Did you try GitHub - metahusk/UE4GamepadUMG: Unreal Engine 4 gamepad plugin so you can use a gamepad like a mouse in UMG ?

157

Iā€™ve compiled the plugin for UE 4.19. Get it here:

GitHub: GitHub - xcloudx01/UE4GamepadUMG: Unreal Engine 4 gamepad plugin so you can use a gamepad like a mouse

Does anyone know why it demands the plugin be compiled in the Binaries folder instead of the plugins folder? Im new to C++ but I was able to at least get it compiled and working so you guys can continue to use it.

I just compiled it for 4.19 with Linux support. If anyone needs it :

159

Well, I still got these lines of warnings (in editor 4.18 / 4.19 output log compile or VS build, same thing):

Looks like some code functions / commands are depricated, any suggestions to fix them?

160

Old threadā€¦ 4.19 update isnā€™t working from gethubā€¦?

161

I double that. Just tried it and it didnā€™t work on 4.19 unfortunately

162

Simple fix for 4.20, just change the follow code from SetInPutPreProcessor lines to the following:

Line 28 in GameAnalogCursor.cpp



FSlateApplication::Get().RegisterInputPreProcessor(AnalogCursor);

Line 49 in GameAnalogCursor.cpp



FSlateApplication::Get().UnregisterInputPreProcessor(GetMutableDefault<UGamepadCursorSettings>()->GetAnalogCursor());
163

The plugin for 4.19 doesnā€™t work at all. It says missing binaries or incompatible with engine. Any fix for this?

164

Thanks, I made a pull request on github with those changes.

165

Could someone please post a link to a downloadable version of the 4.20 update

166

Did you try downloading https://github.com/metahusk/UE4GamepadUMG/archive/master.zip and copying the plugin folder into your projectā€™s plugin folder?

167

No Parvan, I have never done that before. Worked great, thank you for the link and advice.

168

Anyone have any other ideas? Every time I try to use it says the plugins modules are missing

169

What does it say? Are they failing to compile? Are you using Visual Studio 2017?

170

Hereā€™s a fix for a bug that happens if EnableAnalogCursor is called more than once without calling DisableAnalogCursor. Canā€™t believe that no one has encountered this bug before:
/pull/7/files

171

Thanks for the bug fix!

172

How has no one made this work with the right analog stick instead of the left? Seems like its pretty much useless without that ability.

I suck at coding, but Iā€™ll try to hack it in myself today.

173

Totally agree with that :slight_smile: If you could try, it would be great!

174

GetAnalogValues takes an input value for which stick to fetch, itā€™s defaulting to the left stick

Update line 136 in GameAnalogCursor.cpp:

//grab the cursor acceleration
const FVector2D AccelFromAnalogStick = GetAnalogCursorAccelerationValue(GetAnalogValues(EAnalogStick::Right), DPIScale);

175

I had to call in the big guns, and he fixed the BS for us. Itā€™s nice to have smart friends lol.
