Ahh, forgot to post my code: function love.draw() world:Draw() local joysticks = love.joystick.getJoysticks() for i, joystick in ipairs(joysticks) do love.graphics.print(joystick:getName(), 10, i * 20) love.graphics.print(joystick:getID(), 150, i * 20) end end So it's the first id, which shouldnt ch...

I'd recommend moving the collision detection of the player into the player file...
