DevComputerMovementMode

Property of: Player

Description:

The DevComputerMovementMode property determines the manner in which a player moves their character when using a mouse-and-keyboard device device. See Enum/DevComputerMovementMode for a description of each movement control mode available. This property cannot be set using a LocalScript (it must be set on the server using a Script).

The default value of this property is determined by StarterPlayer/DevComputerMovementMode.

Note

The word “Computer” in this property name refers to non-UserInputService/TouchEnabled|TouchEnabled devices.
When set to UserChoice, a player can choose between any control mode (except Scriptable) in the Roblox game settings. In general, it is a good idea to allow players to choose their control mode to maximize accessibility.
It is possible to create a custom control scheme by setting this property to Scriptable.
This property does not affect players using a touch enabled device. See Player/DevTouchMovementMode instead.

Code Samples

Setting a Player's Movement Mode (Desktop)

The example demonstrates how to set the movement mode for players on computers.

In this example, we set the movement mode to KeyboardMouse via the Enum/DevComputerMovementMode enum. This means that players on computers control their characters using their keyboard and mouse.
