Need help with making mobile support for an ability that I made

Help and Feedback Scripting Support

Hi there! So in short today I have made an ability for my game. The ability is activated by pressing the key Z on the computer. However, I need help to make it suitable for mobile as well, by like clicking a button to activate it so that it would work on mobile and pc.

This is all the stuff in my game at the moment:

So, I simply have the model for like the ice shard and a RemoteEvent in RepStorage, a few scripts and values.

However, the only script that I need help with moble support is the LocalScript in StarterPack called IceSpikeRemoteToFire. This is the code in the script in IceSpikeRemoteToFire which is located in StarterPack shown in the above image:

wait(1)
--Services--
local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")


--Variables--
local Remote = ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("IceRemote")
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.Character


--Settings--

local CoolDown = true
local Key = "Z"


UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(Input, IsTyping)
    if IsTyping then return end
    local KeyPressed = Input.KeyCode
    if KeyPressed == Enum.KeyCode[Key] and CoolDown and Character then
	    CoolDown = false
	
	
	    Remote:FireServer()
	
	
	    wait(8)
	    CoolDown = true
    end
end)

So in short to recap, my aim is to be able to make the script above be able to work for mobile as well as pc. So something like pressing a GUI button to activate on mobile and keeping the method of pressing a key to activate on pc. Yeah so like press a button to activate on mobile, press a key on the keyboard like the one in the script above for pc

Any help would be really appreciated! Thank you so much!!! :grin:

See about using the TextButton.InputBegan for mobile, or some other event for mobile

Then you can just use the same methods of checking and just fire the remote and turn on cooldown

button.InputBegan:Connect(function()
    if CoolDown and Character then
         CoolDown = false
         Remote:FireServer()
         wait(8)
         CoolDown = true
    end
end)
