Crawling with the Joystick 2 object?

[AndyBazooka]

I just added a crouch and crawl to my movement.

Im using the Platform movement object for collisions and the Joypad 2 object to support gamepad-control.

This is how I want it to work: 1) Hold DOWN to crouch. 2) Keep holding DOWN while holding LEFT/RIGHT to crawl.
This works flawlessly with the keyboard (arrowkeys), but when i try this on the gamepad (more specifically with the D-pad on my 360-controller) it doesn't work.
The problem occurs when I push the D-pad down to the left or right. Im using the "Point-of-view" directions for the gamepad movement in Joypad 2 object.

This is how i've set up the events for the keyboard to crawl:

When:
- Repeat while Player1 Moved down
- Repeat while Player1 Moved left
- X(Negate) Object is jumping * * * * * (platform movement object)
- X(Negate) Object is falling * * * * * * (platform movement object)

Do:
Platform movement object - Set maximum X velocity to 100
Player 1 - Change animation sequence to Crawling

This works fine for the keyboard. But when i try applying this to the Joystick 2 object (more specifically to the D-pad of my gamepad) it doesnt work.

I've tried this without any success:

When:
- Point-of-view joystick1 is backward * *(joystick 2 object)
- Point-of-view joystick1 is left * * * * * *(joystick 2 object)
- X(Negate) Object is jumping * * * * * (platform movement object)
- X(Negate) Object is falling * * * * * * (platform movement object)

Do:
Platform movement object - Set maximum X velocity to 100
Player 1 - Change animation sequence to Crawling


Any suggestions?

So this isn't possible to do with the D-pad of the controller? Only with the stick?
Cause I am currently trying to make this work with the D-pad.

I tried this: Compare to a fixed value:

Equal -
POVDegrees( "Joystick 2 object", 3)

for crawling to the right, but it doesn't work.
what am i doing wrong?

You're forgetting the divided by 45.0 part.
