Joystick 2 left and right trigger

[Bobbyneal100]

i have a xbox 360 controller for cf2.5 using the joystick 2 object. does anyone know the code for pressing left trigger or right trigger?

They use RawZ, and the values go from -996 (left) to 995 (right) - and 0 when both are pressed....the triggers are hard-connected like that, which is unavoidable. However, as if these numbers weren't odd enough, they are actually different depending on whether your player is on Win7 or Win10. On Win10, the numbers go from -995 (not -996) to 995. However, on a virgin Win10 installation where the user didn't manually install xbox gamepad drivers herself, the triggers will actually use Raw Z for the left trigger, and RawZrotation for the right trigger (EDIT: just remembered that this last bit is only true of the Xbox One gamepad, not the 360 gamepad).

In other words, it's a mess. My advice is to use VACCiNE, which I built with the express purpose to clean up this mess (and other related gamepad messes) as much as I was able. It's in my sig.

I used the vaccine, real good, but i cant figure out the codes

If you're using VACCiNE, then you use the inputAccelerator & inputBrake alterable values of the VACinput object to find whether or not the player is pressing the triggers. They return a value between 0 and 1.

For binary controls (ie. either totally pressed or totally unpressed), you could do something like this, which would let the triggers stop and start the blue orb thing:



For analog controls, you could do something like this:



(remembering that inputAccelerator & inputBrake will return a value between 0 and 1.....so if the trigger is held down one-third of the way, it'll return 0.333)
