How to program Z-Axis for Aim+Shoot?

[HeartOfGermany]

Hello. I am running into a logical problem. If you aim with a controller, Z goes negative. If you shoot, it goes positiv. It is 0 if you press neither. But if you aim and shoot, it is 0 aswell...

How do games like Far Cry or basically any egoshooters and racing games detect, that you have pressed both?

I remember, I had a problem, when trying to map SNES9X to my Asus controller, because I needed Z axis. It was not supporting to press both of course, because it returns value 0...

What do I need to do, to come around this? Is it switching between negative and positive as fast as it can or is there a "proper" way to archive this?

Thanks so far. I don't get it... If you guys also know a solution how to detect "Aim+Shoot" or "Break+Gas" separately for other applications, it would be an amazing bonus.

Just to say: I am amazed a lot by this tool, even though I am not getting results as intended. It however is the first tool that succesfully did something like "When pressing 'G' on keyboard, press Button number "..." on controller". It basically just seems to work as I want it to. Very amazing. Thanks for dev. <3

Ok, can be closed or deleted. I found it all out. I am happy with the results. Other Problem occours that is to much offtopic, so I'll open new thread.

1 or 2 snippets in there that are unneccesary. Started with another ones code. Basically nothing left. But no cleanup was done. Hope it helps someone. Feel free to use it in ANY way.
