Handling InputBegan

The following example demonstrates one of many usage examples of handling user input from InputBegan depending on its type.

-- In order to use the InputBegan event, the UserInputService service must be used
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")

-- A sample function providing multiple usage cases for various types of user input
UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gameProcessed)
	if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.Keyboard then
		local keyPressed = input.KeyCode
		print("A key is being pushed down! Key:",input.KeyCode)
	elseif input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1 then
		print("The left mouse button has been pressed down at",input.Position)
	elseif input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton2 then
		print("The right mouse button has been pressed down at",input.Position)
	elseif input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.Touch then
		print("A touchscreen input has started at",input.Position)
	elseif input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.Gamepad1 then
		print("A button is being pressed on a gamepad! Button:",input.KeyCode)
	end

	if gameProcessed then
		print("\tThe game engine internally observed this input!")
	else
		print("\tThe game engine did not internally observe this input!")
	end
end)
