In-Depth Information
By default, by creating a new type of input, the input manager duplicates the bottom
input. So open it and we'll make our changes. Follow these steps to create our new
input:
1. Change the value of the
Name
parameter to
A_360
.
2. Change the value of the
Positive Button
parameter to
joystick button
0
.
Adding a start button and trigger inputs
As you can see, it's fairly easy to add an Xbox 360 input in the input manager. You
can follow the same steps to add the start button; just change the value of the
Name
parameter to
Start_360
and the value of the positive button to
joystick button
7
. For the two triggers, you will need to follow slightly different steps:
1. Change the value of the
Name
parameter to
Triggers_360
.
2. Change the value of the
Sensitivity
parameter to
0.001
.
3. Check the
Invert
parameter.
4. Change the value of the
Type
parameter to
Joystick Axis
.
5. Change the value of the
Axis
parameter to
3rd Axis (Joysticks and Scroll-
wheel).
Adding directional pad inputs
For the directional pad, we'll need to make the horizontal buttons and vertical buttons
separately, but these will both be similar to how we set up the triggers. First, we will
create the horizontal directional pad input:
1. Change the value of the
Name
parameter to
HorizDpad_360
.
2. Change the value of the
Sensitivity
parameter to
1
.
3. Change the value of the
Type
parameter to
Joystick Axis
.
4. Change the value of the
Axis
parameter to
6th Axis (Joysticks)
.
For the vertical directional pad input, you can follow the exact same steps as we
did for the horizontal directional pad input; just change the value of
Name
to
Ver-
tDpad_360
and change the value of
Axis
to
7th Axis (Joysticks)
. This com-
pletes the Xbox 360 Controller inputs; all that's left are the PC inputs.
