Well my script is completed enough for a release, please give feedback and let me know what you think.

This script is designed for the Nyko - Airflo PC but should be customizable for any Dual Analog Gamepad.

That's a very elaborate script, nice work.

I guess your controller is seen as only one joystick after all. I thought it might be seen as two, but if I'm reading the script right, they map the other stick onto some of the other remaining axes.

You might already know that things like the below can be simplified as "Send, m". In addition to performing a little better, there will be less delay because KeyDelay will be done only once:
Send, {m down}
Send, {m up}

If the speed at which keys are pushed down and released is important, this line near the top of the script will make things faster, though it might be too fast for the game to work reliably (especially if you use -1 vs. 0): SetKeyDelay, 0

If you want to make the script easier to reconfigure for a joystick other than the first, there is now a way to do that (I've been meaning to change the posted joystick script to do this too):

In the config section (to make it easier to configure):
joy1_key = z

In the auto-execute section:
Hotkey, %JoystickNumber%joy1, joy1

In the button section: you could replace the double colon with a single colon and make these other changes:
Joy1: ;Joystick Button 1
Send, {%joy1_key% down} ; Push and hold key
...
Send, {%joy1_key% up} ; Release key

Finally, because all variables are global, any time you have something like this:
GetKeyState, state, joy2
it's best to replace state with a unique variable name (e.g. state2). This avoids conflict/interference if you ever press down more than one button at a time.

New version, here it is... still working on it but major bugs are gone.

I notice that you assign values to variables such as joy2bind but you never actually use the variable anywhere. This is probably one of the pending changes.

I have to say this script is GREAT, I learned tons just messing with it and configuring it on my NYKO. I was wondering if anyone could help me with a very basic script that deals with the NYKO. The program I am using doesnt recognize input from the d-pad, so I am trying to re-map it to the "W A S D" keys. I have gotten this far

[Chris]

Well, you were correct about that #persistent, not sure why I was having problems with it before but it's workin like a charm now. I ended up fixing the problem a little differently than you suggested, perhaps you guys can figure out an easier way to do what I did. But, here is a script that will turn the NYKO Point of View hat into a traditional D-pad style controller. Just load this script and tell your program that the d-pad is: w=up, d=right, s=down, and a=left.

[Chris]

Very clever (and simple) solution!

I am hoping to use this to get my XBox controller to work with more games (on PC via USB). It maps fine with Halo, NFS HP2, Simpsons Hit and Run, and some others I tested but I run into the right joystick not working and the right trigger sticking usually making cameras spin around constantly. This is very good work and at the least I will have my PC controller working but my ultimate goal is 100% XBox control support. I just can't "feel" games (or perform I guess) without it. I'm one of those that can do much better with it than keyboard/mouse in FPS (some argue that back and forth). The mouse mapping in AHK is the coolest I am very excited to try this now. I also want to have better mapping for N64 Emus, this may be the ticket.

I noticed that with some Dual Analog gamepads, when you hold down a button it is only registered once by some games where if you hold the button down it repeats a certain action. I changed the script so that the Send. {<key> down} is inside the loop rather than outside. I haven't discovered any bugs with doing it this way.

I will try it thanks

Ok, I am getting much closer. Thanks for your help.

I decided to scrap what I had and so I went back to the scripts above. I combined the mouse script and the POV script above but switched the right and left analog control scripts (so the left analog is the mouse and right is the arrow keys). The POV is wasd keys.

Now everything is working great except for one thing. The right control stick wont do anything in the game. Outside the game it works just fine. I think the issue is that the buttons need to be held down longer inorder to register. I had a similar issue with the joy buttons and solved that with a KeyWait command

[Chris]

I think the issue here is that when you want to combine two scripts, you should merge their auto-execute sections into one big section at the top of the script, then put all the subroutines and hotkeys underneath that section. For example, in your script the "POV to keyboard" will never execute because it's beneath other subroutines. So you might move that part of it that should run when the script starts to the top of the script. The rest can be left at the bottom, though you might have to (or at least want to) merge the two or more timers into one timer that watches the entire joystick.

The concept of the auto-execute section is simply that any commands that occur at the very top of the script get executed immediately when the script launches. There are more details at: http://www.autohotkey.com/docs/Scripts.htm

Thanks Chris, after reading through everything about 3 or 4 times, I figured it would be almost easier to go back to square one. I scrapped the previous script and pieced together the scripts above but I cant get the right analog (wasd) controlls to work.

I edited my post above for more detail. I have almost got it, just that one small issue.

Thanks again for your help.
