Release Notes for 661

Updates Release Notes
#43

I think an API that returns the user’s device type (i.e. PC, Xbox, etc.) would be awesome.

Finally, I won’t have to do local plugin: Plugin = plugin anymore, autocomplete works properly.

Everyone has been asking for this for years, but we never got it.
This is what I did (requires FastSignal - A consistent signal library):

--< Services >--

local ReplicatedStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage")
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")

--< Assets >--

local Modules = ReplicatedStorage.Modules
local Components = Modules.Components

--< Components >--

local Signal = require(Components.FastSignal)

--< Constants >--

local COMPUTER_INPUTS = {
	Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton1,
	Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton2,
	Enum.UserInputType.MouseButton3,
	Enum.UserInputType.MouseWheel,
	Enum.UserInputType.MouseMovement,
	
	Enum.UserInputType.Keyboard
}

local GAMEPAD_INPUTS = {
	Enum.UserInputType.Gamepad1,
	Enum.UserInputType.Gamepad2,
	Enum.UserInputType.Gamepad3,
	Enum.UserInputType.Gamepad4,
	Enum.UserInputType.Gamepad5,
	Enum.UserInputType.Gamepad6,
	Enum.UserInputType.Gamepad7,
	Enum.UserInputType.Gamepad8
}

local TOUCH_INPUTS = {
	Enum.UserInputType.Touch,
	Enum.UserInputType.Gyro,
	Enum.UserInputType.Accelerometer
} 

--< Controller >--

local Controller = {}

Controller.Computer = false :: boolean
Controller.ComputerChanged = Signal.new() :: Signal.ScriptSignal<boolean>

Controller.Console = false :: boolean
Controller.ConsoleChanged = Signal.new() :: Signal.ScriptSignal<boolean>

Controller.Mobile = false :: boolean
Controller.MobileChanged = Signal.new() :: Signal.ScriptSignal<boolean>

function Controller.Start()
	UserInputService.LastInputTypeChanged:Connect(Controller.LastInputTypeChanged)
	Controller.LastInputTypeChanged(UserInputService:GetLastInputType())
	UserInputService.InputChanged:Connect(function(Input)
		Controller.LastInputTypeChanged(Input.UserInputType)
	end)
	UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(Input)
		Controller.LastInputTypeChanged(Input.UserInputType)
	end)
	UserInputService.InputEnded:Connect(function(Input)
		Controller.LastInputTypeChanged(Input.UserInputType)
	end)
end

function Controller.LastInputTypeChanged(Input: Enum.UserInputType)
	local OnComputer = table.find(COMPUTER_INPUTS, Input) ~= nil
	local OnConsole = table.find(GAMEPAD_INPUTS, Input) ~= nil
	local OnMobile =
		table.find(TOUCH_INPUTS, Input) ~= nil
		and UserInputService.TouchEnabled
		and not OnComputer
		and not OnConsole
	
	if Controller.Computer ~= OnComputer then
		Controller.Computer = OnComputer
	end
	Controller.ComputerChanged:Fire(OnComputer)
	if Controller.Console ~= OnConsole then
		Controller.Console = OnConsole
	end
	Controller.ConsoleChanged:Fire(OnConsole)
	if Controller.Mobile ~= OnMobile then
		Controller.Mobile = OnMobile
	end
	Controller.MobileChanged:Fire(OnMobile)
end

return Controller

Yeah, it’s a really hacky implementation. I wish there was a built-in API, but I guess this will suffice for now.
