GameMaker Full analog movement with variable speed?

[Undead Hero]

Hey. I’ve looked everywhere, but couldn’t find an answer to this.

Is there a function in GM2 that that would allow you to change the speed a player moves at based on how far you’re moving an analog stick? ie, nudge the stick a little bit to move slowly, push it all the way to the edge to move quickly.

Thanks!

Presumably gamepad_axis_value will be what you're looking for. The example code is more or less doing what you are asking for.

I thought this was saying it would simply return -1 or 1, based on a left or right input. Does it get more granular than that with the analog sticks?

Yes.

Yes.

Sweet, thanks.

this is actually quite simple you just use the result of gamepad_axis_value as a multiplier.

Make sure you lower the threshold.
