Define two players controls

(Leandro Maguna) #1

Hi guys! I’m trying to make a 1 vs 1 game but i’m failing at setting up the controlls. I want to set A,S,W and D for player one, and Arrows for player two.

My first try was to set Input.define(“LEFT”, Keys.A) for P1 and Input.define(“LEFT”, Keys.RIGHT) but i realize that the last one override the previous one. I google it but couldn’t find anything about this.

Has anybody accomplished something like this? Any advice, tip or whatever would be welcome :smiley:

You can simply change the string for every input of every player.

Input.define("P1 left", Keys.A);
Input.define("P2 left", Keys.LEFT);

Hey! I ended up having a parent class Player and two children PlayerOne and PlayerTwo. The only diference between them is the image and the input key defines. It works better for me.

You can actually have a string variable that defines what of the two players is working as prefix. SO then you can use something like

if (Input.pressed(prefix+"left"))
{

}

I like this code more but it’s up to you if you duplicate things.
