I was wondering if there was a certain type of code where it only happens with a certain device. If you still don't know what i mean, for people who play on mobile, when you play jail break, there is a GUI what only shows for mobile to sprint or crouch,
Thanks, SUPERKID8713
PS. if you want to play my game the link is https://web.roblox.com/games/6493517966/Sword-Fight-Beta, i might need to restart because of how broken it is but play it for now!
I found this link on the devforum about an existing topic: https://devforum.roblox.com/t/how-to-detect-if-player-is-using-a-phone/178533
You can use UserInputService and GuiService to determine whether a player is on mobile or not.
local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local GServ = game:GetService("GuiService")
local te = UIS.TouchEnabled -- can you touch the screen?
local ke = UIS.KeyboardEnabled -- is there a keyboard?
local me = UIS.MouseEnabled -- is there a mouse?
local ge = UIS.GamepadEnabled -- is there a gamepad?
local tenfoot = GServ:IsTenFootInterface() -- is tenfootinterface enabled? (a roblox ui exclusive to console)
if te and not ke and not me and not ge and not tenfoot then
-- your code because its a mobile device
end
--[[
same thing with detecting consoles and pc's
if ke and me then
pc
end
if tenfoot then
console
end
]]

Hope this helps
There's no native way to get the user's device type. However, there are some functions that may interest you:
UserInputService.AccelerometerEnabled
UserInputService.GamepadEnabled
UserInputService.GyroscopeEnabled
UserInputService.KeyboardEnabled
UserInputService.MouseEnabled
UserInputService.TouchEnabled
UserInputService.VREnabled
GuiService::IsTenFootInterface
Mobile devices have MouseEnabled and KeyboardEnabled false. Most mobile devices should have an accelerometer and gyroscope.
Console devices have KeyboardEnabled false, and IsTenFootInterface true.
I may have missed some functions or properties from the wiki, but you can explore yourself.
Also, here's a snippet of code I found on the DevForums, I forgot who the original author was, so I apologize if it was your's.
local GuiService = game:GetService("GuiService")
local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
function getplatform()
if (GuiService:IsTenFootInterface()) then
return "Console"
elseif (UserInputService.TouchEnabled and not UserInputService.MouseEnabled) then
--touchscreen computers now have touchenabled so make sure to check for lack of mouse too
--also, not all phones/tablets have accelerometer and/or gyroscope
local DeviceSize = workspace.CurrentCamera.ViewportSize;
if ( DeviceSize.Y > 600 ) then
return "Mobile (tablet)"
else
return "Mobile (phone)"
end
else
return "Desktop"
end
end
