my user input service script not working?
------------------variables--------------------------------
local f = workspace.Floor
local p = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local c = p:FindFirstChild("Character")
local h = c:FindFirstChild("Humanoid")
local gui = p.PlayerGui.PressF.Frame
------------------user input------------------------------
local uis = game:GetService("UserInputService")
uis.InputBegan:Connect(function(input)
local keyIn = input.KeyCode
if keyIn == Enum.KeyCode.A then
print("A was pressed!")
end
end)
this is the script.it's parented in a part and it's a local script why doesn't it work? any answer that explains this will be appriciated

Improvements
Use WaitForChild() to make sure a part exists before using it
Use GetService() for the Players Service
InputBegan takes two parameters, the input, and a gameproccessed event (used to check if the input occurred in / on a gui)
Issues
My assumption is that the "part" you are referring to is in the workspace, however, LocalScripts will NOT run in the workspace, only Server Scripts, so I'd move your LocalScript to StarterGui instead
Revised Local Script in the StarterGui
local uis = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local p = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local c = p.Character or p.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local h = c:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
local gui = script.Parent:WaitForChild("PressF"):WaitForChild("Frame")
local f = workspace:WaitForChild("Floor")
uis.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, event)
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.A then
print("A was pressed!")
end
end)
If anything else in your code requires "script.Parent" i'd suggest making the part it refers to a local variable in your code and replacing those instances.

LocalScripts are run by a player's client. LocalScripts only begin to run when they are a descendant of the Player or the Player's Character.
