I've got a game which requires the R key to be pressed in order for something to happen, but since I want it to be tablet friendly, I was wondering if it is possible for the game to check if the player is on mobile, then make a GUI (which is not visible on PC) show up so tablet users can press that instead of the R key. I can't find anything which allows me to do this. I don't know if it is possible to make a script to check if the player is playing on a PC or not. Does anyone know if this is possible?

local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService") if UserInputService.TouchEnabled == true then --Checks if mobile --If yes then runs code here end put in local script then put the local script in StarterPlayer->StarterPlayerScripts
