In most shooter games there is a key for sprinting/running. I have many of my files for those games and it's no problem. But a few use the same key as sprint to slide down a ladder quickly rather than just slowly climbing down. When I add a line to allow sprinting while moving the stick down, the quadstick starts buzzing and won't output the command properly. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.


In this config sprinting forward works as expected until I added line 12 to sprint moving backwards. Now moving the stick up or down past 70% results in a buzzing sound from the quadstick and the output function stops. If I remove line 12 moving forward and sprinting forward works just fine.

This has baffled me for years so I am finally asking for help.

Thank you.

Try replacing this:

kb_zgreater_than 70up
kb_zgreater_than 70down

with this:

kb_zgreater_than 70any_direction

The up and down are fighting each other in the first example.

If the joystick is down, the first row is setting the kb_z off, then the next row is setting it on, and since it was off, makes the "click" sound.  
If the joystick is up, the first row turns it on, the second row turns it off.  Same click, but the second row wins.

any_direction is the greater value of any of the four directions, so up or down will produce the same value.

Works perfectly! All these years I never noticed the any_direction option. That works out even better. Brilliant!

Thank you Fred.
