A downloadable Unity Package for Windows, macOS, and Linux

What is this tool?

This tool is a simple Plug-And-Play tool for all unity game developers. It uses (so also requires) the new Input System by emulating another control (like the gamepad stick).

How do I use it?

Once you installed correctly the package and created a joystick, you need to set the "Control Path" field in order to make it mimic the decided control. After you do this, it should automatically  work.

Install instructions

In order to use this tool there are a couple of steps you need to make sure to have done before using the "MinimalJoystick" script:

  1. Import and setup the new Input System from the Unity Package Manager window (there are plenty of tutorials online).
  2. Create a Canvas.
  3. This will automatically create a EventSystem, inspect it and make sure it uses the new Input System as well.

If you have done all of this steps, you can now install the package, so:

  1. Double-click on the downloaded file with the Unity Editor open in your project.
  2. Add a minimal Joystick:
    1. Drag and drop the prefab under your canvas.
    2. Create a new GameObject child of the canvas and add the "Minimal Joystick" component.
  3. Create a new GameObject child of the canvas and add the "Minimal Joystick" component.
  4. Feel free to modify the values in the component, just make sure not to change directly the objects created because it could cause problems.
