How do I use the "has gamepads" condition? [Solved]

Seems simple I know but I'd class myself as someone with a bit of experience.

I'm making a game, I recently tried to add gamepad support. Having never done so it's been a bit of an uphill struggle, but I thought I was making solid progress.

However the "has gamepads" condition doesn't seem to be working at all. Maybe it's my laptop, maybe it's my programming, or maybe it's a bug in Construct 2. If someone else could confirm I have/haven't done something wrong I'd appreciate it.

The event sheets are a bit of a mess, but here's the capx: https://www.dropbox.com/s/m109sytmaje5x ... .capx?dl=0

The easiest places to see what I'm talking about are:

Controls_Enabled = 0 means Mouse & Keyboard, Controls_Enabled = 1 means Gamepad

Event Sheet_Options line35 This to me would suggest you can only activate gamepad control if there was a gamepad connected but that's not the case.

Similarly, Event Sheet_Tutorial (Mouse) line 3 should switch controls from gamepad back to mouse if no gamepad is connected, again this isn't true.

There's also the exact same situation in Event Sheet_World 1 but that's a lot more messy.

Thanks for your help!

EDIT: To demonstrate, here's a link to the game: https://levelupjordan.itch.io/secret?se ... 3GwjkNCj2s

If you enable gamepad in options when there isn't a connected gamepad you will see the behaviour I'm referring to when you are in control of the character.

Your project is indeed messy. Too messy for it not to be faulty I assume but honestly, I can't review 800+ events and tell you how/where.

"Has gamepads" does work as intended in a clear new project.

If it doesn't work as intended in your game, I would then suspect your game's logic is at fault.

I didn't think it was messy enough to be doubly noteworthy!

It's now working and I didn't change a single line, it must just be my laptop being dodgy.

Thanks for your time.

EDIT: And sorry to bother you with something that ended up being nothing at all.
