Can I use OuyaSDK key codes with native Unity Input?

horriblesoftware · May 2013

Hi Tim,

I'm just starting my game from scratch, and following your examples on the Ouya website, at first I set my input handling code up like this:

private void HandleButtonEvent(OuyaSDK.OuyaPlayer p, OuyaSDK.KeyEnum b, OuyaSDK.InputAction bs)

{

if (b.Equals(OuyaSDK.KeyEnum.BUTTON_O) && bs.Equals(OuyaSDK.InputAction.KeyDown))

{

//Do something

}

...but then after reading here in the forums, I decided to switch to native Unity input handling before going any further. So in my Update() I put:

if(Input.GetKeyDown(OuyaSDK.KeyEnum.BUTTON_O))

{

//Do something

}

And that doesn't work. Unity says "Argument `#1' cannot convert `int' expression to type `string'".

Should I be using your provided key codes when using native Unity input, and if so, how do you recommend I do that? Sorry if this has been answered somewhere else. I know there are a lot of questions about this here on the forums, but I couldn't find a post that clarified this.

Take a look at ShowUnityInput.cs and OuyaExampleCommon.cs where I added example methods so we can still use the keycodes...

I don't think you can use those enums when using the Unity input, this is (basically) what I do:

if (Input.GetKeyDown((KeyCode)OuyaKeyCode.JoystickButton0))

{

}

(or Joystick1Button0, Joystick2Button0, etc.) Button0,1,2,3 = O,U,Y,A, Button4,5 are the shoulder buttons, Button6,7 are clicking the two analogue sticks in, Button8,9,10,11 are the d-pad.

I looked at the examples, but really I'm just looking for the preferred way to do this. I ended up using:

if(Input.GetKey(KeyCode.JoystickButton0))

{

//Do something

}

Which works pretty well.

Right and then based on the Input.GetJoystickNames() you pick which button mapping you want...

Howdy, Stranger!
