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.
