You can find MultiHIDInput.exe in your Moviesandbox directory in a folder called 'MSBTools' or get it from the [[Downloads]] page.

<h3>Working with Devices</h3>
Multi HID Input allows the communication of an Input device such as a joypad or a WiiMote with Moviesandbox. As for now, i would advise testing a simple gamepad or joystick. WiiMote and Gamtrak testing will be explained soon.

# Connect a Gamepad. 
# Open Multi HID Input - the gamepad should be listed in the white box.
# set the Channel to '''1'''
# Hit the '''Connect''' Button - you should see numbers appear on the text box on the right that correspond to the state of the gamepad.
# Open Moviesandbox with the DM-1on1-Albatross level (for a start).
# Place a standrad Unreal Pawn.
# If you never created a pose, try and do that now. Look [[Posing_your_Character |here]] if you don't know how.
# Right click on your Pawn. 
# select '''UdpPadChannel''' and type in '''1'''.
# select '''Pad'''
# click on the Button '''1''' and select a Pose.
# De-select by clicking on an empty part of the screen.
# hit space to start the movie.
# press the button corresponding to '''1''' and see if the character takes the pose youo assigned.
# repeat for different buttons and poses.
