User Input Service Not Doing Anything at All?
I'm trying to create a script that when the left shift key is pressed, it fires a remoteevent to make the player crouch. However, absolutely nothing happens. It doesn't print anything, but I also don't get any errors.
local crouch = game.ReplicatedStorage.Crouch
UIS = game:GetService('UserInputService')
UIS.InputBegan:connect(function(input,processed)
if not processed then
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift then
print("leftshift pressed")
crouch:FireService("yes")
end
end
end)
UIS.InputEnded:connect(function(input,processed)
if not processed then
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift then
print("leftshift pressed release")
crouch:FireService("No")
end
end
end)
I also tried the way from the wiki, and it still didn't work. (i already got rid of the code but it was essentially this with a remoteevent)
function onKeyPress(inputObject, gameProcessedEvent)
if inputObject.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.R then
print("R was pressed")
end
end
game:GetService("UserInputService").InputBegan:connect(onKeyPress)

If you are just making the player crouch through animations, you shouldn't need to use RemoteEvents. Even if you did, you have to use :FireServer() not :FireService() to fire the server script. For UserInputService to work it must be in a LocalScript inside somewhere that's individual to each player (e.g. StarterGui which replicates the script to every player). Since animations are one of the few things that replicate to the server with FE, you should be able to do something like this in a LocalScript:
local animation = Instance.new("Animation")
animation.AnimationId = "" --insert id in quotes
local track
game:GetService("UserInputService").InputBegan:Connect(function(key,isTyping)
if isTyping == false and key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift then
local char = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character
if char then
track = char:WaitForChild("Humanoid"):LoadAnimation(animation)
track.Looped = true
track:Play()
end
end
end)
game:GetService("UserInputService").InputEnded:Connect(function(key,isTyping)
if isTyping == false and key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift then
if track then
track:Stop()
end
end
end)
