Title: Any Button Store String Action?
Post by: oishiiniku on July 13, 2017, 04:47:08 AM

Hi there,

I'm trying to store the string values from Xbox 360 controller buttons when they are pressed. I tried using the 'Any Key Store String' action, but this only seems to store keyboard input. I guess I need an action that returns a string based on button mappings in my project's InputManager. Is there an action like this already? Or is there another way to store the string for any button pressed? Maybe a custom version of 'Get Button Down' that has the option of storing the button's string?

Thanks,

Nick.

Hi,
Its a unity limitation so i can't make an any button to string, but i did make a custom 'get key down' for you
You still need to have 1 action for each button but the key (keycode) name  (including mouse and joystick buttons) you can store in a string now.

That's awesome! I should have a fairly finite amount of buttons  I'm listening out for, so this is a good solution.

Thanks so much!
