Hey there! This script is intended to destroy a tool when a player presses backspace instead of dropping it however the script won't seem to work and I can't identify the problem. Any help would be appreciated :)

local tool = script.Parent
tool.CanBeDropped = false

local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")

function onKeyPress(inputObject, gameProcessedEvent) -- Create function
    if inputObject.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Backspace then -- If the player pressed Backspace
        tool:Destroy()
    end
end

UIS.InputBegan:connect(onKeyPress)

P.S: I'm rather new to Lua.

It's probably because the Backspace already handles tool dropping, this means that it is used in the ContextActionService by the corescripts. You can try to use https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/function/ContextActionService/BindActionAtPriority to override it. (Give priority of 1000)

Yes, you want to use ContextActionService. Take a look at this https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/class/ContextActionService
