STAR WARS™: The Old Republic™ – How to play swtor with a Xbox controller(PS optional)

With the use of GlovePie a opensource script program, you can map keyboard or mouse buttons to pretty much any device.

I was bored and made a compatible basic script for the xbox one controller.

It covers movement, camera panning, jumping, 5 ability keybinds, tab targeting and right click looting.

Where to get glovepie, I downloaded my version www.softonic.nl – https://www.softonic.nl/download/glovepie/windows/post-download

Simply download it, unzip or extract it to a location of your choosing and launch the .exe

And paste the following script in to the compiler and select run.
____________________________________________________________________________

//Set right stick inversion preference (True or False)
var.Inverted = false

//Set dead zones Values between 0 and 1
var.LdeadX = 0.25
var.LdeadY = 0.25
var.RdeadX = 0.25
var.RdeadY = 0.25

//Left Stick – Movement

keyboard.LeftShift and keyboard.W = Xinput.Joy1Y > var.LdeadY
keyboard.LeftShift and keyboard.S = Xinput.Joy1Y < -var.LdeadY
keyboard.LeftShift and keyboard.A = Xinput.Joy1X < -var.LdeadX
keyboard.LeftShift and keyboard.D = Xinput.Joy1X > var.LdeadX

// Right Stick – Mouse Pointer
// To change the lookspeed, increase or decrease the number preceding the deadzone – default is 20
if Xinput.Joy2X < -var.RdeadX or Xinput.Joy2X > var.RdeadX then Mouse.DirectInputX = Mouse.DirectInputX + 15*deadzone(Xinput.Joy2X)
if var.Inverted = true then{
if Xinput.Joy2Y < -var.RdeadY or Xinput.Joy2Y > var.RdeadY then Mouse.DirectInputY = Mouse.DirectInputY + 15*deadzone(Xinput.Joy2Y)
}else{
if Xinput.Joy2Y < -var.RdeadY or Xinput.Joy2Y > var.RdeadY then Mouse.DirectInputY = Mouse.DirectInputY – 15*deadzone(Xinput.Joy2Y)
}
//360 Buttons ABXY
keyboard.space = Xinput.A
keyboard.1 = Xinput.X
keyboard.2 = Xinput.Y
keyboard.3 = Xinput.B
keyboard.4 = Xinput.LeftShoulder
keyboard.5 = Xinput.RightShoulder

// 360 Bumpers
keyboard.Tab = Xinput.RightTrigger
mouse.RightButton = Xinput.LeftTrigger

I tweaked an existing script in order to make this one possible.
Feel free to adjust and share the script with others.
You can apply the same script to pretty much any other game that has no controller support.

I would recommend saving the script for regular game-play.
I will be creating a script for star fighter in the near future, as it was my main focus.
You can run and stop any script while the game is active, this will allow you to switch between scripts for example regular gameplay and starfighter scripts on the go without having to restart the game.

Hope you’ll enjoy the script and let me know if you want me to share the star fighter script.
