Multi-Controllers input detection with Xinput for Unity

UnityXpad

Simple input manager for controllers. This is independent of Unity's native input system, so it won't affect the existing Unity input manager settings. I have experienced input conflicts with native Unity input system when using multiple controllers, so I used XInput instead. It works on Windows 10 and Unity 2019 with Xbox controllers. It does not work with PS4 controllers.

Supports up to 4 controllers

If your target .Net version is not 4.x, replace the sharpdx and sharpdx.xinput library under Assets/Plugins with the correct version. Both libraries are available on Nuget.

Sample Usage

Similar to native Unity input system. For example:

if ( Xpad.GetKey( XKey.A, 1 ))
{
	//Gamepad 1 A button is held
}

if ( Xpad.GetKeyDown( XKey.A, 1 ))
{
	//Gamepad 1 A button is pressed. No continuous detection
}

if ( Xpad.GetKeyUp( XKey.A, 1 )
{
	//Gamepad 1 A button is released. No continuous detection
}

if ( Xpad.GetAxis( XKey.LeftThumbX, 1 ))
{
	//Gamepad 1 Left horizontal axis, ranged from -1 to 1. 
}

if ( Xpad.GetAxisRaw( XKey.LeftThumbX, 1 ))
{
	//Gamepad 1 Left horizontal axis, returns either -1, 0 or 1.
	//This is more useful with Triggers (i.e l2, r2), since the joystick
	//rarely stays at 0 (usually stays at like 0.003 when not pushed).
