How to insert this Special User Input key?

Asked 282 views2 answers

I found this chunk of code in a script

--      -- CHatHotKey is '/'
--      GuiService:AddSpecialKey(Enum.SpecialKey.ChatHotkey)
--      GuiService.SpecialKeyPressed:connect(function(key) 
--          if key == Enum.SpecialKey.ChatHotkey then

So I want to add that "/" character instead of "e". As stupid as that sounds just replacing "/" for E wont work.

[MOUSE AND PLAYER ALREADY DEFINED]

--(Not the whole script, just 2 lines of it)
mouse.KeyDown:connect(function (key) -- Run function
    if key == "e" then

I tried this:

[MOUSE AND PLAYER ALREADY DEFINED]

--(Not the whole script, just 2 lines of it)
mouse.KeyDown:connect(function(Key)
    if key:byte() == 47 then -- 47 is the number code for "/"

But it only works in studio, not online. And yes, it's in a local script.

The problem is that you never defined mouse. In a local script in startergui, it should be sorted as this:

local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = plr:GetMouse()

mouse.KeyDown:connect(function (key) 
local key = key:lower()
if key == "e" then
--do stuff
end
end)

If you would like to use "/", I recommend to use userinputservice instead.
