How to make a joystick axis input equivalent to keyboard input.

Questions & Answers
1

Hi everybody. :slight_smile:
I am making a 2D platformer and I am trying to settle an issue with input. My character moves significantly faster when being moved using a joystick than the keyboard. As you can imagine, this is not acceptable for a game where you need to make a precision landing or a skillful long jump, since the conditions for precision are more difficult and speed is incraesed on the joystick. I don’t want to play a guessing game with the sensitivity scale. Is there a solution for this, please?
Sorry for my ignorance, I am quite new to working with Unity. O:)

you could just make the joystick input “digital” instead of “analog”

something like

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class joystickControl : MonoBehaviour {

// Use this for initialization
bool movingLeft = false;
bool movingRight = false;
public float moveSpeed = 1f;

void Start () {

}

// Update is called once per frame

void Update () {

	if(Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") == 0)
	{
		movingRight = false;
		movingLeft = false;
	}
	if(Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") > 0 )
	{
		movingRight = true;
		movingLeft = false;
	}
	if(Input.GetAxis("Horizontal")< 0 )
	{
		movingLeft = true;
		movingRight = false;
	}

	if(movingLeft)
	{
		transform.position = new Vector3(transform.position.x - (moveSpeed * Time.deltaTime), transform.position.y,transform.position.z);
	}
	if(movingRight)
	{
		transform.position = new Vector3(transform.position.x + (moveSpeed * Time.deltaTime), transform.position.y,transform.position.z);
	}
}

}

ALSO!!!

under input settings (edit>project settings>input), check the “horizontal” axes, and change the gravity on them to 10000 or something. note that there are two horizontal axes one for joystick and one for keyboard.

hope this helps.
