Dual Joysticks Support?

by Fiona Counihan · in Hardware Issues · 09/21/2006 (3:43 am) · 2 replies

Hi,

Has anyone out there ever tried to use 2 joystick controls in a Torque Game?

I'm just starting to develop a game where this is going to be essential - if anyone has tried this or knows where I would even start to look for information about integrating them into the engine I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks,
Fi*

Yeah you can deffinately use the two joystick on a 360 controller so I'm going to guess you can use two seperate joysticks.

@Fiona - Torque manages input through its ActionMap system. It is possible to assign certain functions (actions) through multiple input devices. This becomes a little more tricky with mice and keyboards due to OS restraints.

However, joysticks/gamepads can be enumerated:

joystick0
joystick1

Do you have a more detailed description of what each one might do?
