Adding more than 2 players on a game (couch co-op)?
I am making this multiplayer game, and I was gonna make a separate turbowarp version with more content, features, and most importantly, up to 8 player support (or less if gameplay gets too chaotic in a bad way). I already have 2 players working, but I was wondering if it was possible to add at least one more player (on the scratch version).
my idea is to use that gamepad addon and map its inputs to non-existent keys, is this possible or do you have any other suggestions for this?
I’m mostly asking to know if I should focus on making the scratch version to work with more than 2 players, or if I should hard-code the 2-player limit on it to simplify operations.

Do you mean an online game, or a in person game? if you are doing in person, I would recommend you use wasd, arrow keys, and just some other similar shapes in the keyboard like jhuk, vbgn, tfgh, and other similar stuff.

The thing is that a 3rd or 4th player wouldn’t really fit on the keyboard, (although maybe a 3rd player could work on one of those big keyboards, maybe uncomfortably).
So basically what I’m asking is how to make gamepads work on vanilla scratch for the other player/s.
