Virtual joystick output plugin issue

[Birtdawg]

I was looking for a method to use a voice command that would output a controller action and came across the forum regarding the virtual joystick output plugin. The main game that I am attempting to use it for is Fortnite, but I am looking to use this for other games as well. I'm currently having an issue with the plug in. I believe that I have installed it correctly as when I attempt a command it lights up in the monitor application, but the action does not happen in game. I have set the context for the correct button and it is correctly displayed in the monitor application, but in Fortnite nothing happens. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, there.

If you are issuing a command in VoiceAttack, and vJoy's monitor app is displaying the appropriate button/pov/axis, then the plugin is installed properly and is working.  You'll want to make sure that Fortnite has the vJoy device selected as its controller for input.

Ok,thank you!

I have no personal experience with vJoy, but as far as I'm personally aware, vJoy itself provides DirectInput devices, I.E. joystick devices.

Games that are designed for Xbox-style controllers instead use XInput, and usually don't implement DirectInput joystick support at all.


Unless the game support DirectInput joystick devices, you'd need to find a way to "convert" input from a DirectInput device to an XInput device.
A quick search engine query came up with this project.
