07------------------user input------------------------------
08local uis = game:GetService("UserInputService")
09uis.InputBegan:Connect(function(input)

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

view source
01local uis = game:GetService("UserInputService")
02 
03local p = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
04local c = p.Character or p.CharacterAdded:Wait()
05local h = c:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
06 
07local gui = script.Parent:WaitForChild("PressF"):WaitForChild("Frame")
08 
09local f = workspace:WaitForChild("Floor")
10 
11uis.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, event)
12    if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.A then
13        print("A was pressed!")
14    end
15end)

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.
