Title: Joystick axis
Post by: shinodan on January 25, 2013, 05:15:55 PM

I know this is a really noob thing to ask, but hey im having my first go at trying to make a game that works with a joypad!

I have mapped my inputs all well, but i have no idea how i would get the axis of the right joystick for in game use,

I have it working with keys, there is a dude and he looks in the direction of the mouse, for that i just used the mouse look action, does anyone know how i could achieve something similar with the joystick?

Use the get axis vector, then split the vector 3 in to XYZ floats.

The vector still isnt getting any response from the joypad, is my input setup correctly? the right stick horizontal i thought was 4th axis, but it wont let me put anything in negative or positive button :S

hi,

 It's likely a set up issue unfortunatly. Have you looked around the web for some joystick bridges to make it easy to set it up?

bye,
