I started messing around with an XBox 360 controller and for the most part it works, but I came across a little hickup. I want to use the left stick to control the player’s movement. The player can only go left or right most of the time. Here is the code I have: (When the stick is not being used it is centered, at 50 percent).
if(joystick.getXAxisPercentage() < 40)
player.moveLeft();
if(joystick.getXAxisPercentage() > 60)
player.moveRight();
This works well, but only when the stick is seemingly centered on the YAxis (50 percent). As soon as you veer off on the center of the Y Axis a little bit, the player stops moving, even if the XAxisPercentage is over 60. I tried adding checks for the Y Axis as well, but it did the same thing. Shouldn’t the player keep moving even if the Y Axis isnt centered, or am I missing something?
