user settings

The UserGameSettings is a singleton class found inside of the UserSettings singleton. It holds various persistent settings relating to how the user wants to control their camera, and their character.

You can access this object from a LocalScript via:


UserSettings():GetService("UserGameSettings")

This object is intended to be used on the client only, as it serves no purpose on the server. It will also reflect your own settings when testing in Roblox Studio.

Code Samples

UserGameSettings Listener

local gameSettings = UserSettings().GameSettings
local function onGameSettingChanged(nameOfSetting)
-- Fetch the value of this setting through a pcall to make sure we can retrieve it.
-- Sometimes the event fires with properties that LocalScripts can't access.
local canGetSetting, setting = pcall(function()
return gameSettings[nameOfSetting]
end)
if canGetSetting then
print("Your " .. nameOfSetting .. " has changed to: " .. tostring(setting))
end
end
gameSettings.Changed:Connect(onGameSettingChanged)

Methods

GetCameraYInvertValue

Returns the camera's Y-invert value.


Returns

GetOnboardingCompleted

Checks whether or not the given onboarding has been completed yet, which is useful for avoiding showing the onboarding animation again.

If onboardingId is not one of the accepted IDs, an error is thrown.

The onboarding process is one-way. This means that, as a developer, you can force the onboarding process to completion but cannot reset it.

Currently, this function only accepts DynamicThumbstick, and it is used to persistently track whether or not the player has finished the tutorial for the Dynamic Thumbstick control scheme. If onboardingId is not one of the accepted IDs, an error is thrown.

The onboarding process is one-way. This means that, as a developer, you can force the onboarding process to completion but cannot reset it.
