So I’m trying to bind an action to a button on a gamepad but it doesn’t seem to work. My colleague who has a controller to test says it doesn’t work. I use this article to help me program it. They also use DS4Windows and a PS4 controller so maybe that’s causing the issue? I’m not sure

Where’s your script?
No one can help you if we don’t know the code you wrote. Plus, with that, we can’t tell if it’s a problem with a script or your colleague’s computer.
We need to see the script and the output first. We have no idea how to help unless you show us.
Oh yeah sorry about that here it is. Also there is no errors in the output:
game:GetService("UserInputService").InputBegan:connect(function(input, processed)
if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.Gamepad1 then
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.ButtonL2 then --When the gamepad left trigger is pressed
sprintCharacter(true) --Sprint
end
end
end)
game:GetService("UserInputService").InputEnded:connect(function(input, processed)
if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.Gamepad1 then
if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.ButtonL2 then --When the gamepad's left trigger is released
sprintCharacter(false) --Stop sprinting
end
end
end)

Have you tried debugging? Like using print? That could help you if your function is actually running.
Yep and the print statements aren’t being called
Can you show me where you placed the print statements?
I placed them right under the InputBegan and InputEnded lines
What kind of script are you using? If you’re using a server script, that might be the problem as I believe that UserInputService can only be used on the client (prove me if I’m wrong).
Nope I’m using a local script inside starter player scripts
Try using ContextActionService instead and binding print functions to your gamepad inputs if it’s any different
I just tried that and still it does not work
Try placing a print outside all of your functions to decide if your script is actually running.
Tested that and the script is being run
