CodeMonkey JoyStick with fire button problem?

BobD

Need HELP!! I have seen past posts about the JoyStick thumbstick becoming locked when a simple fire button is touched.

Has anyone solved this issue and can you please post your solution.

I have been trying for 2 days trying to make it work.

Thanks, Bob

im working on that, however i havnt found a solution. I have tried deleting the timers from the touches and that seems to help by making the glitch nto happen as often. I havnt found a solution yet. Have you?

My solution to the control-locking issue is in The Unofficial GameSalad Textbook. Basically... I'm not using those little touch sensors. Instead, I use rules based on touch position.

If the controller is touched...
...If TOUCH #1 IS IN RANGE - then use the touch data for controlling the character
...else if touch #2 is in range -
...else if touch #3 is in range
...etc

Without those invisible sensor actors, my controllers are more reliable and more optimized. There's a picture of the setup in the book... Chapter #7 controls.

This control method is used in BOT.

I had this problem for a long time. Utopian made a template called GSControls new and fixed this.
