Joystick:isDown and Joystick:isGamepadDown inconsis.[solved]

[SimonLarsen]

I'm currently trying out the new joystick API which is great, but something confuses me.
I'm using a standard Dual Shock 3 (Playstation 3) controller under Linux. Probably with the xpad og xboxdrv drivers, not entirely sure.

When running the following code:

Code: Select all

function love.load()
	joystick = love.joystick.getJoysticks()[1]

	if joystick:isGamepad() == true then
		print("joystick 1 \"" .. joystick:getName() .. "\" is a gamepad")
	end
	_, abutton = joystick:getGamepadMapping("a")
	print("A button is " .. abutton)
end

function love.update(dt)
	if joystick:isGamepadDown("a") then
		print("isGamepadDown(a) == true")
	end
	if joystick:isDown(abutton) then
		print("isDown(a) == true")
	end
end

it prints

Code: Select all

joystick 1 "Sony PLAYSTATION(R)3 Controller" is a gamepad
A is button 15

as expected. However

Code: Select all

isGamepadDown(a) == true

is printed only when the X-button is held while

Code: Select all

isDown(a) == true

is printed only when the square-button is held.

Am I wrong in assuming getGamepadMapping should give the same button id that isGamepadDown uses?

Nevermind. Just found the notice on the Wiki:

Code: Select all

There is a bug in version 0.9.0 which requires the button indices passed to Joystick:isDown to be 0-based instead of 1-based, for example button 1 would be 0 for this function.

So the workaround is to simply call joystick:isDown(button-1) instead, until it is resolved?

Yeah. The next version of LÖVE will definitely have the fix (it's been committed already.) Sorry about the bug!
