Checking for Gamepad input within a Gamepad input?

I’m looking to check if someone is pressing ButtonB, then also check if they’re pressing ButtonX. ButtonB is an attack, and ButtonX is a dash.

If this is done correctly, It’ll return end when you press X during B.

You press B to do the attack. But I don’t want people to dash during the attack.

I suppose what you can do is make a variable like:

local Bdown = false

Then make it true when B is down. Then while that is happening you can see if X gets pressed and do whatever you want.

The scripts are separate. So Bdown = false wouldn’t exactly work. This is why I was hoping I could register it based on inputs.

Then you can use a bool value?

I tried that before and it didn’t work. I guess I’ll do it again. Thanks.

I think what you are looking for is this:

UserInputService:IsGamepadButtonDown

So in your dash script, check if ButtonB is down before you allow them to dash. No need to set a variable for it.

I was looking into that, but it confused me a bit. But I guess this IS the real answer.

The basic jist of the script is this…

local userInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")


local function performDash()
	if userInputService:IsGamepadButtonDown(Enum.UserInputType.Gamepad1,
		Enum.KeyCode.ButtonB) == true then
		return
	end

	-- Perform Humanoid Dash Ability
end

The only drawback is that you will have to figure out which gamepad is active.

This is INSANELY helpful. Thank you so much! Does this check have to be a local function?

I always put local function. You can use just function if you want. Doesn’t really hurt anything that I’ve seen.

Is there a list of all the Gamepads?

If you go through the list of methods that UserInputService provides, there are a number of gamepad methods:

Are but a few.
