I use the key command/script, it did not work, am I missing anything?
I use the key command/script, it did not work, am I missing anything?
Script
local key = "e"
mouse.KeyDown:connect(function(k)
if k:lower() == key then
if mouse.Target then
if mouse.Target:FindFirstChild("item") then
script.Parent.Transparency = 0.5
end
Fixed Script
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local key = "e"
local mouse = plr:GetMouse()
mouse.KeyDown:connect(function(k)
if k:lower() == key then
if mouse.Target then
if mouse.Target:FindFirstChild("item") then
script.Parent.Transparency = 0.5
end
end
end
end)
Fix version
-- Place in StarterPlayerScripts
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local plr = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local mouse = plr:GetMouse()
UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gpe) -- input beginning
if gpe then return end
-- if the player is processing text (like chatting! and pressing key, end the function
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E then -- if the key is E
if mouse.Target and mouse.Target:FindFirstChild("item") then
-- code
workspace.Part666.Transparency = 0.5
end
end
end)
Still did not work why? It's a local script in StarterPlayerScripts
Please help!

You're missing two ends, and an end). Also, KeyDown is deprecated, do not use it in new work. Same goes for :connect().
-- Place in StarterPlayerScripts
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local plr = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local mouse = plr:GetMouse()
UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gpe) -- input beginning
if gpe then return end
-- if the player is processing text (like chatting! and pressing key, end the function
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E then -- if the key is E
if mouse.Target and mouse.Target:FindFirstChild("item") then
-- code
end
end
end)

Of course! Local scripts are for user input. Never use a server script to do this. User#19524 175 — 6y

Make sure it's a local script under either StarterGui, StarterPack, or StarterPlayerScripts. User#19524 175 — 6y

Firstly, don't use mouse.KeyDown, it's deprecated. Instead, use UserInputService. Also, use Enum to specify the character, don't use a string.
local key = Enum.KeyCode.E
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gp)
if gp then return end
if input.KeyCode == key then
if mouse.Target and mouse.Target:FindFirstChild("item") then
script.Parent.Transparency = 0.5
end
end
end)
Hope this helps :)

Your code has 3 missing ends, so your 2 if statements and your function aren't closed. Also, using KeyDown is deprecated, UserInputService is the best choice for input.
With the InputBegan event we could make a function, get the input and check if it's the keycode E and if its then run the code.
local mouse = game.Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()
local key = Enum.KeyCode.E
game:GetService("UserInputService").InputBegan:Connect(function(input,gpe)
if gpe then return end -- This will return if being fired while you're focused in a coregui, for example
if input.KeyCode == key
if mouse.Target then
if mouse.Target:FindFirstChild("item") then
script.Parent.Transparency = 0.5
end
end
end
end)
