How do I do a key trigger? [closed]

Asked by 4 years ago

So in case you're wondering what I mean: like if a press the key "H" it would print Hello World.

Thank you, InfectedRythmCC

I suggest you reading the following articles from the wiki: https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/event/UserInputService/InputBegan https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/enum/KeyCode

For your example, the code would be like this: (Writen in a local script inside StarterPlayerScripts)

local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local hotkey = "H"
local message = "Hello world"

function OnInputBegan(input, gameProcessed)
    -- Check if triggered by the keyboard
    if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.Keyboard then
        local keyPressed = input.KeyCode
        -- Check if the key pressed was 'hotkey'
        if keyPressed == Enum.KeyCode[hotkey] then
            print(message)
        end
    end
end

UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(OnInputBegan)

local uis = game:GetService("UserInputService")

uis.InputBegan:connect(function(key)

if key.KeyCode == Enum.Keycode.H then

print("YouTube Exists")

end

end)
