Description:
Full tutorial on making a simple twin stick shooter in Unity.
Introduction
I was mostly looking for the basics of setting up twin stick shooter input controls in Unity, mainly with how to setup the second stick, and came across this full tutorial for twin stick shooters. I can use the player controller and input setup information to cover that for sure, and having access to the rest of the tutorial can be useful for ideas and concepts if I want to help flesh out my example.
Twin Stick Controls for Gamepad in Unity
To setup the right joystick for a gamepad in a project such as a twin stick shooter in Unity, you go to the “Project Settings” and go to the “Input” section. Here you can modify the list of inputs Unity is dealing with, so you can add the extra joystick. The easiest way to do this quickly for another stick is simply duplicating the default “Horizontal” and “Vertical” options and renaming them. Once renamed, just change their axis to 4th axis (for the x-axis of your right stick) and 5th axis (for the y-axis of your right stick). This should provide you the additional input options for the right stick of a gamepad.
