Difficult to answer without knowing exactly what you do. If you do a break on the device you will get a lot of information. You can use the “Type” parameter to see whether it is a gamepad or a steering wheel. You also have the product ID and the name.
You are right. Now I am making a racing game, I have the wheel properly setup. Now when I tried using controller. My Throttle pedal and Left Thubmstick Y axis are the same haha
So now I need to keep these both different
Hey there. I’m using the plugin for a year now for an educational simulator. Now I have to expand the supported DD wheels, I used simcube and now have to use moza bases.
I understand that you don’t have those bases and it’s not possible to implement for every single base a different solution, but who else could help? 
In your demo the new base shows up, with certain values a constant force can be set(*). The force is created and recreated on button click, so two forces are adding up, that’s clear. However when I try to create one force in my project and updating this force the base behaves weird.
The nodes for the older base and works fine, but has no effect on moza:
These nodes are working with LIMITS for the moza, but cant make it permanently working.
The moza needs direction_X, not a big deal, but the problem is that can’t make it work over 30 seconds. The updating effect only lasts for the Length given in the very first UPDATE, not the CREATE. Giving larger number than 30000 for length makes the base shaking violently, only depowering works. The update frequency interval is about 100 ms, however giving a length below 3000 ms makes zero force. So the timing for this base is very weird.
I also tried to destroy and create the force instead of updating but it’s (understandably) slow and not smooth enough for the hand, however it works for any long time.
Thanks for your hard work, the plugin is robust!(**)
(*) Moza has to use an X direction and a level value instead the positive/negative value for the simcube
(**) Wouldn’t it be fantastic if fab.com still showing my review?

You can check the product ID when loading the mapping. I think I did this in the vehicle demo project and displayed an error message with a print string.

If you set a length of 3 seconds when updating the effect then, in my experience, the effect also expires after 3 seconds and is then no longer usable. Always set the maximum length. Then make a delay of 3 seconds and then use the stop function. It’s a bit strange but unfortunately it’s the way it’s implemented in SDL.

Got it. I found a workaround, but if I have connected both the wheel and gamepad together, one of them will never work. Is that right or am I missing something?
In the previous posts it sounded as if you wanted exactly the opposite. As if you only wanted to use the steering wheel. I’m a bit confused.
You’re using the mapping, right? You could activate the checkbox “Allow Multi Mapping” in the mapping functions and map multiple devices. Or you could create another action and do everything twice but make your UI so that the user thinks it’s just one action. Hard to say without knowing the code.
My guess is, when the whole thing starts, I can get all connected controllers and save their connection index respectively?
also I should add, in a build, If I have choosen, Tick(Once every frame) on Trigger Event If, It does not work. Might be a bug but I am not sure.
You have inserted the events in your screenshot for “Connection Index 0”. This means that the events only react to the first device recognized by SDL. You could add further events with other indexes or run a loop.
Regarding the bug, are you using the latest plugin version 3.36?
Yes on Init in Game Instance, I can get connected controllers and do loop to check for a game controller and a wheel? and then I might get the results I want?
No I am on an old one. I will update 
But how would I know which axis it is? This makes my life so hard
I have implemented the “getButtonName” for buttons, but there is no such function for axes. 
It’s on my todo list now. Otherwise you can make a switch to the AxisID. It’s always the same for most gamepads. Axis 0 and 1 is the left stick. 2 and 3 the right stick. 4 left trigger and 5 right trigger. But I think it’s better if I add a function.
Another Question here, Hello how are you?
Is there anyway I can use Unreal RawInput with this plugin. As I can do the gamepad support from Unreal. Otherwise this is too hectic to do. Right now I am thinking about making Enums for everything. Just if I can use it with SDL/Simple Controller
What if I make another Mapping Profile? is that an option?
I think I even suggested it above.
Rawinput and my plugin take the events away from each other. That’s why I advise against activating the Rawinput plugin. I also don’t think it is necessary.
I am shocked that you dont have documentation/example project for such example. This might be common thing for people using this.
I have now created 2 mapping profiles and still this is not working. I dont know WHAT I HAVE TO DO TO MAKE THIS WORK.
Example of what? I honestly don’t know what you’re trying to do. Once it was a mapping with a steering wheel. Then a gamepad was added. Then gamepad without mapping. Then mapping with two profiles. I have no idea what your goal is.
Let me draw you a simple image of my game. I have connected a Steering Wheel and A Gamepad(Controller), In my game, I want to use either one of them(What I will select from the main menu). Both will have different mappings(I have done this based on 2 different mapping profiles). Now When I go in my game. Whatever input I have choosed does not work. I am using an enum to switch what Mapping Profile I need to use to get and then use it with “Controller Event Mapped Axis/Action”.
This should actually be quite simple. You only need one profile but two different files. If the user selects the steering wheel, load/save the profile in the steering wheel file and the gamepad file for the gamepad. You can use the name of the device. You can also test it in the demo. There you can enter the file name when mapping.
