Enum GamepadType

Identifies the manufacturer or platform family of a connected gamepad controller, enabling the input hints system to select the appropriate button-prompt icon set.

Namespace: Scylla.Input

Assembly: ScyllaInput.dll

Syntax

public enum GamepadType

Remarks

The ControlSchemeManager derives this value automatically by inspecting the Unity Input System device's displayName and layout strings against a set of known substrings (e.g., "dualshock", "xinput", "nintendo"). The resolved type is stored in DetectedGamepadType and in the active GamepadType property whenever the active scheme is of category Gamepad.

Callers can listen to OnGamepadTypeChanged to be notified when the detected type changes (e.g., the player unplugs an Xbox controller and connects a PlayStation controller) and update their UI prompts accordingly.
