Is it possible to force/trick a game into thinking that a player is on a different platform?

  1. I’m trying to make a UI button that changes the players platform when touched(for example a PC player hit the mobile button and then had mobile controls).

  2. I don’t know if this is possible? I don’t know any API references close to it or such.

  3. I haven’t looked on the DevHub as I don’t know the API name for platforms. I don’t need a whole script, API references or tutorials would work fine.

iirc the Join.ashx request specifies all information related to your username, operating system, etc. before your game authentication ticket is generated–however there is a data signature on this request now so it’s not as easy as modifying the request anymore.

I probably should’ve read the post description.

You should be able to modify the player’s PlayerScripts.PlayerModule.ControlModule.
Check out ControlModule.new. It has reference to the construction of a mobile player’s TouchGui

function ControlModule.new()
	local self = setmetatable({},ControlModule)

	-- The Modules above are used to construct controller instances as-needed, and this
	-- table is a map from Module to the instance created from it
	self.controllers = {}

	self.activeControlModule = nil	-- Used to prevent unnecessarily expensive checks on each input event
	self.activeController = nil
	self.touchJumpController = nil
	self.moveFunction = Players.LocalPlayer.Move
	self.humanoid = nil
	self.lastInputType = Enum.UserInputType.None

	-- For Roblox self.vehicleController
	self.humanoidSeatedConn = nil
	self.vehicleController = nil

	self.touchControlFrame = nil

	self.vehicleController = VehicleController.new(CONTROL_ACTION_PRIORITY)

	Players.LocalPlayer.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char) self:OnCharacterAdded(char) end)
	Players.LocalPlayer.CharacterRemoving:Connect(function(char) self:OnCharacterRemoving(char) end)
	if Players.LocalPlayer.Character then
		self:OnCharacterAdded(Players.LocalPlayer.Character)
	end

	RunService:BindToRenderStep("ControlScriptRenderstep", Enum.RenderPriority.Input.Value, function(dt)
		self:OnRenderStepped(dt)
	end)

	UserInputService.LastInputTypeChanged:Connect(function(newLastInputType)
		self:OnLastInputTypeChanged(newLastInputType)
	end)


	UserGameSettings:GetPropertyChangedSignal("TouchMovementMode"):Connect(function()
		self:OnTouchMovementModeChange()
	end)
	Players.LocalPlayer:GetPropertyChangedSignal("DevTouchMovementMode"):Connect(function()
		self:OnTouchMovementModeChange()
	end)

	UserGameSettings:GetPropertyChangedSignal("ComputerMovementMode"):Connect(function()
		self:OnComputerMovementModeChange()
	end)
	Players.LocalPlayer:GetPropertyChangedSignal("DevComputerMovementMode"):Connect(function()
		self:OnComputerMovementModeChange()
	end)

	--[[ Touch Device UI ]]--
	self.playerGui = nil
	self.touchGui = nil
	self.playerGuiAddedConn = nil

	if UserInputService.TouchEnabled then
		self.playerGui = Players.LocalPlayer:FindFirstChildOfClass("PlayerGui")
		if self.playerGui then
			self:CreateTouchGuiContainer()
			self:OnLastInputTypeChanged(UserInputService:GetLastInputType())
		else
			self.playerGuiAddedConn = Players.LocalPlayer.ChildAdded:Connect(function(child)
				if child:IsA("PlayerGui") then
					self.playerGui = child
					self:CreateTouchGuiContainer()
					self.playerGuiAddedConn:Disconnect()
					self.playerGuiAddedConn = nil
					self:OnLastInputTypeChanged(UserInputService:GetLastInputType())
				end
			end)
		end
	else
		self:OnLastInputTypeChanged(UserInputService:GetLastInputType())
	end

	return self
end

Never heard of this before, will check it out though.
