GameMaker Studio 2 Tutorial [ADVANCED] - Alternate main menu button selection - [Episode #5 Part B]
26Subscribe: ►
In today's tutorial what I cover is how you can configure the existing button system we set up in part 5 to use more of a controller type input. This involves checking the 'HoverValue' variable contained in both the obj_button objects and the obj_button_spawner object. Each instance of obj_button has its own unique 'HoverValue' and this is determined by the amount of instances of obj_button in the room. The obj_button_spawner object then has it's own unique 'HoverValue' that is compared with the currently selected obj_button instance, to trigger its function.
If you want to use controller input in your game, you would simply have to re-bind the current up and down keys in the con_input object. (The reason I didn't in this tutorial was because I didn't have one to hand). More about controller input can be found in GameMaker 2's documentation:
