Player Camera is moving using X on gamepad but can't figure out how to get it moving on y axis

As the title says, I'm currently working on getting the gamepad joystick to move the camera for the player to look ahead a little. It works on the X axis, but I can't get the Y axis to work properly.

I've attached a screenshot of the functions I'm doing on the sprite that is invisible for the camera. Please let me know if anyone has a tip. Screens or written out what I need to do would be super helpful!

I can also lend my file if need be.

Ok so I tried even making the sprite have 8 directional input and still not getting anything from the joysticks in vertical. Screenshot and file attached.

If you want to limit it to L/R/U/D only then this will do it smoothly.

Also check out this demo:

howtoconstructdemos.com/aiming-with-gamepad-analogue-stick-or-mouse-capx

This will give you a 360° look around limited to 100px from the player position without the need for any behaviours.

This is exactly what I'm looking for thank you!

yeah I don't do so great with scripts so I try to figure it out with behaviours.

calminthenight, did you do that in the project file? I'm having trouble finding the system "set stickangle" function.

Do you have any other addons that are great for 2D platformers? I'm obviously very noob.

stickangle is just a local variable I created so you use the system set variable action.

The conditions are just System Evaluate Expressions.

Have a go at it and let me know if you can't figure it out and I'll put the project file up.

For sure! I'm giving it a go as I write this. You seem like a really knowledgeable person with Construct, is there a way to stay in contact past this post? Discord maybe? Figure since I'm a noob I might post here a lot and wondered if there's commmunity outside of this forum or other ways to connect.

Posting in the forum is the best way to get responses. There are plenty of people far more knowledgable than I. I'm usually always lurking

For sure,

Ok I took a stab at it and this is what I got.

The camera seems to be stuck moving to the right though. The controls work, it just snaps to 100pixels to the right of the character so it seems off center when you let go of the right joystick.

Events look good. Upload your project file again.
