[PLUGIN] Input System v0.96b (21/03/2011): Keyb+Mouse+Joy

I don't think it's the plugin that's glitchy with the modal layout object, I think it's the modal layout object that's glitchy with everything else. It has a lot of bugs and as such I recommend not using them.

How are they that glitchy? I've never had much of a problem with them with anything else. Just one of two glitches, but they've been fixed. I don't see anything else wrong with them.

'On left mouse clicked' isn't properly recognized, sometimes they wouldn't open properly, the number of them in the layout was counted incorrectly, and even once upon closing a modal layout the underlying layout began running the wrong event sheet, and I've also heard other people mention some stuff I can't remember.

It may be glitchy, but I will look into it.

Ok it worked with 2 InputSystems, one for each layout, so you have to pass InputSystem configuration using Get/Set control configuration data and a temporary variable. Not very clean, but that should work

Meanwhile, when I was testing this layout system, sometime It crashes with this message:

"You can't have a layout object set to view it's own layout!".

My example is here:

How can I disable/ignore the controls?

If you mean to have a specific control not triggered at will, you can't. You have to manage it in your cap file or clear all controls and set only the controls you need.

I could add this functionality.

The other day I was looking into removing a specific control, figured that I couldn't and ended up doing what you mentioned. Having this functionality would improve Input System even more, so hopefully you'll add it in a future version. Would be very much appreciated.

Ok, it wil be added in the next version (coming soon )

Hi all,

Does any one tried the Force Feedback feature? I would like to know what you think of it.

BTW, can an admin move my thread to "Work-in-progress addons" please?

Thanks.

Thanks for creating this plugin it works really well for implementing controllers

I think i've found a bug though, when assigning buttons. (Maybe other controls)

If you assign a control say

Name of control "ButtonX"

Device type "Joystick"

Device component type "Button or key"

Component number for buttons, sliders, POV and 3DVector "35"

This should assign button 35 on a controller to the control "ButtonX" however it seems like if your controller doesn't have a 35th button the game/program will crash.

I'm not sure if this will happen with other controls like assigning a DPad or analogue stick control that doesn't exist on a controller as both the controllers i own have both.

You can see this in action if you edit one of the buttons in Input System example 2, change say "button4" / Component number for buttons, sliders, POV and 3DVector "4" to 35.

Also the controller has to be plugged in.

Thank you, I've found and corrected the bug.

So now, if value is too big, it will take the biggest one (e.g. last button number).

New release 0.93b ready.

Wow thanks for the quick bug fix

I've just tested this in my game and the input system example 2, no crashes or errors.

If i find any other bugs I'll let you know and detail them here, excellent work.

Also I was wondering, is it ok to use this plugin in a commercial game?

Yes you can.

I use the same Licence as Contruct (GPL).

What is the difference between this plugin and the object mouse/keyboard, already present in Construct?

(I've already noticed in your description that it supports joystick.)
