Summary: keyboard and other controllers, and debugging stats display

I posted this on the old forums. It has a great reception there. So I'm reposting it here in the hopes it will help people again.

It contains a TON of debugging stats displayed on the GUI. Things like controller input levels, direction, speed, etc. Debugging is togglable via a single variable as well.

ALL logic, is contained in a single object called obj_controller.

It should be simple enough for most to adjust and integrate into their projects.

You can switch between XBOX 360 controller / Gamepad and Mouse / WASD by switching a single variable in the step event called controller_using_gamepad = 1;

To make the entire thing work, you should only need a player sprite for standing and walking, obj_player, and a room. But I'll see if I can link the project file itself in a bit.

I'm posting the code below as I don't see a way to upload attachments on the forum (I'll keep looking):

I'd love to see this as a project file if you ever do get around to it!

I Can't Seem to Get it to work. i made the obj_controller and Pasted the Script in each of their seperate actions. and Set the controller_using_gamepad = 1 to equal 0.
and i am unable to walk around using wasd. Help? Also, You can't attach things to posts. (I Dont Think) just upload it to dropbox and then link it into your post.

I succesfully added this to my game, but since I'm fairly new to GameMaker I was wondering how easy it is for this to implement multiplayer? Like multiple controllers.
Also, if my game ever gets released, do you want me to mention your name in the credits?
