manualAttaching: not possible to use external controller to manual attach/detach

[don_apple]

- PC/Mac/PS4/XB1: Mac (version 1.4.4)
- Vehicle/Tool/Model/Object: manualAttaching Mod v1.2.2
- Issue: manual attaching/detaching only works via keyboard keys, but not via external controller
- Single- or Multiplayer: SP
- Steps to reproduce: define a button combination on an external controller via in-game 'Controls' menu or by editing the inputBinding.xml directly, and try to use this button combination in game to attach/detach implements while standing next to them
- Does it happen on a standard map without mods yes/no? yes

I have modified the input bindings for the manual attaching mod to be able to use the buttons on my gamepad to manual attach and detach implements. In the inputBindings.xml the input bindings now look like the following:

Code: Select all

    <input name="maAttach" key1="KEY_q" key2="" mouse="" button="BUTTON_5 BUTTON_2" device="0" category="VEHICLE" />
    <input name="maAttachSpecial" key1="KEY_z" key2="" mouse="" button="BUTTON_5 BUTTON_3" device="0" category="VEHICLE" />

When I stand next to the tractor and implement it shows the button combination for attaching/detaching, but when I press the button combination nothing happens:

Using the keyboard key still works however:

I was about to try that on my gamepad, I'll see if it works for me.

If this could be confirmed i will add it to my list.. or you can report the bug here:

Easier for me to keep track on bugs.

It works for me don_apple. Try removing that line in the xml then finding "Attach or Detach Object" in the controls menu of the settings and assign it that way

I've tried the version from the GitHub repo now, and with that everything works as it should. And even better it is using the same controls as the standard 'attach implement' function without having to assign them or modify the inputBinding.xml
