Oh nothings working for me now IT had been working. Put your other controllercommands in a safe place before installing.
Does it work for any of you?

Please, be proud of yourself, you have really outdone yourself! (And it works )

Nothing big, but it's a good mod (People can finally stop complaining!!)

After you download this, look at http://sketchup.google.com/3dwarehouse/details?mid=2089b6db29e339096cd8ad826e9017b8 ... it's one of my models that gets MUCH better when you can use the joypad-only features

Oh, and you'll be able to play the normal version of MotorSketch. Not that there's much difference.

OK I musta messed something up after I uploaded it I'll keep trying to put more buttons on.

Ok guys here's the file. NOTICE lb & rb do not work. the controls: joyRY=8&5, joyRX=4&6, a=7, b=9, x=1, y=3. That's all I got right now.

Put this file in place of "controllercomands" in <plugins><sketchyphysics3>.
CPhillips is it possible to get lb and rb working

EDIT: the buttons a b x y weren't working in the update they do work.

Cool! Thanks for doing this. If everyone likes it I will make it part of the next release.

Thanks!

Ok I'll soon have all the keys working. start,select, etc.

The finished project Ahhhh. controls: joyRY=5&2, joyRX=1&3, a=4, b=7, x=8, y=9, lb=0, rb=6, back=minus(-), start=plus(+), leftb=divide(/), rightb=multiply(*) Woohoo

Tell me if something doesn't work right

[CPhillips]

Thanks Phy!! Could you do me one favor. Break out the changes you made so I can update the code. My version has changed so much I am not sure I see all your changes.

Thanks Again!

        a=(@joystate.rgbButtons[0]/-128)+(key('numpad4'))
        b=(@joystate.rgbButtons[1]/-128)+(key('numpad7'))
        x=(@joystate.rgbButtons[2]/-128)+(key('numpad8'))
        y=(@joystate.rgbButtons[3]/-128)+(key('numpad9'))              

For the a, b, x, and y keys I just added +key('numpad 4 7 8 9') to the script that was already there.

I used your joy('rightx') script for the joybutton('a b x y lb etc.).

def joybutton(name)
        name.downcase!
        deadzone=100
        case name
            when "a"
                if(@joystate.rgbButtons[0].abs>deadzone)
                    return (@joystate.rgbButtons[0]/-128)
                else
                    return (getKeyState(VK_NUMPAD4)?1;0.0)
                end
            when "b"
                if(@joystate.rgbButtons[1].abs>deadzone)
                    return (@joystate.rgbButtons[1]/-128)
                else
                    return (getKeyState(VK_NUMPAD7)?1;0.0)
                end
            when "x"
                if(@joystate.rgbButtons[2].abs>deadzone)
                    return (@joystate.rgbButtons[2]/-128)
                else
                    return (getKeyState(VK_NUMPAD8)?1;0.0)
                end
            when "y"
                if(@joystate.rgbButtons[3].abs>deadzone)
                    return (@joystate.rgbButtons[3]/-128)
                else
                    return (getKeyState(VK_NUMPAD9)?1;0.0)
                end 
            when "lb"
                if(@joystate.rgbButtons[4].abs>deadzone)
                    return (@joystate.rgbButtons[4]/-128)
                else
                    return (getKeyState(VK_NUMPAD0)?1;0.0)
                end
            when "rb"
                if(@joystate.rgbButtons[5].abs>deadzone)
                    return (@joystate.rgbButtons[5]/-128)
                else
                    return (getKeyState(VK_NUMPAD6)?1;0.0)
                end
            when "back"
                if(@joystate.rgbButtons[6].abs>deadzone)
                    return (@joystate.rgbButtons[6]/-128)
                else
                    return (getKeyState(VK_SUBTRACT)?1;0.0)
                end
            when "start"
                if(@joystate.rgbButtons[7].abs>deadzone)
                    return (@joystate.rgbButtons[7]/-128)
                else
                    return (getKeyState(VK_ADD)?1;0.0)
                end
            when "leftb"
                if(@joystate.rgbButtons[8].abs>deadzone)
                    return (@joystate.rgbButtons[8]/-128)
                else
                    return (getKeyState(VK_SEPARATOR)?1;0.0)
                end
            when "rightb"
                if(@joystate.rgbButtons[9].abs>deadzone)
                    return (@joystate.rgbButtons[9]/-128)
                else
                    return (getKeyState(VK_MULTIPLY)?1;0.0)
                end
          end
    end  

And for joyRX & joyRY I used this.

  joyRX=0.5+(getKeyState(VK_NUMPAD3)?0.5;0.0)+(getKeyState(VK_NUMPAD1)?-0.5;0.0)
        joyRY=0.5+(getKeyState(VK_NUMPAD2)?0.5;0.0)+(getKeyState(VK_NUMPAD5)?-0.5;0.0)

There's probably some bad scripting in there somewhere.

I have added numpad support on the newest version for joystick. The file is in the first post.

I think you can use a joy stick with the file too. Can one of you guys that have a joystick confirm that for me?
