Title: Detect gamepad (new input system)
Post by: nickg84 on September 02, 2023, 12:56:07 PM

Is there a way for Playmaker to detect the controller input (kb+m, Playstation or Xbox gamepads) using the new input system? I just want to define specific icons based on what the player is using.

Ex: Mouse sprite if using a kb+m. X sprite if using a PS gamepad. A sprite if using Xbox.

Is that possible?

Hi.
To support multiple controllers, I highly recommend to get the Rewired asset.
It has playmaker actions and supports many controllers.
It has a controller mapper (for player to change buttons/key)

I have been using it for years already (even before unity 'New Input System')

It has actions to detect if mouse/keyboard is used or joystick.
and when changed it can send a event to change the sprites
