retrieve list of devices (controlers) from PC

Welcome to our brand new Clickteam Community Hub! We hope you will enjoy using the new features, which we will be further expanding in the coming months.

A few features including Passport are unavailable initially whilst we monitor stability of the new platform, we hope to bring these online very soon. Small issues will crop up following the import from our old system, including some message formatting, translation accuracy and other things.

Thank you for your patience whilst we've worked on this and we look forward to more exciting community developments soon!

  • Is this possible? Retrieve list (and names of) devices for example:

    PS4 controller,
    Xbox controller
    Arcade stick

    etc.
    Thanks

    edit: to clarify - list of devices as shown in device manager on a users system.

  • Yeah use a loop and just go through devices 1-16 and retrieve the name of each device. You can store these names in a list object and then later use the list object as a way to reference a specific device by number.

  • If you have "Joystick 2 object" then you might be able to loop through all the controllers and get the name.
    I don't have any controller at the moment so I can't test it.

    But you can see if it works.

    I've tested it with the three pads I have:
    Logitech F710 : Recognised
    Xbox One controller : Recognized
    PS4 Controller : NOT recognized (or better it's recognized as a "wireless controller")

    I've tried in many ways (even installing the DS4Windows driver) but I never suceed to recognize it. That's a pity because the PS4 controller is pretty common.
