    Hello,

    Left Stick [GamePad] and RightStick [GamePad] cannot be selected in the bindings.

    Project's parameters created on versions before 11f1

    I could override the binding like this, without knowing if it would cause bugs later in my scripts. Any idea if it's an actual bug or has there been a change of behaviour since previous versions ? Thanks!

    It's looking for a float type control so the Vector3 control isn't selectable. In your case, I assume "Move" is set to action type "Value" and control type "Axis".

    Hi @Rene-Damm , no it's Pass Through (which has not changed since prior versions). Should I change Axis to Vector3 ?

    EDIT : Changing Axis to Vector3 show other bindings than Gamepad. And changing Pass Through to Value does not give me access to Left Stick only.

    Yup, that's the bit that makes it go down the picker gray out the sticks. It sees "Axis" and looks at the stick (Vector2) and sees an incompatible type.

    If you want the action to be able to bind to any type of control, you can switch it to "Any". In that case, the picker should not be filtering out controls anymore.

    Alternatively, for stick type controls set it to "Vector2" or "Stick" (the latter is more restrictive).

    Got it ! The parameters to put are : Pass Through and Stick (or Vector2).
    If I put Value instead of Pass Through on the camera input (I'm using a Cinemachine Free look camera), the camera rotation updates continuously and you'll have a camera that keeps rotating forever once you pushed the stick. Pass Through seems to be the best option.
