Optional allow unblock (don't eat) joypad buttons

Post by **Nash** » Tue Oct 03, 2017 11:12 am

It seems that it's hardcoded that the basic joypad buttons are blocked and Event Handlers cannot detect them. This is making UI implementation for joypads for my game difficult. Can there be an option to unblock those basic joypad buttons?

What do you mean by 'basic joypad buttons'? If you talk about the directional keys, no, they can't - because they get mapped to the analog axes by the driver.

I mean the 4 buttons (Joy1 to Joy4, or the ABXY buttons on the Xbox), as well as the shoulder buttons. It seems that some of these buttons are eaten when pressed with no way for me to detect them.
