Supporting Xbox Controller in plugin?

[DMes71 1]

Does anybody know how to do this? I'm looking to start with just being able to read input from a controller. Are there any examples anywhere to follow? Is this supported with rage alone or do I need more references? Any push in the right direction is appreciated.

Game.IsControllerButtonDown() and the ControllerButtons enum should get you a long way

Don't know how I missed that lol.

Thanks for pointing that out, that should do the trick.

I'll have to keep messing with it, but it doesn't seem to work.  I can't ever get IsControllerButtonDown() to return as true when I'm holding a button down.

Make sure to use a while loop to constantly listen for Button press events

Thanks for the reply.

It's in a loop the code looks something like this:

while (true)
            {
                

                if (Game.IsKeyDown(Keys.E) || Game.IsControllerButtonDown(Rage.ControllerButtons.A))
                {
                    if (((Ped)GetAimedEntity()).Exists() && ((Ped)GetAimedEntity()).IsValid() 
                        && (((Ped)GetAimedEntity()).DistanceTo(Game.LocalPlayer.Character.GetOffsetPosition(Vector3.RelativeFront * 0f))) <= 5f)
                    {}
                                                                                                                                               
           }

I know the loop is working because the if statement passes if I press E.

Game.IsControllerButtonDown() will work first time the controller button is pressed, Game.IsControllerButtonDownRightNow() will return true while its held down
