Any Method To Differentiate Between Keyboard Arrow Keys And Direction Pad Of Gamepad #1 ?

[ghost]

Hi,

btn(0)
btn(1)
btn(2)
btn(3)

Above seems to work simultaneously for keyboard arrow keys and gamepad # 1 directional pad.
How would we differentiate between keyboard and gamepad # 1 ?

Let me know, thanks!

Hi,
use key() for keyboard https://github.com/nesbox/TIC-80/wiki/key
use btn() for gamepad https://github.com/nesbox/TIC-80/wiki/btn

Hi,

I tried that but still have below issue:
Both keyboard arrow keys and direction pad of gamepad # 1 trigger btn() events simultaneously?
Is there a method to disable a gamepad when it's not being used by the player?
Thanks!

Unfortunately, there is no method to do this, you can only go to the settings and clear gamepad mapping values.

Hi,

Ok, but this is a bug - can it be fixed in next release?

No, it's not a bug, it's by design, we use keyboard to allow users play a game without gamepad, we have special section in the settings for such purposes called gamepad mapping

Ok, thanks!
