Program request [ not insim :) ]

[samforey12345]

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 :razz:

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? :p

[samforey12345]

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:D

[dougie-lampkin]

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 :D

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

[samforey12345]

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... :schwitz:

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

Already been done :) Good little program, too. (http://forum.racesimcentral.com/showthread.php?t=232514) :)

[samforey12345]

w00t /me goes and tries it out :razz:

[mcgas001]

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

[samforey12345]

You should do it anyway too get practise :razz:.

:O i dont need practice.. I made loads of things :p, Look in my sig ;)

[JamesF1]

i dont need practice..

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

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:schwitz:. Have you already got the program? If so could you do me a favour and upload it please..

[evilpimp]

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'.

[samforey12345]

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