hi

I wanna know how to detect if player is on console that shows up by pressing f8

and ofc I don’t want to detect it by key detection like IsControlReleased

This is not possible, what would be the usecase of doing such?

Why not? Looks like ur only option.

You can probably do it from js in html, with document.body.onkeydown.
It will look like this.

document.body.onkeydown = function(e){
    //F8 == 119 (keyCode)
    alert(String.fromCharCode(e.keyCode)+" --> "+e.keyCode);
};

Thank you my friend but we can detect it by Lua with :

IsControlJustReleased

the problem is when player opened the f8 before joining to server

anyway thanks for sharing your idea and I’m going to use your code for my NUI projects

A player can’t do a lot with the console feature. I don’t see why you would need to know how to do this unless your doing something I have never seen before.

Is the use you are going to make of F8 detecting something related to exec?

equalize_r · 2023-02-13T15:58:32.867Z

yes I’m doing something for detecting some stuff

equalize_r · 2023-02-13T15:59:55.156Z

no that is another case, I was trying to detect some other stuff that f8 console ruins it
anyway I found another way and don’t need to know if player opened f8 or not

if the client can do anything with their f8 console it means your code is insecure and no “anticheat” is going to remedy that

IsControlJustReleased is not detecting when some1 press f8, like it would be blocked
