Controller Input With Multiple Controllers

[bridev]

Hi there,

I am trying to create a UI that can be used by multiple players at the same time. Each player will have their own player setup to do (entering name, handicap, etc..). I would like to be able to have each player be able to modify its own set of NGUI controls. I have looked into the Controller Input example, and I have been able to use this for controlling one set of NGUI controls at a time. I am having trouble when there are multiple controllers interacting at the same time. Each controller can control all NGUI controls that have the UIKeyNavigation script attached.

I would like to be able to specify that each set of controls should only be able to be controlled by one controller (like controller 1 for player 1). Is this possible? I have not been able to figure out how through looking at documentation, examples, and the code.

Thanks for your time,

-Brian

It's not something that NGUI was designed for, unfortunately. Controller input in NGUI uses a single object for selection, and does not distinguish between different controller types. If you need that kind of code, you would need to create a custom input type (UICamera.onCustomInput), not rely on NGUI's controller handling.

That makes sense. I will look into using a custom input type. Thanks a lot for the help!
