Hey guys<\/p>\n

Seeing quite a few multiplayer games, I haven’t had the time to play them all, but I’m wondering if you guys have any tips on how best to implement controller support (for Unity)?<\/p>\n

My own game No More Boxes<\/a> basically just uses two keyboard control sets for P1 and P2, and then set up two joystick supports for joystick 1 and 2, mapped directly to xBox 360 controller buttons. For Mac.<\/p>\n

This has many shortfalls:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. The Xbox 360 controller button mapping is different between OS X and Windows natively… Weird.<\/li>\n
  2. People with non-360 controllers (or on the wrong platform) can only change controls via downloading the offline build and going through the Unity built-in launcher.<\/li>\n
  3. Which means the web build is not necessarily the best solution for multiplayer games… Which sucks.<\/li>\n <\/ol>\n

    Does anyone have insights into a better way to do controller support on web version Unity?<\/p>\n

    Thanks guys \":)\"<\/p>","time":"December 26th, 2014 4:33 am","title":"How is everyone doing their controller support?"}
