Hi, is it possible for someone to make a program which acts as a button click when it hits a certain degree of angle (sheesh this is hard to explain), so say if i got my joypad could you make it do what's shown in the jpg image attached please? If you don't get me just say and i'll try and explain better. I have no idea if this is possible.. just wondering.. you know would be useful

cheers,
Sam

Well, It IS possible. Theres a few things thats needed tho. What type of pad do you have? and what button is what?

Nah, well to tell you the truth i am thinking of making a homemade H- Shifter because i'm to cheap to buy one + i love making things, but i thought it would be easier to dismantle the joypad down to the axis and attach a gear stick onto it.. you know

If you REALLY love making things, it would be far easier to dismantle the pad so that 7 buttons are out, and arrange them in your H pattern. Then fashion a stick of some sort that hits the buttons when you move it into gear. Then make a case for the whole thing. Sounds tricky, but it would be easy enough if you knew what you were doing.

I just bought a H-shifter

Noo me prefers axis idea, it is better as i dont have to make a bloody ball joint..

Is there any people who are going to give it a shot, because if there isn't, i screw the idea...

Ill "try" but i cannot promise anything, This is a step into the unknown part of programming for me...

Ok, cool, i'll keep thinking about the design, then and see what your out come is. Thanks

btw, What Joypad is it? Make model etc etc..

Already been done Good little program, too.

w00t /me goes and tries it out

Even more woot, I no longer have to go into the unknown :hide:

You should do it anyway too get practise .

A programmer always needs practice... remember that and you'll always be able to improve

Good point acutally......

James thanks for the link, but i don't know whats wrong... when i click his attachment a window comes up, but there isn't a download, its just blank. Have you already got the program? If so could you do me a favour and upload it please..

Im guessing the joystick needs force feedback to work as a shifter?

Ahh, yeah, sorry... RSC downloads are broken at the moment. I don't have it, no, as I have my trusty Act Labs shifter to do the job for me. I don't know where else you could get it, though. You could always PM/email the original poster?

I think it works without it as well, though I'd question it's effectiveness without some means to generate some 'guide'.

I think i'll just wait until it's working again, as i'm not in a rush. Thanks
