Using the KeyCode UserInput function (when V is pressed)?

Asked by 7 years ago

Does anyone know how to use the new KeyCode API? It's GetKeysPressed, but I don't know how to use it.

I would like it when the letter V is pressed, then I'll add my own code there.

Thanks, -flor

local uis = game:GetService("UserInputService")
uis.InputBegan:Connect(function(key,bool)
   if bool == false then
      if key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.V then
         --do stuff here
      end
   end
end)

Keep in mind this has to be done from a local script.

The code doesn't seem to work, I put a print statement in the line of code and nothing happened. I used a local script in Workspace. Florian27 76 — 7y

Local script only run from places that are independent to each player, such as their gui. Try putting it in StarterGui. mattscy 3725 — 7y

Both of ya'll are wrong. This is the correct way,

Here's the link: http://wiki.roblox.com/index.php?title=Keyboard_input

function onKeyPress(inputObject, gameProcessedEvent)
    if inputObject.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.V then
        print("V was pressed")
    end
end

game:GetService("UserInputService").InputBegan:connect(onKeyPress)

We are not wrong, we are just using a different method / coding differently. StoleYourClothes 105 — 7y
