My movement is ignored and I can't press a button to restore it

[josm]

Maybe there is an easy work around but I never encountered this problem because I never used joysticks before. When my character press button 1 I say ignore controls. But it can't press button 1 to restore them because they are ignored. How do I fix this? Help would be greatly appreciated.

I can't see how that would work - because you would always be activating / deactivating the controls in an endless loop - the first time you press the button you deactivate it, the next time you activate it, but then you would need to press it again to fire for example, and that press will deactivate it again. Ignore controls will ignore the built-in features, not ignore the button being pressed but you do have to tell Fusion what should happen then if the button is pressed.

In any event the way you'd go about it would be something like this:

Set an alterable or global value and then test for that value:

button is pressed
+ value x = 0
+ flag is off

set value x = 1
set flag on
ignore control

button is pressed
+value x = 1
+flag is off

set value x = 0
set flag on
restore control

Is flag on?

set flag off (This is just a block to make sure the 2 lines don't run consecutively and place this bit ahead of the other 2 lines.)

So this still doesn't work because once he is ignored he can't press again to return because the button is apart of the controls that is being ignored. I tried this too but it still didn't work. Any other ideas?

Put your joystick controls that affect your character's movement and actions into a group of events that you can deactivate/activate with a button press.
