Help with gamepad mouse aim?

Hello everyone, I started implementing gamepad controls yesterday and the aiming is kicking my ass... I usually am not bad at figuring things out on my own, but right now I'm not sure where to go from here.

Here is a recording of what I have so far:

In a nut shell, I want the aim (center of the red circle) to stop at the extremity of the viewport minus the HUD on the right. See the screenshot below:

And I'm using this example project: dforms.ca/downloads/GamepadMouseAimDemo.capx

Thank you for your assistance!

Hi Allan, thank you for your reply. I don't know why the links don't work? They work fine when I paste them in the URL bar.

Indeed, pretty sure I will have to use clamp to stop it from going under the HUD. But, I need to resolve my main issue first which is moving the cursor all over the viewport and making sure it follows the player.

looks like a mix of Contra and Rush'n Attack !

Haha yes sir! Actually, it's a hybrid of the original Metal Gear games and Contra with some others thrown in the mix Rush'n Attack being one of them. All the assets will be modified. I'm working on the gameplay and the overall mechanics of the game first. Many of the assets are already originals.

Here is more gameplay.

I made a breakthrough. It's still pretty broken, but I should be able to figure things out.
