Joystick Sensor -- Axis: Blender 3D Game Engine

1. Axis

Moving the Joystick triggers the sensor.

Moving the joystick sends a stream of positive pulses to the connected controller

Returning the joystick to the center sends one negative pulse to the connected controller.

2. Number

Number of the axis that triggers the sensor.

Number = 1: Joystick Up/Down and Left/Right

Number = 2: Joystick twist and back paddle

Note: This is for most joysticks

3. Axis Direction

Direction of the axis to use as a trigger event:

Number = 1:

Right Axis = Joystick right axis
Left Axis = Joystick left axis
Down Axis = Joystick down axis
Up Axis = Joystick up axis

Number = 2:

Left Axis = Paddle middle to top
Right Axis = Paddle middle to bottom
Up Axis = Joystick twist left
Down Axis = Joystick twist right

Note: This is for most joysticks

4. Threshold:

Creates a circular dead zone around the center of the joystick.

Range: 0 to 32768

0 = no dead zone.

32768 = all dead zone.

5. Index

Index of attached Joysticks.

0 = 1st joystick

1 = 2nd joystick

etc.

6. All

All axis directions will trigger the sensor

All toggle button enabled:

Number = 1: Moving the Joystick left/right/back/forward

Number = 2: Moving the paddle up/down or twisting the joystick left/right

7. True Level Triggering

When a sensor is activated, it sends one positive pulse to the attached controller(s).

True Level Triggering disabled:

Sends one positive pulse when the sensor is activated.

True Level Triggering enabled:

Continues to send positive pulses as long as the sensor is active.

Note: The number of pulses sent is based on the logic tic rate. Default is 60 times per second.

8. False Level Triggering

When a sensor is deactivated, it sends one negative pulse to the controller.

False Level Triggering disabled:

Sends one negative pulse to the controller when the sensor is deactivated.

False Level Triggering enabled:

Continues to send negative pulses as long as the sensor is deactivated.

Note: The number of pulses sent is based on the logic tic rate. Default is 60 times per second.

9. Trigger Delay

Skips sending pulses to the controller after the 1st pulse is sent

Skips the number entered.

Note: Works with True Level and False Level Triggering

10. Level

Part of the State System.

When the State is activated, it checks to see if a mouse button or a keyboard key is pressed. Sends a pulse to the controller if it is.

11. Tap

When the sensor is activated, a positive pulse is immediately followed by a negative pulse (next frame).

True Level Trigger disabled: Positive pulse becomes a positive pulse immediately followed by a negative pulse (next frame).

True Level Trigger enabled and Trigger Delay = 0: No practical change. Positive pulse is sent every frame. Never has the chance to send a negative pulse.

True Level Trigger enabled and Trigger Delay greater than 0: Each positive pulse becomes a positive pulse immediately followed by a negative pulse (next frame).

Note: False level triggering is ignored when Tap is enabled.

12. Inv

Inverts the output of the triggers.

A positive trigger event sends a negative pulse to the controller.

A negative trigger event sends a positive pulse to the controller.
