  • Hello guys:

    I'm trying to assing movements to the Microsoft Xbox gamepad with this code:

    gamepad 0  left analog x axis>0 
                                                          simulate platform pressing right
                                                          set not mirrored
                                                          set Inst var player_state_walk

gamepad 0  left analog x axis<0 
                                                          simulate platform pressing left
                                                          set mirrored
                                                          set Inst var player_state_walk[/code:1ffhx7zi]
But it doesn't seem to work.

Does anyone know what i'm doing wrong?

Thanks for your help.

  • Don't worry about it being a noob question. You could do worse

    It looks right to me. Maybe something else is wrong? Like if you forgot to assign the event sheet, or didn't include it in the one you've assigned. If you upload the .c3p I can have a look, instead of just guessing.

    As for the event sheet I've done like this before:

    Gamepad 0 left analog X axis > 80
->Simulate platform pressing right

Gamepad 0 left analog X axis < -80
->Simulate platform pressing left[/code:1vxfng73]
Alternatively, if you also want keyboard controls, you could make global variables for directions such as:

PlayerMoveRight = 0
PlayerMoveLeft = 0

and then set it up like this:
[code:1vxfng73]Gamepad 0 left analog X axis > 80
OR
Keyboard: ? is down
->Set PlayerMoveRight to 1
Else
->Set PlayerMoveRight to 0

Gamepad 0 left analog X axis < -80
OR
Keyboard: ? is down
->Set PlayerMoveLeft to 1
Else
->Set PlayerMoveLeft to 0[/code:1vxfng73]
And then:
[code:1vxfng73]
PlayerMoveRight = 1
->Simalate platform pressing Right

PlayerMoveLeft = 1
->Simulate platform pressing Left[/code:1vxfng73]
This way you can also throw in D-pad controls or WASD or whatever you want.

Hope you find any of this useful.
