Unigine.InputJoystick Class
This class handles joystick input. Generic joysticks can be hot-plugged. So, you can connect your joystick before or after create an instance of this class.
The InputJoystick class provides access to the following controller input:
- Axes detect movement along X and Y axes (if a joystick is two-axis, which is the most typical case) and along Z axis (if it is three-axis one). Two-axis joysticks are configured in such a way that left-to-right movement of the stick is mapped to the movement along the X axis, while movement from backward to forward (down-up) indicates movement along the Y axis. In case of 3D joystick, twisting the stick to the left (counter-clockwise) or to the right (clockwise) corresponds to movement along the Z axis.
Axes are quired for their states via getAxis(). To provide smooth interpolation between frames and avoid jerks, axis values can be filtered via setFilter(). - Buttons correspond to the controller's buttons and can be either pressed or released in the current frame, or continuously pressed for multiple frames in a row including the current one.
- POV (Point-Of-View) hat switches indicate the direction of view and support a number of positions such as left, right, up and down (similar to a D-pad).
InputJoystick Class
Properties
int PlayerIndex#
The index of player for the joystick. Some devices support connection of multiple players (e.g., XBox 360 supports up to four players connected through XBox 360 gamepads).
bool IsAvailable#
The value indicating if the joystick is available.
string Name#
The name of the joystick.
int Number#
The joystick number.
Input.DEVICE DeviceType#
The device type. One of the Input.DEVICE_*values indicating whether it is a wheel, throttle, or other device.
float Filter#
The filter value used to correct the current state of the joystick axis relative to the previous one:
- Filter value of 0 means there is no interpolation and the current value is not corrected.
- Filter value of 1 means the previous state is used instead of the current one.
int NumAxes#
The number of axes supported by the joystick.
int NumPovs#
The number of POV hat switches supported by the joystick.
int NumButtons#
The number of buttons supported by the joystick.
string Guid#
The GUID created on the basis of vendor and product identifiers and product version number. It enables you to identify device model (Controller XBox One, etc.), however, it will be the same for two identical models.
int Vendor#
The unique identifier of the device manufacturer (vendor). This can be very useful in case your application uses non-standard custom input devices to ensure proper configuration (dead zones, inverse flags, correction curves, etc.).
int Product#
The unique identifier for the product (GUID). This identifier is established by the manufacturer of the device. This can be very useful in case your application uses non-standard custom input devices to ensure proper configuration (dead zones, inverse flags, correction curves, etc.).
int ProductVersion#
The version of the product established by the manufacturer of the device. This can be very useful in case your application uses non-standard custom input devices to ensure proper configuration (dead zones, inverse flags, correction curves, etc.).
