Thanks for all the help. I will have to go back and read the tutorials again.
I must admit that I read them real fast first time.
I was mistakenly told by a friend that the R1 button was the one to use.
On PS4 it is set up as this
L1 = Power 1, which right now fires my gun as well as the R2 button which fires the gun
L1 + R1 = Power 2 which right now Ryder gets a glow in the hand and then fires some kind of beam
R1 = Power 3 which is the lifting effect.
I will go back and check the settings.
Thanks again.
