Hi all,
I'm just trying to figure out inputs for gamepad, is it like this?
Input.getGamepad().onPressed(Gamepad.Buttons.A, (key) -> System.out.println(key));
Input.getGamepad().onPoll(Gamepad.Axis.X, (axis) -> System.out.println(axis));
I don't have my gamepad here to test it. So all buttons and axis return float?
Thank you in advance

You can use the events on the ~~~~Gamepad directly. However, if the controller disconnects for some reason you might have to manually reassign these events. A way to circumvent this for games with only one player is to use the events of the ~~~~GamepadManager.
In general, the ~~~~value that is returned by the events depends on the button that was pressed. Some only have a value of ~~~~0 or ~~~~1 (e.g. ~~~~Gamepad.Xbox.A) while axis for example (e.g. ~~~~Gamepad.Xbox.LEFT\_STICK\_Y) provide a value in the range between ~~-1 to ~~1.
Example for control sticks code:
~~```java~~Input.gamepadManager().onPressed(Gamepad.Xbox.LEFT_STICK_Y, pollValue -> { if (pollValue > 0) { System.out.println("MOVE DOWN"); } if (pollValue > 0) { System.out.println("MOVE UP"); } });```` Another example for simple buttons using the non-key-specific event: ```java
Input.gamepadManager().onPressed((button, value) -> {
// for simple buttons, the value doesn't really matter -> no need to check against it
if (button.equals(Gamepad.Xbox.A)) {
System.out.println("A PRESSED");
} else if (button.equals(Gamepad.Xbox.B)) {
System.out.println("B PRESSED");
}
});````

I've now issues with jinput-dx8_64.
JInput isn't packaged in the liti jar right?
I've downloaded it and put in the classpath, I also added jinput-dx8_64.dll to -Djava.library.path="MyPathHere"
But still got:
java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: no jinput-dx8_64 in java.library.path

Any Idea?

The ~~~~LITIengine Releases come with the required native assemblies. Now it highly depends on what's your running configuration where you need to put them. Are you running your game from the IDE or as a packaged jar?
Providing these assemblies in the classpath should be sufficient. If you still get the error, I think that the .dlls are not in the right place for your scenario.

Yes, the actual library is packaged in the LITIengine jar. The native assemblies are shipped separately.
