Ouya input from JS?

RaielRaiel Posts: 26Member
in Unity on OUYA
I was tooling along happily, and just realized that all of the Ouya input handler examples are in C#. And here's me having written all of my stuff in JS!

Worst case, I'm now looking at trying to bundle together a struct with which to Send Message the data from the OuyaInputManager over to my JS input collating script, but that's just so... meh. Has anyone else had any luck piping input from the CS side over to JS?

    My first post on the forums =)
    Anyway, yeah, you can access C# stuff in JS stuff and the other way round in unity.
    To be able to do that directly (without using SendMessage etc messaging) you have to make the scripts be compiled in right order.
    You can change the compilation order by putting scripts in certain folders since Unity compiles the content of some special folders in certain order.
    You could put your JS class/ script file into the Plugins folder for example to have it be compiled before the C# script from which you want to send stuff to the JS side.
    Here's more information on that topic:

    I use import OuyaInputManager at the top of my JS script.

    using the OUYA unitypackage make sure that these are in your "Plugins" folder:
    LitJson FOLDER
    OuyaGameObject.cs
    OuyaInputManager.cs
    OuyaNGUIHandler.cs
    OuyaSDK.cs
    UILabel.cs

    Looks like I am going to need to do the same. :( That's going to be a project.

    Well, I've ended up just dragging the all three of the Ouya SDK installed directories under plugins, and things seem to work ok for now, including the Ouya SDK's panels and such editor additions. This makes me rather uncomfortable, as now I'll have to fiddle with it every time I update the SDK.

    I'm really not sure how to determine if things are working either; I can build the OSX version just fine, and I can build an APK just fine that I can run in the emulator. Unfortunately I don't have an Android device with a controller input, and I'm only a regular Ouya backer, so I won't see a kit for a while.

    Hopefully everything is working just fine for the Create gamejam!

    If it wasn't setup properly you would be seeing a DEX error, even on another android device.

    Assets/Plugins/OuyaInputManager.cs(566,81): error CS0246: The type or namespace name `JoystickType' could not be found. Are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?
    and other with 'AxisTypes' and 'AnalogTypes'
    Is anyone can help me with this issue ?

    To be completely sure, I moved every "Ouya" script to the plugin folder. No errors here, although, I can't test it.
