Hey I got my Gamecube controller working in Blockland.

I couldn't find many resources here on the forums. So I think this will help the next guy along.

Here�s the script I used.

Code: (base/joysticksetup2.cs) [Select]

enablejoystick();

function joyyaw(%nums)
{
	$joyyaw = %nums;
}

function joypitch(%nums)
{
	$joypitch = %nums;
}

function joy2yaw(%nums)
{
	$joy2yaw = %nums;
}

function joy2pitch(%nums)
{
	$joy2pitch = %nums;
}

function joyjump(%val)
{
	jump(%val);
}

function joytogglefirstperson(%val)
{
	togglefirstperson(%val);
}

function joyjet(%val)
{
	jet(%val);
}

function joymousefire(%val)
{
	mousefire(%val);
}

function joycrouch(%val)
{
	crouch(%val);
}

function joyzoom(%val)
{
	togglezoom(%val);
}

function joyusetools(%val)
{
	usetools(%val);
}

function joyinvup(%val)
{
	invup(%val);
}

function joyinvdown(%val)
{
	invdown(%val);
}
function joylight(%val)
{
	useLight(%val);
}
function joyusepaintcan(%val)
{
	useSprayCan(%val);
}
function joytogglebuildmode(%val)
{
	if(%val==1)
	{
		if($joybuildmode==1)
		{
			$joybuildmode = 0;
		}
		else
		{
			$joybuildmode = 1;
		}
	}
	echo($joybuildmode);
}

$joyyaw = 0;
$joypitch = 0;
$joy2yaw = 0;
$joy2pitch = 0;
$joyjet = 0;
function joyloop(%xhist,%xhistm,%yhist,%yhistm,%shist)

}

movemap.bind(joystick0,"xaxis",joyyaw);
movemap.bind(joystick0,"yaxis",joypitch);
movemap.bind(joystick0,"zaxis",joy2yaw);
movemap.bind(joystick0,"rzaxis",joy2pitch);
movemap.bind(joystick0,"button6",joytogglefirstperson);
movemap.bind(joystick0,"button0",joyjump);
movemap.bind(joystick0,"button5",joyjet);
movemap.bind(joystick0,"button1",joymousefire);
movemap.bind(joystick0,"button4",joycrouch);
movemap.bind(joystick0,"button11",joytogglebuildmode);
movemap.bind(joystick0,"button10",joylight);
movemap.bind(joystick0,"button9",joyinvup);
movemap.bind(joystick0,"button8",joyinvdown);
movemap.bind(joystick0,"button2",joyusetools);
movemap.bind(joystick0,"button3",joyusepaintcan);
movemap.bind(joystick0,"button7",joyzoom);
//movemap.bind(joystick0,"slider",joyjet);

I had to use a loop to get the joysticks working properly.(The sticks only send information while they are actively moving.) The problem with the loop is that it causes a TON of console spam if you run a trace with this script running.
So if anyone knows a way around using spammy loops for this I�d be very interested to know it.

Oh my GOD I love you. Trying this immediately.

You're using a USB-modded GC controller, I assume?

TheBlackParrot · April 17, 2014, 01:55:08 AM

Tried it out with a 360 controller using xboxdrv drivers in Linux.
It works ok.

Code: [Select]

// xaxis	left brown townog X
// yaxis	left brown townog Y
// rxaxis	right brown townog X
// ryaxis	right brown townog Y
// button0	A
// button1	B
// button2	X
// button3	Y
// button4	LB
// button5	RB
// button6	back button
// button7	start button
// button8	xbox button
// button9	left brown townog button
// button10	right brown townog button
// ???		left trigger
// ???		right trigger
movemap.bind(joystick0,"xaxis",joyyaw);
movemap.bind(joystick0,"yaxis",joypitch);
movemap.bind(joystick0,"rxaxis",joy2yaw);
movemap.bind(joystick0,"ryaxis",joy2pitch);
movemap.bind(joystick0,"button6",joytogglefirstperson);
movemap.bind(joystick0,"button5",joyjump);
movemap.bind(joystick0,"button4",joyjet);
movemap.bind(joystick0,"button0",joymousefire);
movemap.bind(joystick0,"button2",joycrouch);
movemap.bind(joystick0,"button1",joytogglebuildmode);
movemap.bind(joystick0,"button3",joylight);
movemap.bind(joystick0,"upov",joyinvup);
movemap.bind(joystick0,"dpov",joyinvdown);
movemap.bind(joystick0,"lpov",joyusetools);
movemap.bind(joystick0,"rpov",joyusepaintcan);
movemap.bind(joystick0,"button10",joyzoom);

I was assuming the Z axis would be LT/RT, but nothing responded to them.

EDIT: Deadzones would be great

Kinlord999 · April 17, 2014, 06:27:30 AM

I use a generic 3rd party Xbox 360 controller (USB) and Joystick Mapper on Mac OSX. It works perfectly for any game, but you need the driver from tattiebogle.net.

Yeah. :)

In my setup LT would be "dial" and RT would be "slider". But BL doesn't seem to recognize the dial bit and treats them both as a single slider. So I can't really use either.

of course i'm ignored and whoever does almost exactly what i do gets appreciated

~~welcome to the internet~~

um.. maybe it's because you didn't use a gamecube controller?

well ok, how'd you do yours? Joy2Key?

otto-san · April 17, 2014, 06:43:27 PM

the advantage of this over something like joy2key or xpadder is that this can actually read the input directly from the gamepad as something other than just on/off (e.g. for sliders and joysticks that aren't buttons and would have a float value for 'how activated they are')

additionally, you can implement code to make the game control adapt better with a gamepad by making GUI and whatnot for control, which is absolutely necessary in a game like Blockland

for instance, a controller-driven brick buyer, wrench GUI, or text input method

the disadvantage is that torque's gamepad support is really goofy, but once you get around the goofiness i guess it's not an issue

Night_Hawk · April 18, 2014, 08:52:59 AM

My goodness this would be really fun to use. Did anyone try a PlayStation 3 controller yet?

Cool Boi · April 18, 2014, 11:04:14 AM

holy stuff

Dglider · April 18, 2014, 01:25:02 PM

I made a slightly more advanced version that uses the "Start" button to switch to build mode.

Code: [Select]

LSTICK
	MOVE
LT
	SHIFTBRICKDOWN 1
RT
	SHIFTBRICKUP 1
Z
	TOGGLESUPERSHIFT
Y
	ROTATEBRICKCCW
X
	ROTATEBRICKCW
A
	PLACEBRICK
B
	UNDOBRICK
CSTICK
	MOVEBRICKAWAY
	MOVEBRICKRIGHT
	MOVEBRICKTOWARDS
	MOVEBRICKLEFT
HATU
	MOVEBRICKUP 1/3
HATD
	MOVEBRICKDOWN 1/3
HATL
	SCROLLDOWN
HATR
	SCROLLUP
START
	TOGGLEBUILDCONTROLS

I tried making another version that allows for mouse movement. But the mouse kept snapping back to its original position and I don't know enough about how the gui system works to go any further.

MonkeyFunkyMonkey · April 18, 2014, 06:58:24 PM

Soo how do i use this with an xbox or playstation controller.

with an xbox one i assume you could just plug it in

with a playstation one probably go through DS3 tool to emulate xbox 360 controller
