Hi guys & gals,

I've mapped out every single control element of the XBOX 360 controller (for PC) except for the D-Pad, which I assume would translate to the Hat switch on joysticks. Does anyone have any idea how to reference this in AppGameKit?

Thanks in advance.

You need v2 alpha 8 for full 360 controller support. Not yet tested though.

Ok, well the d-pad isn't very important. I'll just stick with what I've mapped. Thanks.

The triggers also doesn't work properly. IIRC they cancel each other out. Or maybe they did something else?

Not tried v8 but yes, earlier versions had one trigger going zero to one and one going zero to minus one. So if you pulled both you got zero. Really pleased v8 has added full support. When I get that far in my game I'll definitely be exploring the possibilities.

Yeah the X axis do cancel each other out, but if you use it for some kind of directional movement it shouldn't be a problem.

Here's the code I came up with if anyone is interested. It's got enough functionality to be pretty darn useful.

Wow! That's a really great script! Thank you very much for sharing this with us!

Somehow the right trigger (analogue button right) is not working.
I played a bit with the script and found that you have to use GetRawJoystickRZ for the right analogue button.

Yes, I am aware that I sound like a caveman to native english speakers
