Simple Steam Input plugin

This plugin is developed for the use case of detecting controller types from steam input, and exposing this functionality as a blueprint

call for Unreal Engine.

Testing

Unreal Editor

• Add the unreal editor on steam as a non steam game

• Please a steam_appid.txt file in the start in workspace

• import os

• os.getcwd()

- The contents of steam_app_id.txt should be

480

That's an ID of a test game called Spacewar

- Start the Unreal Editor from steam, connect your blueprints and add some print string blocks to verify the controllers are connected properly.

- When unreal exits, the steam_appid.txt will vanish, so either change the working directory or be careful to recreate it everytime you terminate Unreal Editor.

Game build

- Similar to the unreal editor, add a custom build on steam like so

- Place the same steam_appid.txt as in the unreal enditor step, but this time in the START IN directory

- Laungh the game, again Spacewar will show as being played on your steam account.
