I have been creating a game and it has been working great, except for the fact that i dont know how to make the analog sticks do anything. I've been trying to make it so that the left stick moves and the right stick aims, but i dont know how to make the sticks do anything whatsoever, does anyone know how?
In order to get a value from the sticks, you need to compare 2 general values, and grab the data from the Horizontal and Vertical data. They range from -100 to +100 in each way so if you want to simply test for up and down (for example) compare StickRightVertical > 75 and < -75.
To do an aim, use the direction calculator to turn the XY into an angle, or use maths (Atan2) see my thread about analogue sticks for the correct usage.
Hello Asholay, do you have a link for me?
I thought this would be straight forward, but in the end I was only able to use the normal Buttons from the 360 pad, alltough I miss LT and RT (or LB and RB?)... is there any chance u get those too?
Edit:
Another question just popped my mind: How is it possible to look if you're pressing a Button, or holding down? I use PMO in my Game and need to check if you just tab the button orif you're holding it down to jump higher.
Gogeta - Majority of the XNA help is featured inside the MMF2 help file, just hit F1 inside of MMF and go to Distributing your Applications > XNA.
All the controllers references are in there, which you can then use for PMO related conditions.
Thank you Danny ^^
I found out that under the helpfile -> "the objects -> inventory -> xna objects -> xbox gamepad -> expressions" some lines are stil in french?
- 0 : bouton A
- 1 : bouton B
- 2 : bouton X
- 3 : bouton Y
- 4 : arrière gauche
- 5 : arrière droit
- 6 : back
- 7 : start
- 8 : stick gauche
- 9 : stick droit
- 10 : pad haut
- 11 : pad bas
- 12 : pad gauche
- 13 : pad droit
It just a bit weird because just above, under "conditions" the english translation is perfect ^^
Translation:
- 0: A button
- 1: B button
- 2: X button
- 3: Y button
- 4: Rear Left
- 5: right rear
- 6: back
- 7: start
- 8: left stick
- 9: right stick
- 10: pad up
- 11: low pad
- 12: Left pad
- 13: right pad
Ha sorry, mistake of me. I'll correct it.
By default the button press conditions are repeaters - so if you have a condition that says, player presses B: +1 to counter - it will continuously increase the counter as you press the button.
I guess this makes sense, as you could just limit conditions to prevent this happening.
As for the different xbox buttons, these are all accessible from the xbox gamepad object - make sure you're using this object for your conditions and not the basic joystick/player events?
Yes, just to note if you're using a condition which is triggered by a key/button push you will have to use 'Only one action when event loops' to prevent it from repeating itself.
