Hi,

 Do you mean joystick device or touch based joystick?

I assume you mean a device, and that's independant of PlayMaker, Joystick are part of the input system from Unity:

else if it's a touch based joystick, try this:

Hi,

 Can you explain what doesn't work? if it fires errors in the console can you paste them? and what version of Unity are you using?

 Bye,

Im using the latest version of unity 5. here are the errors:

Assets/PlayMaker Custom Tools/mobileJoystickControls/JoystickBridge.js(10,10): BCE0004: Ambiguous reference 'Tooltip': HutongGames.PlayMaker.TooltipAttribute, UnityEngine.TooltipAttribute.

Assets/PlayMaker Custom Tools/mobileJoystickControls/JoystickBridge.js(5,2): BCE0004: Ambiguous reference 'Tooltip': HutongGames.PlayMaker.TooltipAttribute, UnityEngine.TooltipAttribute.



Thanks for being so responsive

Hi,

 ok, I see, yes indeed, it's an old script that needs to be upgraded for Unity 5.

but, I have a better idea would you be ok if I do this using the new UI system? it will be easier, more performant and will last in time for the future versions of PlayMaker.

Have you done it yet?

[jeanfabre]

Hi,

 yep Announcement is here

It's on the Ecosystem

 I made the joystick as a prefab, so it's ready to use. Check the sample to see how to get the values from the joystick.
