    Useful controller icons for Skill Game Instructions

    When you make a Skill Game, in the instructions you may want to add descriptions of how the skill game is played and what the buttons do. Instead of typing out 'push A Button to jump', etc, you can use code strings to display controller icons like we have in our Skill Game instructions and the mini games in RedLynx Picks.
    Most of these code strings are below. Just copy any of the strings into your sentence.

    %linebreak%
    %button_a%
    %button_b%
    %button_x%
    %button_y%
    %button_lt%
    %button_rt%
    %button_lb%
    %button_rb%
    %button_start%
    %button_back%
    %lstick%
    %rstick%
    %lstick_both%
    %lstick_left%
    %lstick_right%
    %rstick_both%
    %rstick_left%
    %rstick_right%
    %lstick_click%
    %rstick_click%
    %dpad_up%

    Example-
    'Use %button_a% to jump.'

    Can this be stickied in the editor section? This will prove very useful!

    That's looking great! I would suggest having the right stick swing the camera around if that's possible, I'm sure things would get complex doing that, but I'm sure for that car to drive like it does they must already be pretty complex.

    Again, nice job.

    When using these will it take up just one character in the allowed description length, or will it use up, for example, 10 if i was to use %button_y%, even though only a Y symbol taking up 1 character space will be shown in the final description?

    It unfortunately takes up the full code amount.

    Is there any way we could get the full list of these? I have been trying every possible combo to get rstick up and down, but I can't figure out what the string is. Rstick both up and down is what I need, but I'm sure others would benefit from the full list
