GMS2 Controller Boilerplate setup. Use in your projects. FYI you can get this all in code-format from controller.txt in this repo. Read on for the pretty version.
I made this because:
- Yoyo's docs barely get you started, and are often incomplete, and missing examples
- Google search has incomplete and promoted content
So, here's a no-frills full-mapping of a whole Xbox controller that functions well. While I still have patience for Yoyo, I'll do things like this, but I'm close to jumping ship after I found my app with no network functionality was phoning-home to Yoyo.

//and dont even think of mapping the crap X button, Microsoft's invasive branding experience has ruined that button.
