In my game, many scripts utilize the event that detects the keyboard input of a player. Obviously a player can't press keys on an iPad, so I wanted to make GUIs for certain keys. Is it possible to do this?

Just make the buttons invoke the code? like function Q() --do something end --Assume the Mouse object is obtained from somewhere Mouse.KeyDown:connect(function(Key) if Key == "Q" then Q() end end) --Assume QGui is a button of some sort QGui.MouseButton1Click:connect(Q) -orangegreenblue, the Lua Noob

No, my goal is to have the KeyDown event fire somehow when a GUI is pressed. Maybe something similar to the method SetKeyUp?

Yeah it's possible.. But it'd be a totally different script. So you could have two different scripts, one to function for people without ipad, and the other with(Using guis).
