How to get individual trigger input using Xbox 360 controller?
Hey all,
I've been wanting to do some stuff with Xbox 360 controllers and was going through and setting up a basic debug scene based off the material found here : http://wiki.unity3d.com/index.php?title=Xbox360Controller
Now I understand that to get the way the triggers normally work you use the "3rd axis" this gets both of the trigger inputs as a range between -1 - +1 with each trigger cancelling each other out when pressed. I have this version working so far.
I know to get the individual triggers I am supposed to use the 9th and 10th joystick axis instead. For some reason when I set it up to do so, even using the same input manager that is in the website it does not work. I might be missing some simple step but currently I am unsure what to do as I get no feed back on the triggers when using axis 9 and 10.
I am using Unity 4.3 currently.
Fixed. For some reason after running the application from within the editor I had to make sure the focus was specifically inside the game window. Every other control was working whilst focus was outside of the window but only once I clicked inside did the triggers work.
Also switched over to Xinput to get rumble working. https://github.com/speps/XInputDotNet
So using the 9th axis and 10th axis worked for both triggers. Verry Good to know thanks.
I just wanted to add that you have to also set the 'Joy Num' in the Input Inspector options. The default is 'Get $$anonymous$$otion from all Joysticks' and you have to change it to a specific Joystick in the dropdown to receive any value from the 9th and 10th axes. Thanks!
I actually need a little help with this, i am using a Xbox One controller in unity and i have everything working except for the triggers, im trying to use RT with Fire 1 for a attack but when i set it to Joystick Axis, Axis as 10, and Joy Num as a random joystick number i still get no response from the trigger. please help me.
@TheOnly1ZombieGamer For right trigger, my settings are
Name: Fire 1
Gravity: 1000
Dead: 0.2
Sensitivity: 1000
Snap: checked
Type: Joystick Axis
Axis: 10th Axis
Joy Num: Get Motion from all Joysticks
Everything else is blank.
If you are setting Joy num to a "random" joystick number, it will not work unless you have that many joysticks and are testing the correctly numbered joystick. So, either set it to Joystick 1 or All Joysticks.
Also, to get responses from the 9th or 10th axis, you must click in the game window to make it active in the editor.
