How to make Xbox 360 controllers work with game maker

[0513mgp]

u have to set up the controller with xpadder ill show you how then ill show you all how to make the joysticks work

[DKC1011]

How should i figure out the arrow keys?. I have a thrustmaster PS2/Compute compatable controller. and there is no numbers allocated on the arrow keys.

[megaluizer]

friend, as you do to put that image name alongside the title of your video.

[xLightningWolFx]

"you can do anything with it" um hmm well I have a game where you use the pad, you can move U,D,L,R, but there is no function for when you release it, i want it so i can move, but if i release the jeep or guy stops not continuesly keeps going....i have a usb controler

[garbman666]

it does not work at all

[stickmanbrains]

Is there a way that... instead of changing the sprite, you can get the button to initiate an event for an object? Such as moving around and shooting in a side scroll game. Like what's the line of code for that? I know a little Javascript but it doesn't help in this case...

[willshed512]

So wait, let me get this right,

Since yellow equals 5, does that mean I put:

If joystick_check_button(5,5)

of

Iff joystick_check_button(1,5)

[stickmanbrains]

@willshed512 (1,5) The first digit in that expression is the controller number (1), the second digit (5) is the button number. So anything going into player 1's controller would be (1,X)

[theawesomejockepock1]

this may sound like a stuped question but can you plug in a wire to a wireless xbox360 controller?

[Harvtarv]

So, if 360 DDR Dance Mats work, can we make a Dance Dance Revolution Simulator from Game Maker 8 with A REAL DANCE MAT?!??

P.S. You should give us a tutorial on how to make DD... *Looks at GH on GM Tut* Oh, Never mind. :P

[mrfredd8]

can you do something like this whit a wii controller and a bluethoth adapter?(like in the dolphin emulator)

[RETRODANIEL360]

I already know that you could conect a controller but not that you could play it in game maker

so it works like a joystick

now tha question is an you make the game converter so you can play it on a real x box or play station

[RETRODANIEL360]

I already know that you could conect a controller but not that you could play it in game maker

so it works like a joystick

[RETRODANIEL360]

I already know that you could conect a controller but not that you could play it in game maker

[brutaka359]

Does it work with a dualshock 2 (PS2 controler) please reply! :D

[Stevmay09]

@brutaka359 If it can plug into your computer via USB, then, Yes.

[supermario886438]

@brutaka359

yes you have to buy an extra that theres a usb with a ps2 controller plugger

[HotPotatoProduction]

What are the button #'s for up and down?

[brutaka359]

@chavmusher If your a girl no.

[xLightningWolFx]

@chavmusher ._.

[Bolandm56]

i did what you said, it worked its just that when i let the button go on my rockband guitar for ps2 it doesnt switch back to the original sprite, can you help me out?

[ratchetman4]

@Bolandm56 make a timeline. first make step 0,next put change spirte and make the subimage -1 and speed whatever i recomend 0.5. Then make a step 1 and change sprite again but this time this is the sprite that comes after you let go of the button or anolog like if you walk of couse if you let go of the anolog you want him to stop doing the walk animation and add to your object. Did I help?

[ratchetman4]

@Bolandm56 also don't use codes just go under mouse and go to joystick it's much easier and faster.

[FrozenMasters]

if you develop a game with those codes and try play it on xbox, does it work???

[Stevmay09]

@FrozenMasters No. the games do not work on a real Xbox. you can plug the controllers into the computer.

[silverbas]

can you use a psp and a connector cable and connect it to the computer

[ploerii]

can you do that with a gamecube ore ps2 xd?

[Earwigs1]

does this work with an ps3 controller the same way as xbox 360

[shapeworkstudios1]

@Earwigs1 ya just the numbers are different here they are

x=2

square= 1

triangle=4

circle=3

[supermario886438]

@shapeworkstudios1

thats correct beacuse i have a saitek dual controller

[rexfurry]

NICE! I do (^_^)-b

[rexfurry]

Does this work with an umm, n64 controler?

[Stevmay09]

if it can plug into your computer.

[GlitchDetector]

i have the GAMESTOP ADVANCE JOYPAD and when i take joystick 1 UP i can use the D-pad and the thumbstick

[crazimator]

can a ps3 controller work?

[95pivotman]

can i do it with my wireless conntroller with a wired USB charger?

[Irockz707]

can you do it with wireless controllers?

[rockrulerdude]

Yes. Wireless controllers work pretty much the same in this regard. I've tried

[scozzmiester97]

how come whenever i let go of the left stick the sprite keeps moving?

[joshsora2000]

very useful and works really well TY!

one thing i got a an error on STEP events on all of the objetcs so i deleted all the step events and just replaced them with MOUSE > JOYSTICK 1 > anything

[stanhurxxx]

can you please make a tutorial on how to do this with a wii controler??

