XboxController - XInputDotNetPure - how to get button "down".

Questions & Answers
1

I'm using XInputDotNetPure libary for Xbox controller on unity.

it seems that if I do that code:

state = XInputDotNetPure.GamePad.GetState(playerIndex);

if(state.Buttons.A == XInputDotNetPure.ButtonState.Pressed)

it will return true every frame that button is pressed, and I am looking something of a "if(buttonDOWN)" functinality - that means, something that returns true only on a single ( first) frame the button is pressed.

any helpers?

A little late to the party, but try something like this:

public bool GetButtonDown()
{
    //Don't want to spam the button press, so we limit it to downCount <= 1
    //so that it will act like Input.GetKeyDown
    if ( downCount>= 1 )
	    return false;
		
    downCount += 1;
    return bDown;
}

“downCount” is a globally defined variable and “bDown” is whatever the button is. In your case, it’d be “state.Buttons.A == XInputDotNetPure.ButtonState.Pressed”
