Gamepad Issue

I think I've got it but I don't have a way to test it. Basically it's just a "for" that goes from 0 to gamepad.count. You can set which button is being pressed inside of it.

I have no idea if the pin at the Start of Layout is working also.

edit: Whoops, I forgot to set the angles to gamepad(loopindex,0).

And I forgot to mention, whenever using a for you can use "loopindex" to use it on expressions.

Hey man, thanks! I can confirm that it works with up to 3 controllers by adding a 3rd tank. Great job!

No problem, glad to hear it worked!

I know this is an older post, but I also noticed that if there's any kind of delay on the weapon firing rate, if player 1 is firing then player 2 is unable to fire. If Player 2 is firing, Player 3 is unable to fire, etc.

Example .capx:

Any ideas on a way around this?

I see this mistake a lot with new developers. well maybe not mistake, but just not really effective and doesn't behave the way the developer wants.

Don't nest an Every X seconds under anything. Only use every X seconds at the root. I know it sound like it should work as in

While condition is met then on every X seconds do this.

but that usually doesn't.

Instead you need work another way of handling the problem of next time.

If Gamepad(loopindex) Right Shoulder is down and array(loopindex) < time

then

shoot

array(loopindex) = time + 0.25

This is psuedo code of course. But that's what your looking for.

The problem is that since it's in a loop, you're basically only checking for each controller every 25 seconds (I think).

You could use some sort of cooldown (either a timer behaviour or a plugin) together with the loopindex. Wish I could help more but I don't have two controllers anymore, I'm afraid ):
