Game Controller support for Unity Metro (aka Windows Store app)

Questions & Answers
1

Hello,

are game controllers currently supported for Unity Metro?

I tested 3 different controllers with my current Windows Store app and it seems like no one is working. All the controllers can be found and tested in the Windows 8 control panel. The Unity method Input.GetJoystickNames() return always an empty array and e.g. Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Joystick1Button0) etc. always returns false.

Google doesnt help :confused:

Any ideas or hints?
I Unity doesnt support this, than I’ll need to go for XInput directly…

Thanks a lot!

Hi,
I was having a look to the Unity 3D 5 new features, and “Windows store app joystick support” is one of them, so it’s seem we’ll have to wait.

Watch: Unity 5 Feature Preview - YouTube, minute 3:30.

Cheers!
