How do I make the KeyDown() function Usable from script in PlayerGui?

Asked by 9 years ago

I'm trying to create a tool free game. I am a novice Scripter and I am curious as to how I can allow for this function (Key Down()) to work without putting it in a HopperBin, BackPack. The reason i'm not using the backpack is because the Gui Objects inside the PlayerGui are received as nil. So for now I'm leaving the "LocalScript" in the Gui Object. Here is the main line: (assume the variables are defined)Excerpt

            m.KeyDown:connect() 
if key=="a" and c.Lane1.A1.Position.Y<=c.Lane1.Left.UDim2(0,0,54.5,0) then Bad=true  print'Bad'elseif...

This is the output I recieve if I attempt to put this script inside the StarterPack : **DDR1 is not a valid member of PlayerGui 21:25:14.040 - Script 'Players.Player1.Backpack.Script', Line 3 21:25:14.040 - Stack End** This is another error I get : 01:12:11.524 - Players.Player1.PlayerGui.DDR1.DDR.Script:48: attempt to compare userdata with number 01:12:11.525 - Stack Begin 01:12:11.525 - Script 'Players.Player1.PlayerGui.DDR1.DDR.Script', Line 48 01:12:11.526 - Stack End

Filtering Enabled is off, I've checked this forum,Script Builders,and the Wikia for answers. None of them worked. The Hierarchy is: game.StarterGui.DDR.Script or if I put it in the Starter Pack... game.StarterPack.Script

this is the full script:

--Variables
p=game.Players.LocalPlayer
c=script.Parent
L1=c.Lane1.A1
L2=c.Lane2.A2
L3=c.Lane3.A3
L4=c.Lane4.A4
m=p:GetMouse()
 -- turn back to false 
Lost=false
Win=false
Bad=false
Cool=false
--Functions
function Left()
L1.Transparency=0
L1:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(0,0,-0.219,0))
wait(1.5)
L1.Transparency=1
L1:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(0,0,1.006,0))
end 
function Down() 
L2.Transparency=0
L2:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(0,0,-0.219,0))
wait(1.5)
L2.Transparency=1
L2:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(0,0,1.006,0))
end
function Up()
L3.Transparency=0
L3:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(0,0,-0.219,0))
wait(1.5)
L3.Transparency=1
L3:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(0,0,1.006,0))
end
function Right()
L4.Transparency=0
L4:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(0,0,-0.219,0))
wait(1.5)
L4.Transparency=1
L4:TweenPosition(UDim2.new(0,0,1.006,0))
end     



m.KeyDown:connect(function(key) 

if key=="a" and L1.AbsolutePosition.Y>c.Bad.AbsolutePosition  then
    Bad=true print'Bad'
elseif key=="a" 
    and (L1.Position.Y>c.Perfect) and (c.L1.Position.Y<=c.Bad) then 
    Cool=true print'cool' 
elseif key=="a" 
    and (L1.Position.Y==c.Perfect) then
    Perfect =true   print 'Perfect'
end
end)

while true do
    wait(1)
 i=math.random(1,4)
        print (i)
        if i==1 then Down()
        elseif
            i==2 then Down()
        elseif
            i==3 then Right()
        elseif
            i==4 then Up()

        end
end

Thanks for your answers. I will implement them immediately. However, I think there are more bugs in my script. SamDomino 65 — 9y

So... If I understand you correctly, this is what you need to change.

function Start()
    m.KeyDown:connect(function()--line 43

    if statement to check hit or not

    end--line 59
    end)
end

Also, you need to call Start() at some point before you start the while loop. You have Start = true in your Begin function, but Start is a function in and of itself.

Also, this should be in PlayerGui... I don't think it makes sense to have it in Backpack like a hopperbin, so leave it in StarterGui
