Heya,

Aaron from Epic here to talk to you folks about controllers and our plans for enabling you to play how you want. Just on the horizon are Custom Controls landing in the v6.0 update, which will let you modify your setup as you wish!

Custom Control Flow

The way you’ll be selecting the configuration has changed to a selector on the left side of the menu. After selecting Custom, the right side of the menu becomes buttons that are selectable. When a button is clicked, it opens a list of actions that can be assigned to that button.

Mode selection (Combat, Build) has changed to selectable by triggers. When you’re in a mode, the actions for that mode and actions that span between modes will show in the actions list to select from.

The idea here is to make a system that is easy to use and can be built upon with more functionality in later releases, if needed.

If you have any feedback with regards to how you may use this system or control options you’d like to see please let us know. You can expect the first version of this to land...tomorrow :)

** UPDATE *\*
It's awesome to see all of the different variations and I'm glad everyone is sharing.

Know that we are acknowledging the Edit Reset and Edit Confirm actions issue and we will look into it to find a good solution.

Any words on instant edit binding?

Look at the 3rd image in the post. In the Actions list there is an Edit and Repair. Those are not hold actions. You can put them where you want.

Add separate sensitivity for building and combat and it will be perfect!

This will be coming very soon.

Will we be able to create multiple custom configurations, maybe even be able to name them?

Not in this version. I'm curious, what's the use case for this type of functionality?

Is there an option for PTT added to the controller binding?? That would be AMAZING!

This is the first time that I've seen this request. This version does not have PTT (Push-To-Talk) as an action to bind. Out of curiousity, where would you put it?

How about the controllers deadzone? Will we be able to change those?

Reading these comments, it seems as though, we need to consider this a little more seriously. When we adjusted the deadzone sizes we had hoped that it was fixed. It appears that we need to talk about this more and figure out how/when we can get this done.

Hey Aaron, thanks for all your constant support man! The only request I have left is having a 'reset build edit' option. I can't tell you how many times my ogre fingers click the stick in a build battle and I rotate my ramps, and end up dying due to it. Just make an option to have it revert to default just like the option to revert back to the wall piece in combat pro.

Making sure I understand. You want an option that resets your build piece rotation to default after you go out and back in to build mode?

Can we please tweak our sensitivity by decimal points, this is one of the only games that makes you use whole numbers for sensitivity.

Coming soon.

This is a question that I hope get's answered but, in Builder Pro, while in builder mode, I have to be toggled to a wall to edit walls or a floor to edit floors. Is there a chance that an update or something will allow me to edit structures that I look at rather than being toggled to the pieces? Keyboard and mouse players can look at any piece while in builder mode and be able to edit it but why not controller players?

I've talked with my colleague that recently looked into this. It's unfortunately not a quick and easy fix but it is on our radar.

Can we please bind the 'confirm' button to whatever our desired button to edit is?

Many have asked about this. We'll take a look at this and figure out a solution.
