If you're using roblox's "UserInputService" it's basically in the name of it "user" you can't really put it somewhere else and want it to still capture, you need to place it into the localplayer's directory or startergui

and what does that exactly mean? "localplayer's directory " seikkatsu 110 — 4y

By that i meant places like: StarterGui, StarterPlayer->StarterCharacterScripts, StarterPlayer->StarterPlayerScripts VitroxVox 884 — 4y
