Ever wanted to pilot an armed drone and take down your enemies from afar? Well, with this mod and an XBOX 360 controller, you can. Plug in two XBOX 360 controllers, craft the item 'Drone Controller' from Iron and Wire at a work bench, equip it to an accessory slot and you're ready to take down enemies from afar.
For more fun, hand the controller to a friend and have them pilot the drone while you play like a Boss!
Craft the Drone Controller at a work bench from Iron/Lead and wire. Equip it to an accessory slot to spawn a drone. Pilot with the left stick and shoot with the right. Fire a grenade with the right shoulder button and enter/exit autopilot mode with start.
No XBOX controller, but another kind of controller? No problem. Just use TocaEdit (https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4uhife6gGJnekt0QTg1TnN6WlE/view) to emulate any controller as a XBOX controller. I've been using a DualShock 2 controller with an adapter and it works great.
To install ToCA EDIT, follow the link above and download the .zip file. Locate the file x360ce.exe within one of the .zip files and copy it to your Terraria directory within your Steam folder, which should be \Steam\SteamApps\common\Terraria. Run x360ce with both of your non-360 controller plugged in and configure controller 2. Click save once you are done and close TocaEdit before you launch tModLoader. Ensure you have your configured controller plugged in before starting tModLoader.
The release of 1.3.1 messed up how my mod worked. The only solution that I have found is to map the drone to controller 2, which means that you need two controllers connected at the same time to use my mod. If someone knows a way to disable Terraria's inbuilt controller mode, either using mods or by some external method, please let me know.
I'm not sure where else to go with this mod, and I have other mods that I want to work on more. So I'm also including the source code for this mod so that other people can innovate on my idea.
