How to use Joystick buttons for more than X & Y ?
« on: February 09, 2008, 06:33:19 PM »
Hi folks,

I have my usb connected joypad enabled as a joystick in the Config Plugins menu item. This works fine as the X & Y axis are controlled. But I would also like to control my Z up/down movement using two buttons (One for Up, One for down) . How can I do this?

Thanks.

Hmmm....did I perhaps post this question in the wrong forum?

Hi TOSTB

I use keygrabber to run my Z axis+ you have the possibility to use other buttons as well

Make a search for keygrabber on the forum

I have never used the joystick plug-in. Like Cory, I use keygrabber with mine. Here is a link to one thread.
