If they have a controller plugged in then it’s going to send inputs. They should fix their controller, or unplug it; steam input can mess with controllers too and/or allow users to easily disable a type of input.
You could track the last-used button and only read from that type of input, I’ve used “last-button-type” for changing input prompts from “press ‘E’” to “press ‘Y’”, but using such a system to ignore the other input style may be more difficult especially if you are using helper functions like Input.get_vector.
If using Input.get_vector (and it may still be the easiest way) you would need to separate your actions into keyboard_left/right/forward/backward and joy_left/right/forward/backward, then you could switch between them.
var using_keyboard: bool = true
func _unhandled_input(event: InputEvent) -> void:
if event is InputEventKey:
using_keyboard = true
elif event is InputEventJoypadButton:
# only track joypad buttons as they are more intentional than
# motion, such as stick drift
using_keyboard = false
func _physics_process(delta: float) -> void:
var input_vector: Vector2
if using_keyboard:
input_vector = Input.get_vector(
"keyboard_left",
"keyboard_right",
"keyboard_forward",
"keyboard_backward")
else:
input_vector = Input.get_vector(
"joy_left",
"joy_right",
"joy_forward",
"joy_backward")
This can make it harder for the rare dual-input players that use joysticks for movement and mouse for looking, but they may have a special way around it such as steam input remapping to keyboard.
Another maybe simplier option is to add a setting to disable controller input entirely, going through your input map and either deleting the input for each action, or setting it to an absurd controller port.
func _on_toggled_controller_allowed(allow_controllers: bool) -> void:
var actions := InputMap.get_actions()
for action in actions:
var inputs := InputMap.action_get_events(action)
for input in inputs:
if input is InputEventJoypadButton or input is InputEventJoypadMotion:
# -1 seems to be "all devices", 99 is unreasonable
input.device = -1 if allow_controllers else 99
