KeyDown not working right?
I'm currently working on a game and I wanted to make my own Chat GUI. I have the chats displaying on the screen but I wanted to also make a Chat Bar.
My problem is that I am checking for when the player presses the "/" key, but sometimes the event doesn't fire when the player presses that key.
My code :
01 | -- mouse is the players mouse. |
02 | -- gui is the chatgui all the gui objects are being stored in. |
03 |
04 | mouse.KeyDown:connect(function(key) |
05 | if key == "/" then |
06 | gui.ChatBox.ChatBox.Text = "" |
07 | gui.Label:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(0.05,0,1,0), "Out", "Quad", 1, true) |
08 | gui.ChatBox:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(0,0,0.95,0), "Out", "Quad", 1, true) |
09 | gui.ChatBox.ChatBox:CaptureFocus() |
10 | end |
11 | end) |
Anyone have any ideas to fix this I've seen other games do this but not sure how they did it.

01 | local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer |
02 | local Mouse = Player:GetMouse() |
03 |
04 | Mouse.KeyDown:connect(function(Key) |
05 | if key == string.char(47) then -- This is the shift key. |
06 | gui.ChatBox.ChatBox.Text = "" |
07 | gui.Label:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(0.05,0,1,0), "Out", "Quad", 1, true) |
08 | gui.ChatBox:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(0,0,0.95,0), "Out", "Quad", 1, true) |
09 | gui.ChatBox.ChatBox:CaptureFocus() |
10 | end) |
Special Keys Maybe you can try using ContollerService on wiki to help. I believe this "/" key is already in use for the regular roblox, though I have a feeling that your making a custom chat which gets rid of roblox chat using SetCoreGuiEnabled. But I guess there is a way to unbind the "/" and use it but till then you can use other keys.
