New Release: Controller Update 🕹️

Announcements

Prob any that you can hook up via usb or bluetooth

62

No I meant in the behavior, does A mean A on Xbox or A on Switch?

63

ps4, xbox, and nentendo all have a similar button layout

64

It is whatever the controller sends as “button 1”, which on PS is an “X”, Xbox is an “A”, etc. You’ll have to test it to see what your specific controllers map to.

For flipping:
speed number>filter(less than 0)
Pass:
flip(flip)
Fail:
flip(back)

For animations:
Controller(left stick x)>animation

Yeah, sure - but then it will look pretty similar to what @JR01 posted :slight_smile:

how would I rotate a weapon with the right analog stick? I’ve found a way for it to work when the camera is static, but if it moves at all, It doesn’t seem to work.

I added a new level to the example I posted above, that one has a spaceship that rotates. This is the rotate logic I used:

Cool, Thanks, but I probably should have been a bit more specific. I have a game where a weapon points directly at the mouse. do you know how I would do something like that (mousemove>pointat) with the right stick?

74

I modified the AngleTo bundle to point in the direction the stick is pointing at.
Here’s the test I’ve been using, but I plan to make it an official example later:

ahaha I appreciate the thought, but maybe I should add controller support to my next game. I’m always afraid to mess up with the games that are already finished.

It does work with Nintendo Switch.

How do I make it so holding the stick right makes me keep going?

I posted an example of using the controllers for movement in this thread above. @JR01 posted an example above as well.
