How do I keybind a textbutton in a Billboard Gui?

Asked 925 views2 answers

I'm currently creating a NPC that has a Billboard Gui located inside of the head and I have put a text button inside of the Billboard Gui. My goal is to make it so that once you are in a certain distance of the dummy, the Gui pops up and you can press Q to place the camera to a camera part. Then it activates another gui meant for chatting with the NPC. So far, I've made it so that the Billboard Gui pops up in a certain range, but I can't seem to figure out how to make the button clickable, much less keybind it to Q. The name of the camera part is MasterCamera. This is my code:

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()
local cam = game.Workspace.CurrentCamera

mouse.KeyDown:connect(function(key)
	if key:lower() == "q" then
		print("keyed")
		cam.CameraSubject = game.Workspace.MasterCamera
		cam.CameraType = "Scriptable"
		while wait() do
			cam.CFrame = game.Workspace.MasterCamera.CFrame
		end
	end
end)

I'm stuck on how to get it so it is in a certain range. Please help me, any responses are appreciated!

The script btw is in the StarterGui, one of the only places it will actually work, even though it's broken.

Ok, so first and foremost, KeyDown is deprecated, you need to use UIS (UserInputService)

Inside a LocalScript somewhere under StarterGui

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local camera = workspace.CurrentCamera
local mouse = player:GetMouse()

repeat wait() until workspace:FindFirstChild(player.Name) ~= nil

local npc = workspace.NPCs.TheMaster
local gui = npc.Head.BillboardGui

game:GetService("UserInputService").InputBegan:Connect(function(inputObject, gameProcessedEvent)
	if inputObject.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Q and gui.Enabled == true then
		camera.CameraSubject = workspace.MasterCamera
		camera.CFrame = workspace.MasterCamera.CFrame
	        camera.CameraType = "Scriptable"
		camera.FieldOfView = 70
	end
end)

gui.Header.Activated:Connect(function()
	print("Set-Up Event")
end)

while true do
	local distance = (player.Character.HumanoidRootPart.Position - npc.HumanoidRootPart.Position).magnitude
	if distance <= 25 then
		gui.Enabled = true
	else
		gui.Enabled = false
	end
	wait()
end

why do you have a repeat until loop when you could just use waitforchild
