Easy to use:

OPTIONS:

• Joystick mode:

  • Fixed: The joystick doesn't move.
  • Dynamic: Every time the joystick area is pressed, the joystick position is set on the touched position.

• Dead zone size: If the tip is inside this range the output is zero.

• Clamp zone size: The max distance the tip can reach.

• Visibility mode:

  • Always: Always visible.
  • touchscreen only: Visible on touch screens only (will hide if the device has not a touchscreen).

• Use input actions: if true the joystick will trigger the input actions created in Project -> Project Settings -> Input Map

HELP:

• The Control parent of the joystick is the area in which the joystick can move in Dynamic mode.
• For moving the joystick inside his area, select it, right click, turn on "Editable Children" and then change the position of the Base node.
• With "Editable Children" turned on you can also edit the joystick textures and colors.
• To be able able to use multitouch and mouse, I advise you got to Project -> Project Settings -> General -> Input Devicesto and turn ON "emulate touch from mouse" and turn OFF "emulate mouse from touch".
• Create a CanvasLayer node and name it "UI", it'll contain all the UI elements, then add the Joystick scene as a child of the UI node and move it where you prefer.
• An example scene is provided in the "Test" folder.
