Why wont this UserInputService function work?
EDIT: Included the entire LocalScript this time
EDIT 2: Fixed in Community Chat
For some stupid reason this UserInputService function wont work at all. It’s in a localscript, located in PlayerGui, however for some reason it wont work. The rest of the script works fine…
01 | local Point=script.Parent.Adornee.Position |
02 |
03 | local Plr=game.Players.LocalPlayer |
04 |
05 | local Active=false |
06 |
07 | |
08 |
09 | while true do |
10 |
11 | wait(0.1) |
12 |
13 | if Plr:DistanceFromCharacter(Point) < 10 then |
14 |
15 | script.Parent.Enabled=true |
16 |
17 | Active=true |
18 |
19 | else |
20 |
21 | if script.Parent.Parent:FindFirstChild("Quartermaster") then |
22 |
23 | script.Parent.Parent.Quartermaster:Destroy() |
24 |
25 | end |
26 |
27 | script.Parent.Enabled=false |
28 |
29 | Active=false |
30 |
31 | end |
32 |
33 | end |
34 |
35 | |
36 |
37 | game:GetService("UserInputService").InputBegan:Connect(function(Input,GPE) |
38 |
39 | if not GPE then |
40 |
41 | if Input.KeyCode==Enum.KeyCode.E and Active==true then |
42 |
43 | local UI=game.ReplicatedStorage.Userinterfaces.Quartermaster:Clone() |
44 |
45 | UI.Parent=game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui |
46 |
47 | end |
48 |
49 | end |
50 |
51 | end) |

You did put this in a local script, right? SteamG00B 1633 — 6y

You can’t change the parent of a part in the server directly from within a local script, but you can clone it and set its parent to wherever you want it to go. Also you didn’t define active, so it might be that too, but I won’t be able to tell you. All you would need to change is this:
01 | game:GetService("UserInputService").InputBegan:Connect(function(Input,GPE) |
02 | if not GPE then |
03 | if Input.KeyCode==Enum.KeyCode.E then |
04 | if Active==true then |
05 | local UI=game.ReplicatedStorage.UserInterfaces.Quartermaster:Clone() --that's it |
06 | UI.Parent=script.Parent.Parent |
07 | end |
08 | end |
09 | end |
10 | end) |

Thanks, this solved part of the problem however the function wont run whatsoever. When I press 'E' in test, the function wont even acknowledge it. Zeluxis 100 — 6y

You can’t change the parent of a part in the server directly from a LocalScript. You would need to fire remote events to contact the server and the server needs to change the part’s parent.

That's not an answer, this belongs in the comments. SteamG00B 1633 — 6y
