Confused on how to make joystick to work

[kingslovelua]

So I post up that I couldn't get TLbind to work for me here:viewtopic.php%20f=5&t=3781&start=20 , but I never got answer on why I couldn't get it to work, well I never got a answer at all. Now I basically just want to keep it simple and just write up the code to make joystick work.

I figured out how to use the keyboard api, I was thing it would be the same but I guess I'm wrong. This is how I tried to implement joystick.

Code: Select all

if love.joystick.isDown( joystick, 1 ) then
       player.body:applyForce(10, 0.0)
      print("moving right")
    elseif love.joystick.isDown( joystick, -1 ) then
        player.body:applyForce(-10, 0.0)
      print("moving left")
    end
    if love.joystick.isDown( joystick, 2 ) then
        player.body:applyForce(0, -500)
    elseif love.joystick.isDown( joystick, -2 ) then
       player.body:applyForce(0, 100)
    end   
   
  -- as I did with love.keyboard.isDown which worked 


 if love.keyboard.isDown("right") then
       player.body:applyForce(10, 0.0)
      print("moving right")
    elseif love.keyboard.isDown("left") then
        player.body:applyForce(-10, 0.0)
      print("moving left")
    end
    if love.keyboard.isDown("up") then
        player.body:applyForce(0, -500)
    elseif love.keyboard.isDown("down") then
       player.body:applyForce(0, 100)
    end   

Code: Select all

then I put love.joystick.isDown( 0, 1 ) 

and it moved on it's own and i tried the same with

Code: Select all

if  love.joystick.getHat(0 , 1 )then 
 objects.block1.body:applyForce(10, 0)
end 

and it also moved on it's own but how do it get it to work the way i want it.


So basically the joystick.love is where i'm trying to figure out how to make the joystick to work and the prototypeshoter.love is a game I'm working on and would like to have joystick capabilities.

The joystick indexing has been changed to start at 1 and not 0.
