Why my gui isn't opening when I click the key?
With this script I want to open/close my gui with an animation when I press *. I'm learning lua and I'm not very good so maybe someone can fix my script and explain me why isn't working.
This is my script:
01 | wait() |
02 | local frame = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent:WaitForChild('MODmenu').Frame |
03 | local toggle = false |
04 | local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer --TODO: get service |
05 | local Mouse = Player:GetMouse() |
06 | local k = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Key.Value |
07 | local key = string.lower(k) |
08 |
09 | Mouse.KeyDown:connect(function(Key) |
10 | if (Key==key)then |
11 | if toggle == false then |
12 | frame:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(0,0,0,0), 'Out', 'Bounce', 1) |
13 | script.Parent.Text = "* to close" |
14 | toggle = true |
15 | else |

It's probably easier to use UserInputService instead. Just about the value in the script, you can just assign the variable a value directly in the script, like so: variable = "value". Applies to all value types.
Anyways: I changed (probably) a lot in your code, so this should work:
01 | wait() |
02 | local frame = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.MODmenu.Frame |
03 |
04 | -- If the "MODmenu" is not yet in the UI, replace with WaitForChild(), like the previous |
05 | -- sample you have shown. If not, keep it the same. |
06 |
07 | local toggle = false |
08 | local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer |
09 | local UIP = game:GetService("UserInputService") |
10 | local k = Enum.KeyCode.KeypadMultiply -- Trying to use Enum.KeyCode.Asterisk doesn't seem to work. KeypadMultiply should do the trick. |
11 |
12 |
13 | UIP.InputBegan:Connect(function(Key) |
14 | if Key.KeyCode == k then |
15 | if toggle == false then |

Place this code inside a LocalScript instead of a normal Script. This is due to ROBLOX's kinda recent update I think.
