I don't understand what is wrong with this. Nothing comes up in the output when i press the keybind. Help?
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = plr:GetMouse()
local yeet = game.StarterGui.ScreenGui.background.barup
mouse.KeyDown:Connect(function(key)
if key == "e" then
yeet:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(0, 64,0, 333), 'Out', 'Bounce', 1)
end
end)
There are two core problems with this. Those being that KeyDown is deprecated, and that you are using StarterGui, rather than the PlayerGui.
The contents of the Starter Gui are cloned into each player's PlayerGui when they join, so modifying the startergui has no effect on the local player.
Two things that should be done is
change the reference to the startergui to the playergui
Use userinputservice (InputBegin) as opposed to keydown.
The fixed script should look like something on the lines of this:
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local yeet = plr.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("ScreenGui").background.barup
UIS.InputBegin:Connect(function(input,gpe)
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E then
yeet:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(0,64,0,333), 'Out', 'Bounce', 1)
end
end)
Hopefully this helped!
the following code is the same as the other guy's code but it will only run once and not continuously
local plr = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local yeet = plr.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("ScreenGui").background.barup
if UIS:IskeyDown(Enum.KeyCode.E) then
yeet:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(0,64,0,333), 'Out', 'Bounce', 1)
end
end)
that also wont work , it would only run once when the local script is cloned into the player gui
which , i dont think anyone will be holding the e key as they join a game
also, how do you know what the user wants, the question and the title are very vague
This discussion is preserved as it was. New answers, comments, and votes are closed.

no this will run as long as the key e is down and thats not what this user wants
Thanks!
