Joystick Axis Input on VA possible?
« on: December 12, 2019, 01:51:14 PM »
Hello,

I'm curious if its possible to have VA do joystick axis inputs.

For example, if I wanted to split my joystick's X and Y axis into 5 sections each...

0%
25%
50%
75%
100%

so I can just speak a command like 'right 25%' and VA will then send to the game the input of my joystick being tilted 25% of its max tilt to the right.

Physical joystick devices cannot have their output modified by software; This is the way the DirectX joystick interface (DirectInput) is designed and is not a VoiceAttack-specific limitation.

You can use a joystick driver (which will identify as one or more additional joystick devices, not replace or modify an existing one) that's specifically designed to take input from software, however, like vJoy. A VoiceAttack plugin is available to control that.
