Using Userinputservice but stuff doesn't work as planned?

Asked 327 views1 answers

I'm having a problem, I am using userinputservice to detect when a certain button on the keyboard is pressed, in that case the letter "g", when I press g, the script will play an animation on my humanoid, when I am writing in the chat ingame, and I put the letter "g" inside of the chat bar the animation is played I want to avoid that what should I do?

There is a second argument which is passed which lets you know if the event was fired due to a gui.

Basically, what you want to do is use this code:

--To put it simple, this blocks anything that is gameProcessed not interfere
--with your ungameprocessed UserInput. For example, the Roblox chat is gameProcessed.
--your UserInputService isn't, so what it's going to do if we didn't have if not gameProcessed
--this would make it where your userinput would be activated in gameProcessed situations. Like chat.
game:GetService("UserInputService").InputBegan:Connect(function(KeyDown, gameProcessed)
	if not gameProcessed then
		if KeyDown.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.G then
			--Do whatever you want it to do whenever someone presses, g. Or Holds g if you use the inputended event.
		end
	end
end)

game:GetService("UserInputService").InputEnded:Connect(function(KeyDown, gameProcessed)
	if not gameProcessed then
		if KeyDown.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.G then
			--Like I said earlier, if you want to hold g. if you don't, just use inputbegan.
		end
	end
end)
