Controller issues (PC version)

03-18-2003, 01:15 AM

I like to play GTA3 on the playstation2 (because of the controller) but I decided to get it for the PC and get a PS-USB adapter (so i can plug in my PS controller to the computer). The weird thing is, when I try to configure the controller settings in the game, it won't let me set certain buttons to different actions. For example, when I try to set square to driving backwards and square to firing a weapon, it won't let me. This annoys the heck out of me, becasue there's less than 8 buttons on the PS controller (up/down doesn't work for driving in the car) and a whole bunch of different actions. Is there any way to set it to two different things? (in other words the same button for in the car and on foot)

thanks

Sorry, can't help you on that. I don't have the PC game.

Upcoming improvements, new template and music! So what are you waiting for? Go post in the GTA Forum now!

Can anyone tell me what the buttons are for the ps2 version for these:

(just tell me like R2, X, etc)

ON FOOT:

jump
sprint
fire/shoot
enter/exit car
next weapon
previous weapon
target (for firing certain guns)
zoom in
zoom out
look behind

IN CAR:

foward
backward
handbrake
horn
radio
sub-mission (like taxi driver, etc)

I know that's alot but it might really benefit
me if the game let's me set it to those controls and it works. Thanks alot in advance!

ON FOOT:

jump - Square
sprint - X
fire/shoot - O
enter/exit car - Triangle
next weapon - R2
previous weapon - L2
target (for firing certain guns) - R1
zoom in - Square
zoom out - X
look behind - I only know this in a car which is R2 and L2 Together
IN CAR:

foward - Square
backward - X
handbrake - R1
horn - R3
radio - R2
sub-mission (like taxi driver, etc) - R3

I might be wrong on some of these, if I am then correct me.
