Legacy/Control Scheme Script

[claw]

Longtime Legacy player here and I've grown increasingly frustrated with it's lack of inclusion in most games these days. So, I made a stick select script that you can cycle between control schemes on the fly. This is useful for parts of games where Legacy is cumbersome, such as driving or parachuting on PUBG. I know, I should adapt and play Default, which I have to a degree, but even playing Default since the first Gears of War, I've never been as good as when I had Legacy. I realize this is probably of no use to most people, but hopefully it helps few rare remaining Legacy players.

Code: Select all

#pragma METAINFO("claw's stick select", 1, 9, "")
 
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// This script allows you to switch between control schemes on the fly in game
// by pressing in the Right stick, and pressing a direction on your D-Pad.  When
// changing control schemes, controller will rumble and the Titan Two will flash
// purple.
 
// When either Legacy controls are selected, the forward movement stick has  
// added forward/backward movement to compensate for looking left/right.   
// Without the compensation, a character can't walk fullspeed while turning.  It
// currently has a bit of a greedy implementation and I want to update it to use
// the angle of the sticks in combination with the forward movement velocity,
// but haven't quite figured it out yet.
 
// D-Pad Directions:
// UP: Default
// Down: Legacy
// Left: Southpaw
// Right: Legacy Southpaw

Nice Script! Thank you for sharing with us. Please also consider publish it on Gtuner's Online Resources (tools menu -> Publish).

Any update on whether this script works on the Titan One? Would like legacy stick layout for fortnite and splitgate.
