Looking for a template.

CaptFinn

Im looking for the most up to date template that works for the PS controllers, or controllers in general. Especially movement with the joystick portion of the controller.

nvm wrong template. But there is some official ones out.

I think i found it http://forums.gamesalad.com/discussion/86681/release-notes-mac-version-of-creator-0-13-14

Creator Templates (Insect Intruders, Big Top Blaster, etc.) now have gamepad support built in.

Im wanting some instruction on how to set up the joystick portion. If anyone knows of a good video or demo that would be great.

I dont know. Im thinking something this sweet. Gamesalad would just make an official template that works best with these controllers. Its their software. who better to make an official template everyone can use.

You mean for a real gamepad, not a vitual one right? If so, check this out:

There is a source template file linked in the description of the video (available at my website).

Nice @jamie_c ! Don't know how I missed this one.

Thanks @Hopscotch

@jaime I watched this video. I am on my cell currently. Some haven't been able to look at the file. But in your video. You focus only on the D pad movements. Is there a video on using the joysticks? and how that use is set up?

jamie_c

@FINNBOGG, in the video at about 4:40 I show how to set up dpad controls directly through a rule. In that same list of attributes there are ones for the joysticks so if you wanted to do side to side movement with the left stick you could set up two rules like these:

Rule:
If Attribute game.Players.Player 1.Left Stick X > 0
Move right

Rule:
If Attribute game.Players.Player 1.Left Stick X < 0
Move left

The sticks 'home' location is 0 so if its pushed right the X amount increases above 0 and if it's pushed left the X amount decreases below 0.

Hope that helps some.

Im looking for full range movement. This is something new to me so I dont know exactly how to explain. The movement I think of is like in the game

gradius.

CaptFinn

Can you test your game in GS viewer, with the playstation/controllers?

CaptFinn

Also..... I only see a option for left and right stick "clicks" not movement.

@FINNBOGG, here is a demo for you. Use the left joystick to move and the X (or A) button to shoot.
