:IsKeyDown() On Mobile

[SilentSuprion]

Hello, how would I know if a player on mobile is going right/left/forward/backward on mobile? I could use humanoid move direction or rootpart cframe, but I want to use inputs instead for a more accurate input.
Thank you.

You can use PlayerActions with BindAction, like:

local CAS = game:GetService("ContextActionService")
local function Function(Name: string, State: Enum.UserInputState, Input: InputObject)
	print(Name, State)
end
CAS:BindAction("CharacterLeft", Function, false, Enum.PlayerActions.CharacterLeft)
CAS:BindAction("CharacterRight", Function, false, Enum.PlayerActions.CharacterRight)
CAS:BindAction("CharacterForward", Function, false, Enum.PlayerActions.CharacterForward)
CAS:BindAction("CharacterBackward", Function, false, Enum.PlayerActions.CharacterBackward)

I think it can be made more compact, but this is the idea.

MoveDirection is as close as you’ll get, unless you want to do some tedious ContextActionService work that adds initialization lines to your functions.

Is this the same thing as :KeyDown?

Yes and no, because it won’t fully work on mobile. It will not work with joysticks but will work with the thumbpad.
