Problems init Gamepad

[Jendrik]

hi everybody.

I´m trying to get my gamepad on work. I´ve tested it in the examples from phasers main page. So I´m really sure, that it works in the framework.

But my

console.log("Gamepad connected", this.game.input.gamepad.pad1.connected)

always says: "false"

(Keyboard input works fine in a different state)

 

I can´t find the reason. Maybe anybody could help me?

 

this code is in my create:

this.game.input.gamepad.start();this.pad = this.game.input.gamepad.pad1;

in update:

 if (this.pad.isDown(Phaser.Gamepad.XBOX360_DPAD_LEFT) || this.pad.axis(Phaser.Gamepad.XBOX360_STICK_LEFT_X) < -0.1)    {        this.player.x--;    }    if (this.game.input.gamepad.isDown(Phaser.Gamepad.XBOX360_DPAD_RIGHT))    {        this.player.x++;    }    if (this.pad.isDown(Phaser.Gamepad.XBOX360_DPAD_UP) || this.pad.axis(Phaser.Gamepad.XBOX360_STICK_LEFT_Y) < -0.1)    {        this.player.y--;    }    if (this.pad.isDown(Phaser.Gamepad.XBOX360_DPAD_DOWN) || this.pad.axis(Phaser.Gamepad.XBOX360_STICK_LEFT_Y) > 0.1)    {        this.player.y++;    }    if (this.game.input.gamepad.isDown(Phaser.Gamepad.XBOX360_A))    {        this.fireBean();    }    if (this.pad.justReleased(Phaser.Gamepad.XBOX360_)    {        this.player.scale.x += 0.01;        this.player.scale.y = sprite.scale.x;    }

after trying with "pad.isDown" I tried also "game.input.gamepad...". Thats the reason for my "code-mix".

 

Thanks for your help by noobing me arround ;-)

nobody an idea?

Some gamepads only register as connected after you press a button.

hi wayfinder,

true, but same gamepad works in the examples from the Phaser page :-(

[Jendrik]

I´ve found another way to use gamepad (everything in "update")

if (navigator.getGamepads) {	this.gamepads = navigator.getGamepads();	if(this.gamepads) {        this.gamepad = this.gamepads[0];	}

and this (example) for movement:

if (this.gamepad) {	if (this.gamepad.buttons[15].pressed) {//walk right	     this.player.body.velocity.x = +250;         }...}

could be better but it works. So what ;-)
