Is there any way for me to listen to the default UI joystick for mobile from a localscript? I really don’t want to modify corescripts at all but I need to see changes to the virtual joystick.
Also, I seem to be having an issue, With device emulation turned on mobile controls are not appearing?? I’m not sure if this is a me being dumb problem or not
Pretty sure the mobile controls aren’t in CoreGui lol. Should be visible in the PlayerGui
yeah but I just mean that’s something that Roblox updates and it’s a Roblox scripted thing that’s inserted automatically. It doesn’t change the fact that I don’t want to fork the code just to change one minor thing and prevent it from being updated with the rest of the “Core” guis later
You can use the :GetMoveVector() method on MasterControl (located under PlayerScripts > ControlScript > MasterControl on run-time) to get a cross-platform movement vector.
EDIT: don’t do this, the PlayerScripts are changing structure so this isn’t best practice anymore.
That’s perfect, I still have the issue though where I can’t see the touch movement controls. I thought studio included them during playsolo on an emulator?
Try play Solo and Search for LocalScript in the Explorer.
You should be able to find the Guis that you are looking for too by searching for Frame.
This is an open issue for the mobile emulator right now, there’s a bug report about that. Going into options and changing the touch movement mode setting back and forth should make the controls appear.
