mux | Input Controller Component
mux
Configuring a mux (multiplexed) input controller allows you to combine one or more controllers into a single virtual controller.
This lets you control a machine from different locations, such as the web and a locally connected gamepad, or use multiple controllers as one device.
For example, you could use a joystick alongside a numpad.
Configuration
To combine multiple controllers into a mux controller, you must first configure each controller individually.

The following example configuration combines a gamepad and a webgamepad controller:

The following attributes are available for mux input controllers:
| Name | Type | Required? | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
sources |
array | Required | The name of every controller component you wish to combine input from. |
Important
You must put each controller’s name that you add in sources in depends_on.
This tells the program loading the config to fully load the source components first.
Test the input controller
After you configure your input controller, open the input controller’s TEST panel on the CONFIGURE or CONTROL tabs. View the current value of each input on your controller.
