Hey everyone, decided to post in here even though I'm using GDK because I will probably get a response quicker.

Anyways, so my issue right now is that when I use something like


I only get either a 0 or a 1 (at the slightest touch)... Now, I know I use to use the joystick commands back when I was using just Dark Basic Pro, and never had this issue, now, it seems that I only get one or the other. I cannot set a deadzone because it won't return a decimal value. Anyone with any ideas? Thanks a lot!

I think what you are looking for is

dbJoystickX();
dbJoystickY();

They return an int ranging from 0 to 1000.

You can set a deadzone, and that works with the on/off joystick direction commands. The command is called ... SET JOYSTICK DEADZONE.

It should be available within the GDK.

Get the latest Matrix1Utility plug-ins (11-SEPT-2011)
