How to make a script activate only for users using a phone/tablet?

Asked by 4 years ago

So if the user is using a computer, they can't use the script, but if the user is using a phone, then they can.

If someone could atleast guide me in the right direction, that would be great.

function setKey(input)
    if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.A then

I'm guessing something like this could help.

To continue on @Leamir's code, you can also detect if KeyboardEnable is false and MouseEnable just in case their computer is a touch screen!

local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local GuiService = game:GetService("GuiService")

if UIS.TouchEnabled and not UIS.KeyboardEnabled and not UIS.MouseEnabled then

   -- mobile device

end

You can't do exactaly that, but you can detect if user have touch enabled on his/her device.

local userInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")

if userInputService.TouchEnabled then
    print("The user's device has a touchscreen!")
else
    print("The user's device does not have a touchscreen!")
end
