SFML Keybinds

[Dschoonmaker]

Hello, I am making a game and want to add custom keybinds (like in Zloxx II, except with gamepad support).

Currently, I have the game working with my gamepad, but I want users to be able to make it work with custom controls/gamepad.

Thanks in advance.

I think you can have the screen tell the player to press a button, save the button they press, and then set that button to be the button that activates something.

Have a look at chapter 6 of the SFML Game Development book

Wow, thanks for the quick replies, guys! 

verdog, I was thinking something like what you mentioned. Do you know how to save the button they pressed?

Store the value of the keycode given in the keypressed event.

Hapax what about mouse or joystick events?

For mouse you can use Mouse::Button (Documentation).
For joystick events you can use button indexes (which are just numbers) (Documentation)

My bad. I read it as "keybinds" since the point about wanting to add controllers was within the following brackets (in the first sentence).
