Re: FlxG.gamepads.anyJustMovedXAxis ?

OK, so I've obtained what I wanted by adding two functions in FlxGamepadManager.hx :

 public function anyMoveXAxis(AxisID:Int):Float
 {
   for (gamepad in _gamepads)
   {
          var axisValue:Float = gamepad.getXAxis(AxisID);

     if ((gamepad != null) && axisValue != 0)
     {
       return axisValue;
     }
   }
 
 return 0;
 }
 
 public function anyMoveYAxis(AxisID:Int):Float
 {
   for (gamepad in _gamepads)
   {
          var axisValue:Float = gamepad.getYAxis(AxisID);

     if ((gamepad != null) && axisValue != 0)
     {
       return axisValue;
     }
   }
 
 return 0;
 }

And by calling them using

public static inline function getAxis():Int
{
 var xAxis:Float = FlxG.gamepads.anyMoveXAxis(LEFT_ANALOGUE_X);
 var yAxis:Float = FlxG.gamepads.anyMoveYAxis(LEFT_ANALOGUE_Y);


 if (xAxis < 0 && yAxis > 0) return 1; // DOWN-LEFT
 else if (xAxis == 0 && yAxis > 0) return 2; // DOWN
 else if (xAxis > 0 && yAxis > 0) return 3; // DOWN-RIGHT
 else if (xAxis < 0 && yAxis == 0) return 4; // LEFT
 else if (xAxis > 0 && yAxis == 0) return 6; // RIGHT
 else if (xAxis < 0 && yAxis < 0) return 7; // UP-LEFT
 else if (xAxis == 0 && yAxis < 0) return 8; // UP
 else if (xAxis > 0 && yAxis < 0) return 9; // UP-RIGHT
 else return 5; // CENTER
}

Do you think it is possible to add those two functions into haxeflixel sourcecode? Or is there a simple way to do the same without that?

Thanks

Hi, I'm still struggling ith the gamepads... I'm trying to get each and every gamepads to do the same thing.
For pressing buttons, I'm using FlxG.gamepads.anyJustPressed(buttonID). But for the joystick movement, I'm clueless...

Here's what I tried to do:

private var gamepad:FlxGamepad; override public function create():Void { super.create(); FlxG.gamepads.globalDeadZone = Util.DEADZONE; } override public function update():Void { super.update(); gamepad = FlxG.gamepads.lastActive; if (gamepad != null) { var newAxis:Int = getAxis(gamepad); switch (newAxis) { case 1: // DOWN-LEFT, do thing.... case 2: // DOWN, and so on... } } } // Retrieve Gamepad Axis as an Int corresponding to the numeric pad directions private function getAxis(gamepad:FlxGamepad):Int { var xAxis:Float = gamepad.getXAxis(0); var yAxis:Float = gamepad.getYAxis(1); if (xAxis < 0 && yAxis > 0) return 1; // DOWN-LEFT else if (xAxis == 0 && yAxis > 0) return 2; // DOWN else if (xAxis > 0 && yAxis > 0) return 3; // DOWN-RIGHT else if (xAxis < 0 && yAxis == 0) return 4; // LEFT else if (xAxis > 0 && yAxis == 0) return 6; // RIGHT else if (xAxis < 0 && yAxis < 0) return 7; // UP-LEFT else if (xAxis == 0 && yAxis < 0) return 8; // UP else if (xAxis > 0 && yAxis < 0) return 9; // UP-RIGHT else return 5; // CENTER }

Problem is, I only get the last gamepad axis input, even if it is 0, 0.
I think the problem comes from gamepad = FlxG.gamepads.lastActive;
I tried gamepad = FlxG.gamepads.getFirstActiveGamepad(); but the result is worse. It only moves from time to time...

So why isn't there a FlxG.gamepads.anyJustMovedXAxis() ? or something like that? What did I miss?
Thanks for your help :)
