Activating a Mod via Gamepad instead of hotkey

NotOfTheWorld

How would one code a hotkey to work with a gamepad? Can it be done with scripthook? Thanks in advance to those that can answer. Also, what's a good resource to learn mod coding so I don't have to bombard you guys with questions? Unless.....ya'll like it???

Use the _IS_INPUT_DISABLED native to check if the gamepad is being used or not and use IS_DISABLED_CONTROL_JUST_PRESSED, IS_DISABLED_CONTROL_JUST_RELEASED, or IS_DISABLED_CONTROL_PRESSED (depends on the situation).

Script Hook V .NET example:

if (!Function.Call(Hash._GET_LAST_INPUT_METHOD, 2)) //gamepad is being used (_GET_LAST_INPUT_METHOD = _IS_INPUT_DISABLED)
{
	if (Game.IsControlJustPressed(2, Control.Attack)) //IS_DISABLED_CONTROL_JUST_PRESSED (list of controls https://github.com/crosire/scripthookvdotnet/blob/dev_v2/source/scripting/Controls.hpp)
	{
		//do stuff
	}
}

The first things you would need to do are pick a language to learn and learn it by watching videos, reading tutorials, reading source code, and/or reading a book on it. After that (or if you've already done that) really all you can do is Google it, read the NativeDB, and find any documentation you can.
