Hello, I’m trying to make a gun with reload buttons for mobile player. Normally for PC players they just need to press R to reload. But I don’t know how to make for mobile players. Can anyone teach pls?

Use context action service, and :BindAction() and it creates button for mobile users

#4

Can’t you just make a text button wouldn’t that be more simple?

#5

:BindAction() is really simple, it automatically creates a button!

#6

I tried the to use the text button but it didnt work

#7

Oh really but im sorry that I dont have a deep knowledge about :BindAction()

You need to use ContextActionService. This service allows you to link input and functions. And this service will also help to make a recharge button for mobile devices. Create a recharge function, then connect it to the button using BindAction, then put the button a position and a picture using SetPosition and SetImage. More about the service.

What is your code for the button?

Here’s answer

local ContextActionService = game:GetService("ContextActionService")
 
local ACTION_RELOAD = "Reload"
 
local tool = script.Parent
 
local function handleAction(actionName, inputState, inputObject)
	if actionName == ACTION_RELOAD and inputState == Enum.UserInputState.Begin then
		print("Reloading!")
	end
end
 
tool.Equipped:Connect(function ()
	ContextActionService:BindAction(ACTION_RELOAD, handleAction, true, Enum.KeyCode.R)
end)

It will give you a button saying ‘reload’!

We just talked about it
They tell me to browse it

#20

Should I put it in StarterPlayerScript?

#21

I read his script, it looks like it should be placed inside of a LocalScript, inside of the tool.

You can either use ContextActionService or create your own buttons. The only difference using those two is:

  • ContextActionService automatically provides you a button
  • ContextActionService lets you position the button, but you can’t resize it.
  • Creating your own button will let you have free control on the button’s properties. (Resize, position, color, etc.)
