If you've ever made a menu in your game, you'll know that as soon as you implement gamepad controls things don't work quite as easily as they do with the mouse. This video will help you with that!
In this easy Unity tutorial, I'll show you how to:
- Setup Controls with the Input system (cause using the old Inputs... is gross)
- Setup a handy Input Manager to detect Input with multiple control schemes.
- Create 2 simple menus we can swap between.
- How to set which button is selected first by default when you open a menu (which is the secret sauce to actually setting up gamepad/keyboard navigation in your menu.)
- How to explicitly control button/UI element navigation in your menu
