Bevy Virtual Joystick

VJoystick_Fixed_Preview


GitHub Workflow Status GitHub release (latest by date)

Create and use a Virtual Joystick in a UI for bevy Game Engine.

Versions

Aviable and compatible versions

bevy VirtualJoystick
0.14 2.3.0
0.13 2.2.0
0.12 2.1.0
0.11 2.0.1
0.10.1 1.1.2

Features

  • Support Mouse and Touch
  • Easy usage
  • Multiple Joysticks on screen
  • Multiple types of joystick behaviour
  • Track events on Joystick (Press, Drag and Up)
  • Support Axis block (Horizontal, Vertical or Both)

NOTE: To compile android projects you can use cargo-apk or the docker-rust-android project container where you don't have to install or prepare any sdk, for more details see the readme of the mobile projects

Axis

Both (Default) Horizontal Vertical
VJoystick_Fixed_Both VJoystick_Fixed_Horizontal VJoystick_Fixed_Vertical

Joystick Types

Fixed Floating (Default) Dynamic (TODO: Fix movement feel)
VJoystick_Fixed_Both VJoystick_Floating_Both VJoystick_Dynamic_Both

Examples

Features

  • inspect: for world inspect with egui inspector
  • serde (default): for serialization support for all types (usable for save and load settings)
virtual_joystick = {
    version = "*",
    default-features = false,
    features = [ "inspect", "serde" ]
}

Usage

Check out the examples for details.

# to run example
cargo run --example simple -F=inspect

Add to Cargo.toml

[dependencies]
bevy = "0.12"
virtual_joystick = "*" # Add your version

The minimal requirement:

use bevy::prelude::*;
// import crate
use virtual_joystick::*;

// ID for joysticks
#[derive(Default, Reflect, Hash, Clone, PartialEq, Eq)]
enum JoystickControllerID {
    #[default]
    Joystick1,
    Joystick2,
}

#[bevy_main]
fn main() {
    App::new()
        .add_plugins(DefaultPlugins)
        // Add plugin to application
        .add_plugin(VirtualJoystickPlugin::<JoystickControllerID>::default())
        .run()
}

Create Joystick

#[bevy_main]
fn main() {
    App::new()
        .add_plugins(DefaultPlugins)
        // Add plugin to application
        .add_plugin(VirtualJoystickPlugin)
        // Create system
        .add_startup_system(create_scene)
        // update System
        .add_system(update_player)
        .run()
}


fn create_scene(mut cmd: Commands, asset_server: Res<AssetServer>) {
    cmd.spawn(Camera2dBundle::default());
    cmd.spawn_empty().insert(Player(30.));

    // Spawn Virtual Joystick at horizontal center
    create_joystick(
        &mut cmd,
        asset_server.load("Knob.png"),
        asset_server.load("Outline.png"),
        None,
        None,
        Some(Color::rgba(1.0, 0.27, 0.0, 0.3))),
        Vec2::new(75., 75.),
        Vec2::new(150., 150.),
        VirtualJoystickNode {
            dead_zone: 0.,
            id: "UniqueJoystick".to_string(),
            axis: VirtualJoystickAxis::Both,
            behaviour: VirtualJoystickType::Floating,
        },
        Style {
            width: Val::Px(150.),
            height: Val::Px(150.),
            position_type: PositionType::Absolute,
            left: Val::Percent(50.),
            bottom: Val::Percent(15.),
            ..default()
        },
    );
}

Use variable generated by Joystick

fn update_joystick(
    mut joystick: EventReader<VirtualJoystickEvent<String>>,
    mut player: Query<(&mut Transform, &Player)>,
    time_step: Res<Time>,
) {
    // Get player
    let (mut player, player_data) = player.single_mut();

    // Iter each joystick event
    for j in joystick.read() {
        let Vec2 { x, y } = j.axis();
        // Verify ID of joystick for movement
        match j.id() {
            JoystickControllerID::Joystick1 => {
                // Move player using joystick axis value
                player.translation.x += x * player_data.0 * time_step.delta_seconds();
                player.translation.y += y * player_data.0 * time_step.delta_seconds();
            }
        }
    }
}
