputService").InputBegan:connect(function(key,gameProcessed) -- key = InputObject, gameProcessed = bool (check to see if it's false to make sure the rest of the event isn't going when typing, for example)
if key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Slash and gameProcessed == false then -- use autocomplete or the wiki to get the rest of the Enum.KeyCode keys
-- code
end
end)
Hopefully you can understand that. It will only work in LocalScripts, as far as I can tell.
Part 2: CaptureFocus
CaptureFocus is a method of TextBoxobjects, and is used to basically automatically select the TextBox you are calling it with:
textBox:CaptureFocus() -- also note the following relevant things: textBox:ReleaseFocus() -- opposite textBox.Focused -- event textBox.FocusLost -- opposite event
Hopefully I have given you what you wanted!
