Wheel Control

by arda · in Torque Game Engine · 09/29/2005 (1:10 pm) · 1 replies

The wheel control is giving values between [-1, 1] and its also giving values when returning to neutral position.
I bound the xaxis to yaw2.

When I turn the wheel to the left it steers to the left, but when the wheel return to the neutral position itself, steer does not turn to neutral position.

Neither yaw2 nor yaw3 is not working as I expected.

What should I do to make it return to neutral position?

Thanks

function yaw2(%val)
{
	echo("yaw2 = ", %val);
	//$mvYaw += %val; 
	$mvYaw = %val;
}

function yaw3(%val)
{
	echo("yaw2 = ", %val);
	$mvYaw += %val; 
	//$mvYaw = %val;
}

output from yaw2

I think val% returns an integer, say 1, 4, -2, etc. Following shown below is an example I picked up from the console.log. What I did is just to add up several lines of codes in the pitch function in bind.default.cs.

echo("val= ", %val);
echo("getMouseAdjustAmount(%val)= ", getMouseAdjustAmount(%val));
$mvPitch += getMouseAdjustAmount(%val);
echo("pitch= ", $mvPitch);

Output in console-->>

val= 2
getMouseAdjustAmount(%val)= 0.002
pitch= 0.004
val= 2
getMouseAdjustAmount(%val)= 0.002
pitch= 0.008
val= -1
getMouseAdjustAmount(%val)= -0.001
pitch= -0.002
val= 9
getMouseAdjustAmount(%val)= 0.009
pitch= 0.018
val= 5
getMouseAdjustAmount(%val)= 0.005
pitch= 0.01

So, Tunca, I am wondering how you managed to get the decimal returned value for val% although you was doing yaw, I think pitch and yaw run in the exact same way.

Another discovery: when mouse wheel stayed still, no val% was returned, so that both functions would not be triggered. Am I correct?
