Hello! I'm having trouble creating a custom controller stick.
I'm not sure how to set the stick's image outer movement range (not the deadzones), and while I have the same image in the 'pressed' and 'unpressed' folders, the image won't show up.

Is there something I may be doing wrong?

I'm not sure which area you mean with the first part of the question, are you asking for a way to increase/decrease the distance the stick travels when it's moved? I've checked and the images should be importing correctly for pressed and unpressed sticks, both left and right (although the naming of those folders actually means stick and under stick) if you are changing the image with the application open it wont update, you'll need to close and reopen whenever an image is changed.

Sorry for being unclear!
Yeah, customizable travel distance for the stick(s) is what I had in mind.
Also thank you, restarting the software did the trick!

Awesome! I'll add customizable travel distance for sticks in a new version later, it will mean the save file may not be compatible with the new version. :))

Thank you so much for considering it!

I've found something else in the meantime, and wanted to ask if that's intended, or if my computer is acting up...
The graphic for the stick (only the stick, not the base in the 'unpressed' folder' vanishes in these scenarios:

  • tabbing out of / minimizing the application;
  • pressing the stick's button (briefly, when releasing the button);
  • the corresponding deadzone slider is greater than 0 and the stick isn't moved outside of the deadzone range

Here's a reference video of the above.
Feel free to tell me if/when you want it to be deleted!

I think its a quirk of the engine that they reset when you tab back in, ill add an option to always show the stick while its idle. Its intended that it shows then hides when the stick is clicked in to show there was an input and that it hides also when outside the dead zone. But yea, adding that now is easy enough :) did you have any other ideas that might be easy for me to quickly add?

(1 edit)

Aside from maybe adding another image folder for both sticks for when they're being pressed, nothing else is coming to mind; it's a pretty solid application so thanks for creating it in the first place!
But if anything ever comes up again and you're still up for suggestions by then, i'll let you know!

Though I feel like I've already made you work hard enough with my last couple of inquiries, so I'm leaving the rest to you lol
Also PLEASE do take all the time you need!

Nah no worries, most these things are fairly easy to add, i'll be uploaded a new version soon :>

Hi!
Just wanted to say that the new update is just what I was looking for, so thank you lots!!
