[SOLVED] Mobile Controls

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I’m trying to create 2 mobile buttons for 2 different skills the player has (the only 2 I’ve made so far) No matter what I do, I can’t figure out how to use ContextActionService properly. So far, I’ve been trying to find a solution to my problem, but nothing I’ve tried is working. I watched a tutorial, and all I got from it was this part of the code to make a mobile button, and I found an old roblox blog explaining how to make mobile buttons.

local contextActionService = game:GetService("ContextActionService")
function onButtonPress()

end
local mobilebutton = contextActionService:BindAction("SprintButton", onButtonPress, true, "d")
contextActionService:SetPosition("SprintButton", UDim2.new(0.72, -25, 0.20, -25))
contextActionService:SetImage("SprintButton", "rbxassetid://11429326")
contextActionService:SetTitle("SprintButton", "Sprint")

Sprint Script:

local UIS = game:GetService('UserInputService')
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.Character


UIS.InputBegan:connect(function(input)--When a player has pressed LeftShift it will play the animation and it will set the normal walking speed (16) to 35.
 if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift then
  Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 27.5
  local Anim = Instance.new('Animation')
		Anim.AnimationId = 'rbxassetid://9174155767'
  PlayAnim = Character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(Anim)
  PlayAnim:Play()
 end
end)


UIS.InputEnded:connect(function(input)
 if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.LeftShift then
  Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 14.5
  PlayAnim:Stop()
 end
end)

How would I convert at least this sprint button to work on mobile? (Please explain very carefully, as I have absolutely no idea what I’m doing at all. All I just know is that this is the script on how to get a mobile button.)

How would I be able to set this up to where the button only appears once the player has a badge?

#5

You could use BadgeService and then bind the action.

#6

So I have to put in the code that checks if a player has a badge and if they do have the badge the BindAction gets binded?

#7

yes

charss limit

#8

I added in the badge check code but now it won’t create a button

lua
local contextActionService = game:GetService("ContextActionService")
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Character = Player.Character

function onButtonPress(actionName, inputState)
	if inputState == Enum.UserInputState.Begin then
		Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 27.5
		local Anim = Instance.new('Animation')
		Anim.AnimationId = 'rbxassetid://9174155767'
		PlayAnim = Character.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(Anim)
		PlayAnim:Play()
	elseif inputState == Enum.UserInputState.End then
		Character.Humanoid.WalkSpeed = 14.5
		PlayAnim:Stop()
	end
end

local BadgeService = game:GetService("BadgeService")
local Ability = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage"):WaitForChild("ShiftToSprint") -- Change tool to the name of your tool in replicated storage!
local BadgeId = 2125647539
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
		if BadgeService:UserHasBadgeAsync(player.UserId,BadgeId) then
			local mobilebutton = contextActionService:BindAction("SprintButton", onButtonPress, true, "z")
			contextActionService:SetPosition("SprintButton", UDim2.new(0.72, -25, 0.20, -25))
			contextActionService:SetImage("SprintButton", "rbxassetid://11429326")
			contextActionService:SetTitle("SprintButton", "Sprint")
		end
	end)
end)

use RemoteEvent as contextaction doesnt work on server side scripts

#10

Please clarify, idk what that is ;-;

#11

SeverSide script is normal script, you need to use RemoteEvent then fire it if the player has the badge

#12

For the remote event, do I connect the function with the whole mobile button script?

#13

Could you please clarify what I’m supposed to do with the remote event?

#14

I’ve been messing around with this script to try to fix the blue line error in the image, but nothing is working. Can you please help?
