Roblox Script Generated by ScripterAI

"On line 42 for custom actions, could a workaround for this system to work include making it so that when the player presses the key to start typing in the chat bar, the indicator would appear?"

Yes, you can design a workaround where pressing a key to start typing in the chat bar triggers the typing indicator. This approach requires detecting a specific key press event and then showing the typing indicator. However, it's important to note that Roblox's default chat system captures keyboard input directly when typing into the chat, which might limit the ability to detect specific key presses meant for starting chat input.

To implement this, you would need to create a custom input handler that listens for the key press that activates the chat (usually "/", but this can be customized in some games). When this key is pressed, you can trigger the typing indicator to appear above the player's head. Remember, this method won't detect when the player is actually typing or has finished typing; it merely shows an indicator when they press the key to start chatting.

Here's an example script that demonstrates how to show a typing indicator when the player presses a specific key (in this case, the "/" key, which is commonly used to start chatting). This script should be placed in a LocalScript within a suitable location, such as a player's character or a GUI.

```lua
local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")

local localPlayer = Players.LocalPlayer

local function showTypingIndicator()
    if not localPlayer.Character or not localPlayer.Character:FindFirstChild("Head") then return end
    local typingGui = localPlayer.Character.Head:FindFirstChild("TypingGui") or Instance.new("BillboardGui")
    local textLabel = typingGui:FindFirstChild("TextLabel") or Instance.new("TextLabel", typingGui)

typingGui.Adornee = localPlayer.Character.Head
    typingGui.Name = "TypingGui"
    typingGui.Size = UDim2.new(0, 200, 0, 50)
    typingGui.StudsOffset = Vector3.new(0, 2, 0)
    if not typingGui.Parent then typingGui.Parent = localPlayer.Character.Head end

textLabel.BackgroundTransparency = 1
    textLabel.Size = UDim2.new(1, 0, 1, 0)
    textLabel.TextColor3 = Color3.new(1, 1, 1)
    textLabel.TextScaled = true
    textLabel.Text = localPlayer.Name .. " is typing..."

typingGui.Enabled = true

delay(5, function()
        if typingGui then
            typingGui.Enabled = false
        end
    end)
end

UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gameProcessed)
    if gameProcessed then return end -- Ignore if the game has processed the input
    if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Slash then -- Check if the "/" key was pressed
        showTypingIndicator()
    end
end)
```

This script listens for the "/" key press to trigger the typing indicator. It's a basic implementation and might need adjustments based on specific game mechanics or if you use a custom chat system.
