Using PS4 controller in Unity

Hey guys,

I've been Googling around for help on the subject and found some stuff, but am too much of a noob to understand it. I'm wondering how to map the buttons on my Ps4 controller to control my player in my fighting game. I've hooked up the Ps4 controller with USB, but don't know what to do in the Input Settings Tab.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

 

If you want to use the Unity Input system you might want to check this out:

if you're intending to use plugins for your Input-Mapping I'd suggest Rewired. Has support for PS4 Controller and a gazillion of other controllers

 

Thank you for your help! I'm looking to use the Unity input system. However, I don't understand how and where to use the information you just linked me to. Where do I input these values to make sure my Ps4 controller works with my game?

 

You want to put them into the Input Settings.
Go to Edit -> Project Settings -> Input.

And for the record: www.unity3d.com/learn <- do everything here

 

Got it. Thanks!

 

I found this info: https://imgur.com/a/I2HDRPV
which contradicts the reddit post above ( https://www.reddit.com/r/Unity3D/comments/1syswe/ps4_controller_map_for_unity/ ). I haven't had the chance to test which one is accurate.

This page is also helpful: https://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/ConventionalGameInput.html

 

The link https://imgur.com/a/I2HDRPV is the correct mapping if you are testing the PS4 controller ,AND your unity app is running off of a ACTUAL PS4 Dev Kit, if you have a PS4 wireless controller attached to your PC, and you are running your app/project from the editor then use this mapping.

hopefully other devs will find this post clears things up.

 

i created an Input preset for the PS4 and wrote a simple event-based controller based off the presets. Feel free to take a look.

It uses the mapping in the reddiit post mentioned in comment #7 above.

 

Its possible to use ds4 via Bluetooth by:
- Using ds4windows
- disabling the DualShockGamePadHID controller and leaving enabled XInputControllerWindows: Window -> Analysis -> Input Debugger.

With this configuration the ds4 works completely fine by Bluetooth. For some reason the right joystick had inverted directions.

Hope it helps

 

so download a package called input systum then download it and then go to the plus thats below project click it and press input actions at the bottom then double click the thing you just created and put that tab werehever then you should find something called action maps make one by pressing the plus near were it says action maps and an acion should be made which has a binding below it press on the binding and under where it says binding press that and select your button you can make more action maps actions and bindings under the action and i wont tell you anything codey BECAUSE I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO PROGRAM OR CODE WITH THAT PACKAGE
