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..
local Point=script.Parent.Adornee.Position
local Plr=game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Active=false
while true do
wait(0.1)
if Plr:DistanceFromCharacter(Point) < 10 then
script.Parent.Enabled=true
Active=true
else
if script.Parent.Parent:FindFirstChild("Quartermaster") then
script.Parent.Parent.Quartermaster:Destroy()
end
script.Parent.Enabled=false
Active=false
end
end
game:GetService("UserInputService").InputBegan:Connect(function(Input,GPE)
if not GPE then
if Input.KeyCode==Enum.KeyCode.E and Active==true then
local UI=game.ReplicatedStorage.Userinterfaces.Quartermaster:Clone()
UI.Parent=game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui
end
end
end)

You did put this in a local script, right? SteamG00B 1633 — 5y

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:
game:GetService("UserInputService").InputBegan:Connect(function(Input,GPE)
if not GPE then
if Input.KeyCode==Enum.KeyCode.E then
if Active==true then
local UI=game.ReplicatedStorage.UserInterfaces.Quartermaster:Clone() --that's it
UI.Parent=script.Parent.Parent
end
end
end
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 — 5y

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 — 5y
