How do I control diferent instance sprite with gamepad

As I can control 4 instances of the same sprite with 4 different gamepads?

I want gamepads automatically detect and assign each instance a gamepad.

The behavior they have is platform.

Thx a lot!

gamepad compare axis (gamepad 0, "left analogue stick", value < 0 )

sub event Sprite.Name = "player1" -> (8 direction) simulate "Left" movement

gamepad compare axis (gamepad 1, "left analogue stick", value < 0 )

sub event Sprite.Name = "player2" -> (8 direction) simulate "Left" movement

etc etc...

So each gamepad has to get assigned its control inputs, then it applies them to each player

therefore gamepad 0 is all associated to sprite "player 1" , and gamepad 1 is all associated with player 2 etc etc

there's a fancier way of setting up reusable functions, but give that a go first.

Thank you very much for your answer. Now I is clearer. I will investigate how to do it functions.

And if I find solution I upload capx.

Hurra!

Here is the capx.

You can control x instances of a sprite with x gamepads!

I used a function to do this.

Congratulations! That's a great way to solve the issue!
