Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I want to detect if player is using joystick in mobile. The joystick which is players can move their characters with this in mobile. Is there a event for this?

#2

Also i tried to use UserInputService.GamepadEnabled, but not worked.

#3

did you check on the server side or on the client side?

#4

i want to check it in client side

#5

PUT IN CLIENT SCRIPT (LOCAL SCRIPT)

local DeviceType = game:GetService("UserInputService"):GetDeviceType()
print(DeviceType.Name)

EDIT: DOES NOT WORK The current identity (4) cannot GetDeviceType (lacking permission 5)

#6

so you have checked it in the client side?

#7

i checked it in client side with UserInputService.GamepadEnabled

#8

Did you test it with real conditions?
Like a real gamepad…

#11

#12 
if game:GetService("UserInputService").TouchEnabled then
	print("You are in mobile")
end

#13

If you want disable the joystick thing for all device:

game.StarterPlayer.DevTouchMovementMode = Enum.DevTouchMovementMode.Scriptable
#14 
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")

local lastInput = UserInputService:GetLastInputType()

if lastInput == Enum.UserInputType.Touch then
	print("Most recent input was via touch")
end

No, i dont meant this. I meant I just want to detect if player using joystick and moving his character with it, like if w pressed then do anything and i want to make if player uses joystick then do anything.

local function OnInputChanged(Input, GameProcessedEvent)
		if Input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Thumbstick1 then
			print("Thumbstick 1")
			end
