Description

This package has scripts for quickly implementing gamepad support in your projects! Check out some of the cool features this project can provide.

• Automatic Gamepad Detection: Plugin a supported gamepad then it will automatically create a new player object for that controller to control!
• Well documented

Why did I make this?

• I got tired of rewriting code for adding controller support to my games. I wanted something quick to implement and easy to digest. This provided a baseline for quickly defining all the variables possible when it came to introducing controllers into my games. Since every aspect of the controller is tied to a variable, this made it easy to implement support for gamepads.

What does this do?

• In a nutshell, the scripts define variables for checking inputs tied to gamepads. The line of code for if gamepad_button_check_pressed(gamepad,gp_face1) is simplified to if buttonAPress this is done by adding controller_initiailize(id_of_controller); to the create event of your object you want to add controller support to.

Why should I use this one?

• Maybe because you want to try it out. Not saying this is the best option, but it's a quick start to adding controller support to your games.

I already created static controls for my game, how difficult would it be to join this with my project?

• Depending on how you coded your project, adding a simple or [variable from my script] will allow your game to accept the input you coded plus the controller. This would allow both to control that feature of your game.

• Example: keyJump = keyboard_check_pressed(vk_spacebar); if keyJump or buttonAPress { //Allow the object to jump}

The player objects generated will tell you which button if any are being pushed by their respective controllers.
