Trying to make a script that is fired when a certain key is pressed. Can anyone help?

So uh, I've been trying to make this script work for some time now with the UserInputService yet I still can't manage to find the solution. I am fairly new to this, so help would be appreciated.


local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer


local anim1 = Instance.new("Animation")
anim1.AnimationId = "http://roblox.com/Assets?ID=2294643345"



UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")



UIS.InputBegan:connect(function(key)
    if key.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Q then
        print("Pressed!")


local Fire1 = Instance.new("Fire", Player.Character.LeftHand)
      Fire1.Color = Color3.new(236, 139, 70)
      Fire1.SecondaryColor = Color3.new(255, 0, 0)
      Fire1.Heat = -20
      Fire1.Size = 4

local Fire2 = Instance.new("Fire", Player.Character.RightHand)
      Fire2.Color = Color3.new(236, 139, 70)
      Fire2.SecondaryColor = Color3.new(255, 0, 0)
      Fire2.Heat = -20
      Fire2.Size = 4

local animation1 = Player.Character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(anim1)
     animation1:Play()

wait(3)
Fire1:destroy()
Fire2:destroy()

end


end)

I am pretty sure the script doesn't go past the

function onKeyPress(inputObject, gameprocessed)
    if inputObject.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Q then

part.

Thank you.

Not sure if you read my comment already, but as i said, putting a localscript in workspace wont work, you have to put it in starterplayerscripts, i just tried it and it printed out "pressed" so its working

This is what I use in my games.

game:GetService("UserInputService").InputBegan:Connect(function(input,event)
    if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Q then
        -- [code]
    end
end)

Make sure you use this in a local script!

It still doesn't seem to detect that I pressed the key. iAduriteX 34 — 5y
