How do I actually check which keys are being used?
This doesn't print Forward when I press W. How do I make it so it does? Never actually used CAS before.
local contextAction = game:GetService("ContextActionService")
function onKeyPress(actionName, userInputState, inputObject)
if userInputState == Enum.UserInputState.Begin then
if inputObject == Enum.KeyCode.W then
print('Forward')
end
elseif userInputState == Enum.UserInputState.End then
--nothing here yet
end
end
contextAction:BindAction("keyPress", onKeyPress, false, Enum.UserInputType.Keyboard)

I'm pretty sure you used the wrong service.
ContextActionServicebinds a set of inputs to a function. To bind a function to a keyboard button with this service, call the function BindAction. So, to print a string when the W key is pressed, a function can be bound like so:
function onKeyPress(actionName, userInputState, inputObject)
if userInputState == Enum.UserInputState.Begin then
print("Forward")
end
end
game.ContextActionService:BindAction("keyPress", onKeyPress, false, Enum.KeyCode.W)
UserInputService binds functions to input via its events, such as InputBegan or InputEnded. These events fire on any input change, so it is important to check for the particular input you are interested in when handling the function. So, to print a string when the W key is pressed, a function can be bound like so:
function onKeyPress(inputObject, gameProcessedEvent)
if inputObject.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.W then
print("Forward")
end
end
game:GetService("UserInputService").InputBegan:connect(onKeyPress)
I think you needed to use UserInputService instead of ContextActionService. Try that. If it helped, upvote and accept answer. Thanks! (Snippets of code are from the wiki, same with the description on ContextActionService and UserInputService)
