LSL Game Control is a way for scripts in vehicles and attachments to use game controller input from devices such as Xbox, PS4/5 and joysticks. For example, a helicopter could more delicately maneuver, using input from the analog stick rather than WASD on a keyboard.

👉 For information about the LSL event and writing scripts that use game control see: game_control.

Instructions

Download and install the installer from Github
Plug in a compatible game controller device
Enable Develop menu Advanced > Show Develop Menu
Enable GameControl feature Develop --> Experimental Features --> GameControl
Open GameControl preferences Me --> Preferences... --> Game Control
- Enable Send GameControl Data to server

If you don't have a game controller device you can still send some GameControl data to the server by translating avatar movement, but this must be enabled in the GameControl preferences

Open GameControl preferences Me --> Preferences... --> Game Control
- Enable Avatar actions interpreted as GameControl

-LSL Game Control is a way for scripts in vehicles and attachments to use game controller input from devices such as Xbox, PS4/5 and joysticks. This feature will allow users to create things like vehicles that behave more realistically by using analog input values from a Bluetooth gamepad in addition to discrete key-press events. For example, a helicopter could more delicately maneuver, using input from the analog stick rather than WASD on a keyboard. This functionality is not limited to vehicles and can be used for many more applications.
