Hey guys This is a simple method of getting the right speed / velocity you want the player to move with using the controller!

First, make a text actor and call him"TEST". Then, go to draw actor and put this code in:

Code: Select all

float ls_XAxis = GetJoystick1Axis(0);
textNumber = ls_XAxis;


This will reveal the max X speed you can go with the joystick. My max results were "32768", so I open up the calculator, and type in that number, "32768" then I devide it by how much velocity I want. For example, if I want an xvelocity of "5", I'd divide it by 5.

The results:
32768 / 5 = 6553.6

So now, go to the player you want to have moving with the joystick, and put this code in (After you already put the Xaxis and Yaxis scripts in, find them here)

Use this code in the draw actor of the player or what ever actor your trying to move with the joystick

Code: Select all

xvelocity = ls_XAxis / 6553.6


And now your player will always be moving at an xvelocity of 5

You must do the same with the yspeed

but you could make it work with any joystick by deviding it in the code right
like this

Code: Select all

xvelocity = ls_XAxis / (ls_XAxis = GetJoystick1Axis(0))/5;

Ah, pure genius

somehow I sense an "Illegal division by zero" there

and on another note, ALL joysticks goes from -32767 to 32768, on both axis, and if you have a button pad, it works the same.

lol nah :3 weird though but it doesnt
