Take Your Joystick Control!

[elgabionline]

Hello, here I want to share with you this script, that contains some functions to use the Joystick. I already proved all the functions and they are well, so I wait that to you also.

Those functions are:

JoyMoveLeft ($joy_number,$sensivity)

JoyMoveRight ($joy_number,$sensivity)

JoyMoveUp ($joy_number,$sensivity)

JoyMoveDown ($joy_number,$sensivity)

$sensivity is a percent value (for analogic Joysticks) 90% is default

(All functions for joystick directional moves)

JoyButtonPressed ($joy_number,$joy_button) $joy_button is a numeric input as 1, 2, 3... n)

JoyGetID ($joy_number) $joy_number is a numeric input as 1,2... n)

JoyMaxNumber () Maximum number of joysticks supported by your system

[iMPORTANT!!] These scripts needed to run, the beta version 3.1.111 of autoit.

[EDIT] 4 April 2006: I added new parameters to the functions.

I hope comments and if it was them useful. Bye...

is there a way to emulate a mouse as a joystick for this

[nfwu]

So, these functions control a joystick.

1 question: Can I control a joystick which has its drivers installed but is not attached to my computer?

What do you mean with "attached"? Use Joystick Plug in your computer, of course!

This script read a system driver of Win98, not a manufacturer software included with your Joystick. Did I answer your question, or didn't I understand well?

[elgabionline]

To emulate a mouse in windows with Joystick control, I put this simple script, for example:

Press first button and open "Programs folder". Or hold this button and directional movements of joysticks, and mouse emulate it.

Press second button (while hold first button of joystick) for decrease mouse speed.

[zeroZshadow]

he means the other way.

so if i move my mouse up, the joystick moves up.

might be handy for games that support a mous and a joystick, but you want 2 mouses

[Dellairion]

hehe very helpfull i will include it in my hotkey controller

[TheArtifice]

Is there a way to when I Press a Key on the Keyboard, It do a Joystick InPut ?

Example: Press the UP key on the Keyboard = the UP with a stick on a Joystick.

[smstroble]

I can't get the demo test to work.

I'm using a USB Microsoft Sidewinder Precision 2 and I'm on Windows XP.

Looks nice hopefully I can get this to work.

Your program looped without sleep, causing 100% cpu usage.

To emulate a mouse in windows with Joystick control, I put this simple script, for example:

Press first button and open "Programs folder". Or hold this button and directional movements of joysticks, and mouse emulate it.

Press second button (while hold first button of joystick) for decrease mouse speed.

Hi, I was wondering If I can Send joystick movements to a Window without actually moving the Joystick.. Can this be done with your script?

Hi to all members here. Thanks for their comments and replies.

I was thinking about your ideas. While I was analyzing this, the biggest problem that I found is get to be able to simulate Joystick commands "Send", at the game. There were not problems in attempting "record" the movements with a script logger (like a "Joysticks catches"), but: how to carry out the commands to the window?

That would be hindering me the things (and for the time being, I don't see solution).

I try with some calls to the functions built in winmm.dll but all attempts failed. I think that it could also be some protection in the games, although I'm not sure. It's a pain for me that I couldn't find this problem to "solve it in advance".

Well, I'll be searching for any ideas.. (or if I devised something) Bye!

[FuryCell]

Anyone able to run this on Vista? I tried both the mouse script and the default test and all I get is a stack error.

i Want to say its Wonderfull. i think that u made this tool for me

[majklcze]

Joystick mapping works like charm but can this be done for simulating Joy movings??? i need something to control joystick move

[Swift]

Why is this not working for me? Everytime I close the first dialog, on the test, it crashs, it says: AutoIt has encoutered an error and needs to close. Why?

[TitanX]

heya i would like to ask if someone could tell me or just give me a hint or something...how could i make that i control joystick buttons with keyboard...like with autoit i likely pressing 2 buttons all the time and those 2 buttons are clicking 2 joystick buttons...

thanks for your help!

Reading about Joystick and AI interactions...

Now i'm inoffice so i can't try, but udf is capable to detect also analog stick ? (and their diagonals?)

Thank you for any info,
