Hey guys,

All I'm doing is printing out the joystick z() value after dividing it by 100

"print joystick z()/100"

When I push the stick all the way to the left it says -9, but when I push it all the way to the right it says 10, which throws off my rotation speed. I was wondering if anyone else has this problem, or if it's something in the command.

If it is the command I can simply limit the right value to 9, but if its not the command it will screw it up for other controllers!

maybe explain exactly what you are trying to do, and which joystick?

X360 for Windows pad?

Im using a logitech controller, and im just using the z value to rotate the camera, however the left max value is -9 and the max right value is 10. This makes turning left slower than right

I simply made the max value if it is to the right 9 so that it is the same as being pushed to the left, but if it doesn't have these same different values on other controllers then it will be messed up again!

What does it print if you don't divide by 100? Like this:

Are you sure you are just not pulling it back hard enough?

Check the device properties for dead zones if any...

Im sure that the joystick is going as far as it can, and I don't have any deadzones on it :/

Deadzones are in the centre of the joystick, not on the outside, so I don't know if that would fix it.

I have just tested 4 joypads (2x Logitech USB thingy, 1x Logitech F310, 1x Logitech F510) and they all range from -1000 to 1000 on all axises.

Do you have any other analog input device with which you can compare your joypad with? Also, are you using the newest version of DBP, U77?

I do not, but I'm glad to hear that it is just this controller. Have to get back to work, on break
