Hey I have bought a few of your items and love them

I am new to gdevelop and purchased your metrovania template and love it can you please give me some advice as how to add gamepad controls instead of the key board im struggling.

Thanks in advance

Hello, thank you for your purchase <3

You can easily add gamepad controls:

Open project manager (Hamburger button in the top left corner) → press on the + button beside the Extensions → search for Gamepads → click on Gamepads (controllers) and click on Install in project → now you can go to the Game scene events → Player mechanics → Movements + Attack → Move → Move left/right/down → and here you will find the movement conditions (using keyboard), you can replace them with gamepad conditions rather than keyboard, or you can add an OR and inside it you can put the keyboard condition + gamepad condition to make the game support both keyboard and gamepad.

i have added the extension and game platform mapper in playercollision and replace the movements with the attached image but itr doesnt work

You dont need the gamepad platform mapper behavior, you just need the Gamepad extension, after that you use the condition.

It works fine to me
If it didn't work for you, then the gamepad extension maybe does not support your gamepad type, create a complete new empty project and test your gameapd in it with gameapd extension.
