	local connection = nil
	
	connection = uis.InputBegan:Connect(function(inp)
		for i, gamepadInput in pairs(gamepadInputs) do
			if inp.KeyCode == gamepadInput then

				if UserInputType.PlayerInputType ~= "GamePad" then
					UserInputType.PlayerInputType = "GamePad"
				end

				local stringForKeyPressed = uis:GetStringForKeyCode(gamepadInput)

				for _, xboxButton in pairs(XboxButtons) do
					if xboxButton == stringForKeyPressed then
						UserInputType.gamepadTypeFromNewestInput = "Xbox"
					end
				end

				for _, PlaystationButton in pairs(PlayStationButtons) do

Is there anyway to tell if a person is on an Xbox or a PS4/PS5?

You can use UserInputService:GetStringForKeyCode(keyCodeInput). For example: On Xbox, pressing the ButtonA KeyCode would return ButtonA. But, pressing the ButtonA KeyCode on PS4/PS5 would return ButtonCross.

Here is my current implementation of a input system. (click)

local userInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService") local InputTypeChangedRE = game.Workspace.RemoteEventsFolder.Inputs.InputTypeChanged --- local UserInputTypeSystemModule = { gamepadTypeFromNewestInput …

I think its solution

Just wanted to jump in to say that “console platform” is different from gamepadType. Gamepad type is the controller the player uses.

Roblox does not allow developers to get the console of the player, only the controller.

oh thats mb, i worded it wrong. i meant to say i was trying to get the gamepadType from my module script so that i can use it in another but that’s great information to know.

also i was reading your script last night. it was a brilliant resource. tysm for putting that up mate!!