[mugenfan87]

it doesnt work with a 360 controller connected to pc with usb

[Kyorere23]

is it possible to do this with games you didn't make?

[spawnova]

no because they are not setup with joystick functions

[justusjamie]

does an original XBOX controller work?

[joshsora2000]

yes i use a LOGIC 3 controller (original XBOX controller) and it works as sweet as a nut!

[joshsora2000]

i meant to reply to  JUSTUSJAMIE

[theonlinegamers]

[stupidapeman456]

computer game controller?

[spanner206]

[spanner206]

[spanner206]

[DaytonaEggnog]

[WasabiMadhouse]

You, my friend, are a genius.

[CheatMod]

[romrolando]

[MrCars240]

:O Thank You!!!

[ThePivotCinema]

is it possible to make a game maker game work on an xbox 360?

[sarCAsum0]

[romrolando]

i have a logitech ps2 model controller would the steps be the same or alittle different? i need to know if anything

[bydnv]

also mine isnt working are my four lights suppost to be flashing or???

[bydnv]

how would you make it use analog stick so you could make it shoot in the direction you want it to

[adhgarra]

could u do this with ps3 controllers?

[Stevmay09]

you can do it with any controller that has a USB end.

[EvilCupcakeStudios]

u need voice in more of your vids. :l

[Stevmay09]

i used notepad in only my earlier videos.

after i got a mic, i never have used notepad since.

[alexthegamer99]

what would A be for an xbox 360 controller

[sinstarxxx]

A would be 1,1 like he said in the video =]

[Tablekorner]

do you just plug in your 360 conroller or do you have to install something???

[EvilCupcakeStudios]

i think you have to install something.

[Stevmay09]

just plug the controller intro your computer, and it'll show the "Found new hardware" Wizard.

[Tablekorner]

yea but at my house idont have internet so icant install shit

[SuperCrazyMaster]

umm if you dont have internet how come youare on youtube?!?!?!!?!?

[Stevmay09]

because he could have been at a friends house.

[Salien1999]

He could be on his cell-phone

[Tablekorner]

... wasted time making a game you should of had one made ...

[PurpleCheeseMan]

That's cool!

Now I gotta get an X-box! LOL!

[carzdude1000]

can you do this with anything that has a USB to it for instance like a camcorder???

[Stevmay09]

it has to be some sort of controller.

[carzdude1000]

one with up down left right and select buttons???

[spudzy916]

fuk me ty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[thegamersheep]

VERY NICE! Just a quick note; you should make a video response to this that shows how to use all of the buttons. eg. back, start, xbox button, LT, etc etc.

[Stevmay09]

i assume that start, select, and the guide button would be under "Button 6, 7 and 8"

[leojisgod]

nice work stevmay ive wanted this FOREVER

[theshadowmoose]

Actually, using gii-mote, you CAN use a wii mote!

=P

[AIG0801]

can you do this with a PS3 or Wii?

[Stevmay09]

you can use a PS3 controller if it has a USB end,

and there's a game maker extention that lets you use wii remotes

[Masterofgames021]

can you give me the site?

[Stevmay09]

it's on

gmc . yoyogames . com

just go to the "Entending game maker" Section

and you'll find "Giimote".

it's supposed to let ou use wii remotes,

but i have never used it before.

[downwithtrolls]

Well, the only think i wait now is a tutorial about the Wiimote xD

[thepog]

You know this tutorial got me thinking. Since Xbox360s run with Direct X (hence the "X") and Game Maker uses Direct X, could you get a Game Maker Game on you Xbox?

[Stevmay09]

possibly, if you sent the EXE file to your X-Box.

[thepog]

True, but you'd probably need to trick your xbox into running it XD.

[spudzy916]

so your saying if i file formatted a exe file into a direct x file il be able to play a game maker game on my xbox

[Stevmay09]

you could probably just send the EXE file to your Xbox, and run the file.

i highly doubt it would work, though.

[spudzy916]

it doesnt work i just tried it im trying to find out how to file format it

[mugenfan87]

you could try saving it as a xbox file when u make a stand-alone exeucutable

[bydnv]

if you find out how to do it and tell me I will send money to you paypal

[thepog]

Probably not, but there might be a mod in the future to do it.

[atz1998]

why is this rated 3 and 1/5 ???

5/5 for me!

[Stevmay09]

because someone downrated it

[atz1998]

oh ya! this works with ps3 contrllers right? if you plug in a usb cord. also, what if you want to make controller joystick AVAILIbLE but not needed? also, sorry if i'm nagging, but if you know how, PLEASE answer my question on ur guitar hero tutorial.

:) thanks

[AAdurac]

[FlyingSausagePro]

[psyguy08]
