Hello!
I am trying to add mobile buttons when using the vehicle seat. All I want to do is just have my arrow buttons and throttle gui connect to the same functions that the key board arrow keys do. I just would like to know which modulescript I should edit from the starterplayerscripts and where I should add the connection? Or is it a script in the vehicle seat? I need this because it is hard to drive a vehicle with mobile.
I have done this in the past using a new local script in StarterCharacter (or StarterPlayer) and UserInputService with remote events. That remote event should communicate with a server script that changes the vehicle seat’s values for throttle and steering. (Side note: I am curious to see if anyone has done this by modifying an already existing script.)
What would happen for steering though, how does the vehicle seat know if it is left or right?
Could I see your script possibly? It is fine if not, I am just curious as to what it looks like.
You can do this using ContextActionService | Roblox Creator Documentation. It has a built-in method for creating mobile buttons and also can bind multiple keybinds to an action.
But then how can the server receive that and make the car steer left or right? I understand I can do the throttle which will make it go forward, but what about steering or going backwards?
I don’t know. Are you trying to use Robloxs built-in system? Or are you making a custom vehicle?
The built in system, so that is why it is a little difficult to pinpoint exact where I need to change stuff.
You can either set steer or steer float. Steer accepts -1 for left, 0 for straight, and 1 for right. SteerFloat accepts any float value between -1 and 1 so you can set it more precisely. Here’s the documentation page for it: VehicleSeat | Roblox Creator Documentation
You may need to repeatedly set it every frame/heart beat because it might automatically reset to 0, I don’t remember at the moment.
