Trying to trigger something with keys and getting errors. Any help?
I am trying to print "test" when the button "q" is pressed. Here is the code I'm using.
ms = game:GetService("Players").KDarren12:GetMouse()
ms.KeyDown:connect(function(key)
if key == "q" then
print('test')
end
end)
I get the error: "Attempt to index global 'ms' (a nil value)". Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
Edit(I am using this code on a Client Side script, not a LocalScript.)

um there is server script and there is local script, server script is for the entire server to see and local script is for the local player to see Gameplayer365247v2 1055 — 5y

Currently using the KeyDown on a mouse is deprecated, instead you can be using stuff like ContextActionService or UserInputService.
local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
UIS.InputBegan:Connect(functon(key)
if key == Enum.UserInputType.Q then
print("Test")
end
end)
In the code above we have the service "UserInputService" in a variable. Every time someone taps a key or something the event "InputBegan" is fired. We use key for reference of the key that was touched and it that key is Q we print Test.

local KDarren12 = game.Players.FindFirstChild("KDarren12")
if KDarren12 then
local mouse = KDarren12:GetMouse()--u know these first 2
mouse.KeyDown:Connect(function(key)
local Key = key.lower("q")--this sets the key
if key == ("q") then--if u pressed q and it it matches the Key above then
--what u want to happen in here
end
end)
end
another method i think would work is this
local KDarren12 = game.Players:FindFirstChild("KDarren12")
if KDarren12 then--if it find the child KDarren12 then
game:GetService("UserInputService"):IsKeyDown:Connect(function(input, gameproceed)--gets ur input service aka the button u press
if input == (Enum.KeyCode.Q) then--if the button u press is q then
--what u want to happen in here
end
end)
end
