Everything except for the final paragraph of code is working. Does anyone know what the problem is? Thank you!

EDIT: I've figured out that the tilde is actually the thing causing the problem, not the other commands.

Read this: http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=Keyboard_input and read the section on UserInputService Gey4Jesus69 2705 — 8y

I already did, that's where I got that code from. I just edited it slightly. AvatarAang400 35 — 8y

Can you try print(inputObject.KeyCode.Value) prior to the if statement and tell us what is produced in the output? M39a9am3R 3210 — 8y

It say "Players.Player1.PlayerGui.GoldSrcBx - StarterGui:46: attempt to index global 'inputObject' (a nil value)" AvatarAang400 35 — 8y
