    Hello all you bright, attractive Unity people! I have a problem with the input that I'm getting from my joysticks. I have several scripts which change the axis they are using based on what the player number is :
    Input.GetAxis("" + playerNum + ".FireL1") is one example.
    I have possible player numbers from 0 to 3. Each script is properly getting the player number and my axes are properly named and separated by which controller they should input from, but for some reason when I press any BUTTON axis from any controller, Unity acts as if all the controllers had that button pressed. Perhaps I did something stupid, but this seems like a bug. I sent a bug report also, but hoped there would be someone here with an answer.

    Any ideas?

    joystick buttons that are assigned to one particular joystick have to be named like this:

    joystick 0 button 0
    instead of:
    joystick button 0

    (The joystick number popup at the bottom doesn't affect this at all at the moment.)
