Madder Controller State

​

Overview

The Madder controller state is a struct used for deserializing the input sent from a player’s Madder controller app to the Unity game. The WebGL build calls UpdateMadderControllerState() on the Madder Manager to update the Madder controller state. The inputs from the player’s controller are sent as follows:

• Name: string
• Joystick: {x: float, y: float}
• Triangle Button: boolean
• Circle Button: boolean
• Plus Button: boolean

Upon receiving the input from the player’s controller, the Madder Manager will deserialize the json object, convert to the expected datatypes, and update the Madder Controller State with the new input values.

This class, along with the Madder Controller class, defines the layout of the Madder Controller for the Unity Input system.

    [System.Serializable]
    public struct MadderControllerState : IInputStateTypeInfo
    {
        public static FourCC Format => new FourCC('M', 'A', 'D', 'R');
        public string name;
        [InputControl(name = "joystick", layout = "Vector2")]
        public Vector2 joystick;

        [InputControl(name = "circle", layout = "Button")]
        public float circle;

        [InputControl(name = "triangle", layout = "Button")]
        public float triangle;

        [InputControl(name = "plus", layout = "Button")]
        public float plus;
        public FourCC format => Format;
    }

The FourCC Format is used internally by the Unity Input System to identify the format of the input state and the layout of the controller. There shouldn’t be a need to interact with this value.

Usage

See Madder Controller for usage with the Unity Input System. If you are not using the Unity Input System, you may receive this information directly and interact with it as you need by listening to the OnUpdateMadderControllerState event.

    private void OnUpdateMadderControllerState(MadderControllerState madderControllerState)
    {
        //TODO: Handle player input
        //Example: Move player based on joystick input
        //if (player.name == madderControllerState.name)
        //{
        //    player.Move(madderControllerState.joystick);
        //}
    }
