joystick. When the joystick returns to its rest position, the value generated
returns to zero. When this is turned on, the joystick represents a change in
the current position. Moving the joystick forward, for example, can cause an
object to start moving, and it will continue to move until you return the
joystick to its rest position.
Joystick Buttons group
Point-of-View Hat (Left-Right, Up-Down) The Sidewinder includes a
mini-joystick on the tip of the main joystick. Specify the direction this joystick
controls in the animation.
1, 2, 3, 4 Specifies one of four buttons in the Sidewinder joystick. They work
similarly to the Point-of-View Hat, except that each button increases a direction
value only while pressed. When you release the button, the value returns to
zero (centered).
Inc./Dec. One of three options available only when you choose one of the
numbered joystick button options. This option (Increment/Decrement) means
that the value is incremented when the button is down, and decremented
when the button is up.
Inc. When turned on, the value increments when the button is down, and
stays at that value when you release the button.
Absolute When turned on, the assigned parameters jumps to the value set in
the Speed spinner when the button is down, and then jumps back to zero
when you release the button. Use this for on/off animations, such as blinking
lights.
Speed Controls the rate at which the value changes when using either the
Point-of-View Hat or the four buttons. When using a button option and the
Absolute option, this specifies the value output when you press the button
(Spinner Value: float, -999,999 to 999,999).
Increment Based On Direction group
Provides controls that let you derive the direction of movement from a
Rotation controller. These options are used primarily when you're animating
a first-person flythrough (such as when controlling a camera).
NOTE The items in this area are only available when you select Accumulate in
Joystick Axis.
Controller Assigns a Rotation controller from which the direction will be
derived.
