Actions to get infos from joystick

[blackant]

should be nice to have things like:

connected player 1,2,3,4
disconnected Player 1,2,3,4

so we can setup different menus actions by mouse or joystick

and maybe others actions i don't have reflect about it...

Hi,

 Can you elaborate? do you mean you want to assign a device to a player n your game so that other player device assignment is left untouched as devices are plugged unplugged or selected?

well my idea is simple

when my joystick is connected or disconnected, unity auto detect it and send a message to log window.

i'm wondering how it's possible with playmaker.
also may be usefull to know Wich joystick number is on or off (for battery for exemple)

Hi,

 Are you using the custom actions like GetNextJoystickName?

As for battery life, there is no such thing in Unity, the joystick is either detected or not.

 I would recommand you use InputControl, I made a abstract layer on top where you can assign a joystick to a player, regardless of it's index in the joystick list, which is much better than relying on the order of connections..
