GuiService

If activating the Select button on a Gamepad or Backslash will automatically set a GUI as the selected object. Turning this off will mean that Gui navigation will still work if GuiService.GuiNavigationEnabled is enabled but you will have to set GuiService.SelectedObject manually to start Gui navigation.

Toggles whether or not objects in the CoreGui can be navigated using a Gamepad.

Used to enable and disable the default controller GUI navigation.

Returns true if any menu of CoreGui is open.

Sets the GuiObject currently being focused on by the GUI Navigator (used for Gamepads). This may reset to nil if the object is off-screen.

This property is changed by the GuiObject.SelectionGained and GuiObject.SelectionLost events.

If you would like to determine when this property changes without tracking the SelectionGained and SelectionLost events for all GUI elements, you can use the Changed event.

Used to enable and disable touch controls and touch control display UI. Defaults to true.

Creates a gui selection group where gamepad gui navigation will only consider selectable gui objects that are within the group (children of selectionParent). A use case is you have a menu pop open, but there are other selectable objects on the screen (maybe from previous menus), but you want to the user to only be able to select gui objects in the new menu.

Functions similarly to GuiService:AddSelectionParent(), but you can give it a tuple of GuiObject that you want to be contained in the group.

This function closes the Inspect Menu, if open, when run from a LocalScript.

Returns a boolean indicating whether or not the player Emotes menu is open.

Developers can open or close the Emotes menu by calling the GuiService:SetEmotesMenuOpen() function.

This function returns whether or not the gameplay paused notification has been disabled by the developer.

Returns two Vector2 values representing the inset of user GUIs in pixels, from the top left corner of the screen and the bottom right corner of the screen respectively.

The inset values supplied by this function only take effect on ScreenGuis that have their IgnoreGuiInset property set to false.

This function returns whether the Inspect and Buy menu functionality is currently enabled. The feature is enabled by default and can be set using the GuiService:SetInspectMenuEnabled() function.

This function allows a developer to bring up the Inspect menu showing the assets listed in this HumanoidDescription object.

This allows further customization with what is shown in the Inspect Menu when players inspect other players in your game. If your game modifies what the players are wearing, you can instead give the Inspect Menu a HumanoidDescription object that represents what a player is wearing and those items will be shown. You should pass a name as well to represent the name of the player that will be inspected.

Returns true if the client is using the ten foot interface, which is a special version of Roblox's UI, exclusive to consoles. This is the only guaranteed way to verify if the user is on a console or not.

Removes a group that was created with GuiService:AddSelectionParent() or GuiService:AddSelectionTuple().

When Select is called on an instance selectionParent that is PlayerGui or a descendent of PlayerGui, the engine searches all available selectable, visible and on-screen GuiObjects that are descendents of selectionParent and sets the GuiService.SelectedObject to the GuiObject with the smallest GuiService.SelectionOrder.

Opens or closes the player Emotes menu.

This method allows developers to disable the built-in notification when a players gameplay is paused. They can then add in their own UI if they wish to customize it.

Developers can query whether the notification is enabled by calling the GuiService:GetGameplayPausedNotificationEnabled() function.
