How to use the Dualshock 4 with RoR

[Liminal Vector]

First, I got the xbox drivers and DS4 to XInput tools (if you need help, just look up a tutorial on these)

Make sure your controller is properly connected before you begin.

First, got to the in-game menu, options, contols, gamepad support.
Activate the gamepad.

Now comes the tricky part. You need to change all of the controls to the correct buttons by clicking the corresponding control in the menu and pressing the button on the controller.
if the button doesn't bind correctly, it will say something like "stick no.4 backward". keep trying to bind them by clicking the control and then pressing the button immediately after. when a binding is done successfully, You will get a red error message in the corner and the new control binding will say "button 1,2,3" etc.

WARNING - do not try to bind the jump key, it will put the controls into a loop and you will have to reset all progress!



Best bindings


pause- bind to the DS4 Options button
ability 1 - left trigger
ability 2 - right trigger
ability 3 - left bumper
ability 4 - right bumper
use item - circle
enter - x
swap item - y

This is the best way I know how to make the DS4 work, if anyone can do it better. please tell me.

and also, bind the options key first to stop looping on the ability 2 bind.

On PCGamingWiki, these are the recommended settings. I do not own a DS4 or any controller, so I can't test this myself. Best of luck.

No, type each character one by one yourself
