    I'm trying to hide a mobile UI menu for those who will play the game on desktop, is there a way to only show the UI screen to mobile players in a Javascript node?

    Thanks in advance, the idea of exporting multiple builds due to not having this implemented seems highly inefficient.

    PS: I'm aware Buildbox works with traditional JS code yet I'm not sure how far I can take it in it's current state. For example, we can't import external JS libraries for usage in games quite yet ;)

    Best option here is to remove or redesign the UI for desktop. Mobile exports can't be installed on desktop and vice-versa, so designing your menu UI specifically for the platform it's intended for is suggested in this case.

    After attempting multiple times I figured this would be the route to take. Thanks for the justification.
