My game has an invite friend button within a special give perks to friends gamepass. I have recently been upping my game’s gamepad support, and I realize after I prompt the invite friends (official Roblox GUI to give invites directly to friends to join game), the SelectedObject is not set to the Core Gui which does not allow me to invite friends, search or cancel. This would result in leaving the GUI on their screen for the remainder of their play session if prompted this when a gamepad was being used.
Originally posted to Development Discussion Is this a problem with your game? Am I able to do something about this? Is this a bug that should be reported?
I believe the SocialService may be mixed up - have you enabled API services enabled? API services have to be enabled for friends to be invited. I assume you have API services enabled, although there may be a bug with a gamepad support. It’s probably the gamepad doesn’t have certain controls, so the gamepad’s select button is probably bugged.
After taking a look at this…
Looks like this menu will never appear on XBox, though of course you can still navigate to this menu using a gamepad on PC or mobile.
I’ll follow up with more information. If you can, feel free to move this to the bug report section.
Good question. It’s disabled for Xbox specifically because Xbox doesnt have access to Roblox’s Platform-wide chat within the XBox App, so there’s no need to send messages on their behalf.
