Closeup with Controller
I implemented the closeup as explained very well in https://www.adventurecreator.org/tutorials/examining-objects-close
As I am using a controller I would like to have the rotation happening without having to press a button as well. For a mouse game dragging with the mouse button down and moving the mouse really makes sense. With a controller however the additional button press is very annoying especially because the right stick is used for looking so you need to press a button above it (I think that makes most sense for an action button) and at the same time moving the stick below.
Right now I have it setup like this:
- "action" button (Y) is used for initiating the closeup so I have to use the same button and the right stick at the same time
- to exit the menu I have assigned a different button (B) in this case
I'd rather have it like this:
- enter and exit closeup with action button
- turn the object with the stick only
I guess this has something to do with dynamically remapping the controls? But how do I get the dragging action to drag without a button?
Howdy, Stranger!
It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!

To grab/drop am object with separate button presses - as opposed to holding down a button while dragging - you'll need a custom script.
Such a script can be found on the AC wiki here:

It'll need to be adapted to suit your needs (as a demonstration, this uses the number keys to grab/drop the object), but give it a try and see if it's along the right lines for your needs.
