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 to use the joystick with the mouse, you have to go to Project settings -> Input Devices -> Pointing, and turn on the option "emulate touch from mouse".
- If you want multitouch, make sure to disable the option "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.
