FreePie and vJoy

Post by adi »

Hey there :)
Tring to build a platform to train disabled people to use electric wheelchair.
I have a unique "joystick" for this purpose that function as a mouse and for the simulator I had to use vJoy (I wanted the simulator to read it as a joystick).
The simulator is not mine and I can't do any changes in it.

I found a FreePie code that work's great
BUT - when you use it in a car simulator, you want that if you don't move your mouse at all, the speed wouldn't change.
In my case - I want that if the mouse is not moving, the wheelchair in the game breaks itself.

The code I'm using is:

Code: Select all

	# =============================================================================================
	# /////////////////////////////// F1 2014 Mouse Steering Script ///////////////////////////////
	# =============================================================================================
	# This is a modified script, the original script was written by Skagen 
	# url: https://www.lfs.net/forum/post/1862759#post1862759
	# =============================================================================================
	# This script will use 2 axes 
	# 1. Steering (X-Axis)
	# 2. Throttle and Brake (Y-Axis)
	# =============================================================================================
	# Use vJoy Feeder to set the axes in game
	# This script allows full car control with just the mouse
	# Move the mouse up to control the throttle and down for brakes
	# =============================================================================================
	
	
if starting:    
    system.setThreadTiming(TimingTypes.HighresSystemTimer)
    system.threadExecutionInterval = 5
    def calculate_rate(max, time):
        if time > 0:
            return max / (time / system.threadExecutionInterval)
        else:
            return max

    int32_max = (2 ** 14) - 1
    int32_min = (( 2** 14) * -1) + 1
    
    v = vJoy[0]
    v.x, v.y, v.z, v.rx, v.ry, v.rz, v.slider, v.dial = (int32_min,) * 8

    steering = steering_max

    steering = steering_min
v.x = int(round(steering))

if throttle > throttle_max:
    throttle = throttle_max

    throttle = throttle_min

Could you describe in more detail what is the result you are getting now and what would you like it to be?

Thank you for your replie! :)

Now when I take my mouse / joytick upward it starts driving, but if I stop going upward, it keeps driving in the same speed.

I need that when the emulator detects that the mouse is not moving it would brake the vehicle.
