Uncaught Error: Invalid gamepad info

[Occult-Dev]

When I attempt to use the code: Sup.Input.getGamepadAxisValue( 0, 4 ) [ which should return the value of the right-thumbstick on a wired xbox360 controller ], I am met with the error: Uncaught Error: Invalid gamepad info.

I receive this error when I set the 'axis' in Sup.Input.getGamepadAxisValue( gamepad: number, axis: number ) to anything above 3.
However, according to this site: www.html5gamepad.com, it shows that I should be able to go up to axis-7.

Hmm, I have an xbox360 controller too and for me the right-thumbstick is defined as the seventh button. So I can do Sup.Input.getGamepadButtonValue(0, 7) to get the value. Does that work for you?

I am not sure why we would have different behavior, but we can easily support more axes. Just need to change around here:

unfortunatly, that doesn't appear to fix it.

for me, gamepad-button #7 is the start-button.

I should note that I'm using a 'slightly-offbrand' Disney Tron branded controller. And, while I was once able to use the original code I posted above in an earlier version of superpowers, it very well could just be something wonky going on with the controller.

When I get some time, I'll try and modify the parts you referenced and rebuild to see what happens...

Can you post of screenshot of what you see on html5gamepad.com? Sounds like your gamepad is fairly unconventional in its mappings. Also are you on Windows?

As @bilou84 said, we can increase from 4 to 8 axes or whatever if that works for you.

sure, here is me holding the right thumbstick up:

here is the left thumbstick being held up:

and here is me pressing the start button which the site recognizes as 'Button-7' [ axis 2 & 5 are the left and right triggers, respectively. -1 represents them being 'idle' ]:
