# SliderGamepad

Custom nodes to have better joystick and dpad support on sliders.



  



## Features

- **Smooth joystick**: hold the joystick in one direction and the slider value adjust smoothly

- **Discrete joystick**: the joystick acts as a button, only updating the value by one each "press"

- **Smooth & discrete**: joystick is in discrete mode, until you hold the direction for more than a threshold time when it switches to smooth

- **Dpad steps**: dpad can modify the value configurable steps instead of the default 1 step

## How to use

The addon assumes you have the joypad mapped to the default ui actions: **ui_left**, **ui_right**, **ui_up**, **ui_down**

The dpad discrete function reacts directly to the **InputEventJoypadButton**

**Step 1: Add a HSliderGamepad or VSliderGamepad**

Add a node as you normally do and choose either HSliderGamepad or VSliderGamepad depending on your needs



  



**Step 2: Setup the node**

- **Slider speed**: the speed at which the value is changed (per frame)

- **Dpad step**: the step size when using the dpad 

- **Joystick discrete**: sets the joystick in discrete mode

- **Joystick smooth discrete threshold**: time in seconds after which the joystick will switch to smooth when held in one direction (requires joystick to be set to discrete mode)
