Looking and shooting with controller

Help & Support
1

Hi I’m working on adding controller input to my game I can walk around and jump but i can’t shoot or look around. I was wondering if i can have the controller control the mouse or if i just need to find another method.

Thanks for your time
Sincerely-
William Boersma.

You need another method. The browser can’t control the position of the mouse.

ok if i send you the code could you see how i could change it so i can take controller input as well?

I’m afraid I don’t have the free time to do one to one consulting for this.

@jus.co_ding_me_23 how would I use pointer lock here?

16

inside the initialize function do

`this.app.mouse.on("mousedown",function(){
this.app.mouse.enablePointerLock();
}, this);

if you do that then the controller imaginary cursor, (and the mouse’s real cursor) locks in the middle of the screen so there you go.
It might help with your situation @WilliamBoersma31

Then make your controller rotation. :open_mouth:
