Difference between OR and ADD in controls setup

[Kyogre]

what the difference? and if it isn't described in any guide, so maybe developers need to add that hint in Dolphin-wiki?

OR means you can press A OR B on your controller to press that button on the emulated controller. The other I assume you mean is AND which will only press the button if A AND B are pressed.

no, I didn't mistake. Go to controls config and you see: OR, AND, ADD. So AND and ADD are not the same

Ok, using the latest dev builds, going to controller settings, I don't see what you're talking about

envisaged0ne,
Dolphin 5.0 stable. Here is screenshot

That's the add button, so if you want to map multiple buttons to the same function.
OR is stating that it has to be A or B, but not both at the same time
ADD means you can use A, B, and C all at once to press the button, if you were so inclined, as Dolphin would only see that as 1 press.

KHg8m3r,
Have you checked it? I had checked and it is not true. If you assign A | B you can use them even both at the same time and it will work, the same goes for A + B.

OR works the same as || in programming languages (the button will be pressed if A or B is pressed -- note that it is not an exclusive or).
AND is the same as &&. Both A and B have to be pressed.

I'm not sure, but I would guess ADD is to add the values of A and B together (button presses are either 0 (unpressed) or 1 (pressed), but I think you can get values between 0 and 1 with axes).

Edit: in case of doubt, you can always check the source to see what Dolphin is doing. Here's the ExpressionParser.

I'm starting to think ADD functions like it would in Boolean Algebra (0 + 0 = 0, 1 + 0 = 1, 0 + 1 = 1, 1 + 1 = 1, basically OR)

I was thinking the OR was an exclusive OR.
Here is the official explanation: https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=Input_Syntax

Looks like its not documented what the difference is (at least in the wiki)
