Why is my boost script using Context Action Service not working?
I am learning how to use the Context Action Service. I have a script that should print "spacewaspressed" when you press space or if you are on mobile when the button is pressed. I have a local script in starter player. Here is my script:
local contextActionService = game:GetService("ContextActionService")
contextActionService:BindAction("Boost", spacepressed, true, Enum.KeyCode.Space)
function spacepressed()
print("spacewaspressed")
end
When start the game I get "Argument 2 missing or nil" on line 3. Argument 2 is the function it is supost to fire and its spelled right so idk. Its probably something really simple that I missed but I am a beginner scripter so yeah... Thanks :D
I tried a new script that should work but it still isn't and I am getting nothing in output.
local contextActionService = game:GetService("ContextActionService")
function SpacePressed()
print("spacewaspressed")
end
contextActionService:BindAction(
"Boost",
SpacePressed,
true,
Enum.KeyCode.Space
)

You need to define the function prior to binding it. Or, while you bind it.
Here's a list of parameters you should supply
local contextActionService = game:GetService("ContextActionService")
contextActionService:BindAction(
"Boost",
function(string, inputstate, inputobject) print("waspressed") end,
true,
Enum.KeyCode.Space
)
EDIT:
Now, this would normally work. But since Space is bound by default, you cannot overwrite it. You're going to have to use the InputBegan function of UserInputService.
local uis = game:GetService("UserInputService");
ui.InputBegan:Connect(function(input,process)
if not process then
if input == Enum.KeyCode.Space then
print("waspressed")
end
end
end)
