A simple input helper for the Godot Engine.
Features:
- Detects what input device the player is using
- Can tell the difference between a few different gamepads
Copy the input_helper directory into your res://addons/ directory.
Enable InputHelper in project plugins.
Connect your input indicators to the device_changed signal to be notified when the player uses a new input device. For example:
func _ready() -> void:
InputHelper.connect("device_changed", self, "_on_input_device_changed")
func _on_input_device_changed(device: String, device_index: int) -> void:
print("XBox? ", device == InputHelper.DEVICE_XBOX_CONTROLLER)
print("Device index? ", device_index) # Probably 0
There are also a couple of convencience methods to try and guess the key or button attached to an action:
# Get the key name of the first key-based input for the `ui_accept` action
InputHelper.get_key_label("ui_accept")
# Get the button index of the first gamepad-based input for the `ui_accept` action
InputHelper.get_button_index("ui_accept")
