How to detect xbox controller

How would I go about detecting if the user/player is using the keyboard and mouse or an xbox controller?

 

Use Input.GetJoystickNames(), it will return a string array with the names of any gamepads.

 

I tried using Input.GetJoystickNames() and it always says that I am using the controller, even if it is turned off.

 

Weird, I have a wireless Xbox 360 controller, and it only shows up when it is turned on.

 

Here is what I am currently using and it is providing problems.

Code (JavaScript):

1.  
2. #pragma strict
3.  
4. function Start () {
5.  
6. }
7.  
8. function Update ()
9. {
10.     if(Input.GetJoystickNames() >= 0)
11.     {
12.         Debug.Log("Using Controller");
13.     }
14.     else
15.     {
16.         Debug.Log("Using Keyboard");
17.     }
18. }

 

I struggled with this a while back too, and I used a different solution. Perhaps using GetJoystickNames() is better in your case, but here's what I did.

Code (CSharp):

1. if(Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Joystick1Button0) || Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Joystick1Button1) || Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Joystick1Button2) ||  et cetera){
2.             print ("playing with a controller");
3.         }
4.         else if(Input.GetAxis("Mouse X") != 0F || Input.GetAxis("Mouse Y") != 0F || Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.W) || Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.A) || et cetera){
5.             print ("playing with mouse & keyboard");
6.         }

 

You may need to add more code by

Code (CSharp):

1. string[] joys = Input.GetJoystickNames();
2.         int controllerCount = 0;
3.         for (int i = 0; i < joys.Length; i++)
4.         {
5.             if (joys[i] != "")
6.             {
7.                 controllerCount += 1;
8.             }
9.         }
10.         if (controllerCount > 0)
11.         {
12.             Debug.Log("Using Joystick");
13.         }
14.         else
15.         {
16.             Debug.Log("Not use Joystick");
17.         }

Because just use Input.GetJoystickNames().Length > 0
is not enough and it will just empty text with no Joystick
But it still count Length > 0
