Is there any way to forcefully open/close the player's Backpack?

To make the process of switching out Tools from the Backpack quicker with a controller, I’m trying to find a way to bind the Backpack open/close to the Dpad-Up button. I’m also looking for a way to determine wether the player’s Backpack is open or not. Is it currently possible to do this through scripting?

Force the backpack open as in perform the same action that tilde (~) does except without prior user input? No, there isn’t a way to do this. You’ll want to look into a custom backpack implementation instead where the DPad up button cycles through a set of tools.

No way to see if the backpack is open or not either.

Unfortunately you are unable to do that, as it is part of the CoreGui, which cannot be called edited with the current permissions.
However, you can use SetCoreGuiEnabled() to enable/disable the backpack, but you are unable to open and close it.
