You have a joystick with a hat on top, (like a mini joystick).

The joystick hat command tells you which way the hat is pointing/being pushed...

See that little thing on top of stick, that's a hat.

JOYSTICK HAT ANGLE

This command will give support for reading up to 4 HAT controllers. When the hat controller is neutral, a value of -1 is returned. When the hat is being used, the return value is in tens of a degree so north would be zero, east would be 900, south is 1800 and west is 2700.

SYNTAX
Return Integer=JOYSTICK HAT ANGLE(Hat Number)

--------------------

I believe some hats only have 4 directions but others have 8,i.e. N,NE,E,SE,e.t.c.

The hat is like a little joystick on top of the main stick. Otherwise known as a coolie hat cos it normally looks like the wide conical hats chinese stereotype peasants wear.

The hat is normally a digital switched device in that its either pushed fully to one direction or not, theres no in between. Depending on the direction the hat is pushed the joystick hat angle returns the direction it is pushed as described above.

I think the one I have is 8 directional.
