support. not really sure about multi-player button support, because that could get complicated real fast.
but I think one controller is a really good idea.
not saying multi-controller support is bad, actually might be kinda good.

EDIT: lets go, 130th king of the page

Thanks for the support! Do you mean complicated to program? Or complicated to use?

This totally sounds awesome, were the button blocks for Xbox controllers? If so, do you think that PlayStation controllers would work?

Support even though I don't have a USB controller, it would be a popular feature and would make more controller players join scratch.

BTW, can I connect ps4 controller to computer, I have a ps4 and would like to use it in my projects if it gets implemented

Projects I want people to see:

Kinda. Windows computers can't use PS4 controllers natively (from what I know), so you'll need to download DS4 Windows to trick your PC into thinking that you're using an Xbox controller.

This is my signature. It is not a part of this post and it appears under every post I make.

Hey there, I'm sonic__fan. I just look for good suggestions to add to Scratch.

All controllers that connect to a computer will work, no matter what brand they are

Alright! Sence that’s the case , here are some PlayStation buttons

when [ Start v] Button pressed

when [Select v] Button pressed

when [ ▵  v] Button pressed

<Controller type [playstation v] ?>

I’m not sure why the scratchblocks look different than what I wanted them to look like

do this at the end of every bloc:

 :: extension

finally back on scratch

There is definitely a feature on Scratch where if you don't follow me, a penguin will come to your house and eat all your food and blow up your fridge.

We don't need PlayStation blocks really… All controllers will use the same blocks! We have been discussing UI choices for a button picker found here: #2445 and here: #2439 So far, this is the idea we have which is based on this website:

Edit: We are trying to make sure it's generic and can apply to all controller brands.

Ah ok! That makes more sence, and now that I think of it, it would be more difficult to add another set of blocks for individual controler brands

Exactly! There are actually hundreds of manufacturers and it'd be impossible to add them all.

Usually in HTML5, buttons are labeled with numbers (button 1, button 2, button 3, and so on).

I was thinking that the blocks would display the button with an icon, but also allow people to do things like this though:

<button (foo) pressed?::extension>

Dose anyone else like this idea?

Maybe the variable could also influence which button is detected, making custom mapping way easier.
By custom mapping I mean the player can map the controller for that game to what they like/prefer, rather than it being the developer's preference and nothing else.
