OUYA & Playmaker

derkoi · June 2013

I'm not a programmer & use Playmaker to make my games, I get by every now & then by programming Playmaker actions & I've managed to program a OUYA button action for my game. It works really well.

Anyway I've been trying all day to get the Axis controls working and I can't seem to get it working. I've been using various examples with no joy. Can someone point me in the direction of some code I can use that gets the X & Y Axis of the joystick & stores them in floats? Thanks

Okay so here's how the input works from script:

Unity - Example - ShowUnityInput - Part 1

And then I have plans to add a PlayMaker example where you don't have to write code at some point.

Thanks Tim, I think i'm doing everything right but it's not working, could you please take a quick look at my code? Thanks

Get OUYA Axis Playmaker Action

tgraupmann · June 2013

Sorry. I get a 403 can't access. You need to use the share link or something...

derkoi · June 2013

Whoops. Here you go.

It's been a long while since I did PlayMaker scripting. I did record some videos for my future self when I got back to it.

1) using the GUI, in the first part to show scripting the same actions next

2) and the scripting part

Hmm thanks, but I don't know how videos of animating a cube between 2 points is going to help with my OUYA Axis playmaker action? I figured you could take a look at my script and maybe spot something that I've missed regarding reading the input from the OUYA controller?

tgraupmann · June 2013

Yeah I realize it's simplistic but it's to refresh my cobwebs. Since in the scripting I was using PlayMaker actions and maybe looking at the source for the interpolation actions would show the methods that need to be implemented.

Can you give me a line of code that would bring the X & Y value of an OUYA joystick to two float values please? Along with any other lines i'd need to add in awake or where ever to make it work, then I can make the playmaker action?

Thanks

OuyaExampleCommon.UpdateJoysticks();

OuyaExampleCommon.GetAxis("LX", player1);

OuyaExampleCommon.GetAxis("LY", player1);

or

OuyaExampleCommon.GetAxis(OuyaSDK.OuyaKeyCode.LX, player1);

OuyaExampleCommon.GetAxis(OuyaSDK.OuyaKeyCode.LY, player1);

derkoi · June 2013

So, something like this should work?

public float XAxis = 0f;
public float YAxis = 0f;

void Update (){

            XAxis = OuyaExampleCommon.GetAxis("LX", OuyaSDK.OuyaPlayer.player1);
            YAxis = OuyaExampleCommon.GetAxis("LY", OuyaSDK.OuyaPlayer.player1);
}

void FixedUpdate (){

     OuyaExampleCommon.UpdateJoysticks();
    }

tgraupmann · June 2013

yes, although I prefer using the enums vs the string values so there's no typos.

derkoi · June 2013

Hmmm it's not working in my playmaker action so I must be doing something wrong.

derkoi · June 2013

Tried this script on it's own without playmaker & it's still not working, any ideas please?

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class OUYA_Drone_Controls : MonoBehaviour {

    public float J1XAxis = 0f;
    public float J1YAxis = 0f;

    public float J2XAxis = 0f;
    public float J2YAxis = 0f;

        private void Start()
    {
        Input.ResetInputAxes();
    }

    void Update () {

        J1XAxis = OuyaExampleCommon.GetAxis("LX", OuyaExampleCommon.Player);
        J1YAxis = OuyaExampleCommon.GetAxis("LY", OuyaExampleCommon.Player);
        J2XAxis = OuyaExampleCommon.GetAxis("RX", OuyaExampleCommon.Player);
        J2YAxis = OuyaExampleCommon.GetAxis("RY", OuyaExampleCommon.Player);

    }

    void FixedUpdate () {

        OuyaExampleCommon.UpdateJoysticks();

    }
}

How many controllers do you have? Maybe you are using Controller #2?

This script is attached to a GameObject in the scene?

It should totally work.

Did you use the menu OUYA->Use OUYA Input Settings and reopen the project?

derkoi · June 2013

I just have the one OUYA controller. The script is attached to my player object in the scene & I did use the OUYA input settings. I'm on Unity v4 & was only getting72 inputs mapped like what was mentioned in the other post so I updated the input settings to the full 121 but that didn't make a difference.

What I'm doing now is starting a project from scratch that should just show the X & Y values on screen using the same above code. I think it might be something in my existing game... I'll post back with the results

tgraupmann · June 2013

And in your initial scene the OuyaGameObject has "UseLegacyInput" set to false OFF, correct?

derkoi · June 2013

That's what it was! UseLegacyInput was on. The joysticks are now working however my button mapping is different so I'll have to go in there and change that.

Thanks Tim

Howdy, Stranger!
