Game Controllers?

[issacsim]

Hello,

Can game controllers be accessed in scripting?

[Ralph]

No. Only Arduino, Raspberry Pi and ESP32.

Hi,


Actually, there is something in the AM 4.0 BETA that could help:

Code: Select all

function callback(type, index, value)
    print("type = " .. type .. ", index = " .. index .. ", value = " .. tostring(value))
end

joystick_add(callback)

Note that this is NOT officially supported, so no support whatsoever. Also only works on Windows.

I guess it's not currently enabled internally and we will evaluate this feature later, no react in Console
No worries, don't take time on it for the moment, as you already stated @Corjan

If it’s not supported and not in the API is probably best we don’t know about it because now questions will come

This is why I made the check for anyone to know and specified the unavailability, so no need for any additional question

I didn’t mean from you Gilles but myself actually. I’m intrigued now about this and obviously want to know more.

Hi,

Well, it was just a hack I made since I wanted to make a game in AM .
It simply gets the first joystick it can find, and throws all it's events (buttons, axis) in the lua callback.

Thanks !

I will become a customer if it's ever released.

There are no plans to release it,
