Can someone help me with detecting gamepad enabled?

Asked by

I have this script:

if game:GetService("UserInputService").GamepadEnabled then
    print("gamepad enabled")
    local instructions = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui").Instructions.text
    print("found instructions")
    instructions.Visible = true
    wait(30)
    instructions.Visible = false
end

Everything before the script works perfectly fine. I have the exact same if game:GetService("UserInputService").GamepadEnabled then in another script in my game thats works fine. It is in a server script in the ServerScriptService. The script itself has to do with gamepass's.

Thank you in advance for any help.

It should be in a local script and be placed in StarterGui, StarterPack or CharacterScripts. There is no need for it to be in a server script but if you want you can use a remoteevent to communicate to the server script.

The issue was that the script has to do with gamepass', which autocorrected to gamepads, so that's my bad. Gamepasses can only be handled in server scripts. FierceByte 25 — 8y

Well you can use a remoteevent from the local script and just handle it in the server script. LifeInDevelopment 364 — 8y
