ControlsXPad360 button presses not detected reliably

[HarpSeal1]

I'm trying to get an Xbox 360 controller to work in my project but I'm having trouble detecting buttons presses. Only 1 out of 20 or 30 presses is detected. The triggers and thumb sticks work just fine. I am calling this update function from AppWorldLogic's update function.

public class XboxControls
{
ControlsXPad360 xpad;

  public XboxControls(){
      xpad = new ControlsXPad360(0);
  }

  public void Update()
  {
      xpad.UpdateEvents();
    if(xpad.ClearButton(ControlsXPad360.BUTTON_A) == 1)
    {
      Log.Message("A pressed");
    }	
  }
}

I'm using the .net core api and unigine 2.9. Any ideas? Thanks!

Hello @HarpSeal1,

We'll investigate this in a couple of days.

Thanks.

Excellent, thanks Morbid!

In 2.9 we've changed input system and since this version you need these two classes:

https://developer.unigine.com/en/docs/2.9/api/library/controls/class.inputgamepad?rlang=cs

This code will work:

 public class XboxControls
        {
            private InputGamePad xpad = null;

            public XboxControls()
            {
                if (Engine.input.CountGamePads != 0)
                    xpad = Engine.input.GetGamePad(0);
            }

            public void Update()
            {
                if (xpad == null || !xpad.IsAvailable)
                    return;

                if (xpad.IsButtonDown(InputGamePad.BUTTON.A))
                    Log.Message("Button down: A\n");

                if (xpad.IsButtonPressed(InputGamePad.BUTTON.A))
                    Log.Message("Button pressed: A\n");

                if (xpad.IsButtonUp(InputGamePad.BUTTON.A))
                    Log.Message("Button up: A\n");
            }
        }

Thanks.
