JoyStick bindings

[Pah1023]

I'm working to make my Afterglow PS3 controller to work with blockland, and I have gotten the functions to work except a few.

I need to know what are the axis bindings are, I have:
Xaxis - Left brown townog stick left and right.
Yaxis - Left brown townog sick up and down.
Zaxis - Right brown townog sick left and right
And I can't figure out the up and down binding, I tried Z rotation, and plain axis.
Is there even a way to set it up?

Also, I need the function to toggle the camera from first and third view.

What are you trying to figure out? How torque handles joystick input? How to set axis rotation client side?

I already know how to set bindings, I just need the up and down axis of the right brown townog stick, I imagine its something weird, because as I said in the main post, xaxis, yaxis, and zaxis, is already used.

There might only be support for one joystick.

There might only be support for one joystick.

I was afraid I might not be able to get the other brown townog stick to work, I probably will still look around in hopes of finding a way to get it to work.

After I used google, I found this documentation which was what I needed.
Torque 3D - Script Manual: Input Event Listing

Did those work?

Did those work?

Haven't tried yet, but they should.
It'll probably be later or tomorrow when I try.

That's obviously not what he wants.

I remember hearing from a friend that controller support for this version of Torque isn't as easy as a function call because joystick input counts as a button press or something.

Not sure if this is true or not because I never tested for myself.

Yes that is true but I'm using schedules and stuff to get the axis values and applying yaw, pitch and stuff.

When I finish the script I probably will post it so if anyone wants it/needs it.

[Greek2me]

Are you able to detect the stick only being pushed part way, rather than just on or off?

[Pah1023]

Are you able to detect the stick only being pushed part way, rather than just on or off?

Are you talking about percentage of how much it is pushed, if so, yea it does do that, which is good, so the camera doesn't turn to much, I'm finished with the script I'll post it tomorrow when I get on my computer.

JoyStickRing.center();I am planning to work on a chat function, that works similar to the different modes.

Pressing start goes into the set up mode, which you can use the right brown townog stick (Left in racer mode) to change the modes, which down is standard, and bottom right is racer.
