Computer Mouse Configurations.

Is there any way to configure the Z-axis of a mouse so that it can progressively control the throttle just like an Xbox controller? There should be some way, because the binding/value for "Change Node Grabbing Strength" goes up and/or down when you manipulate the Z-axis in either direction. I tried to do this with C++, and it applied throttle, but there was no way for me to bring it down even a bit.

 

You would have to see the scroll wheel to throttle and brake, then set the dead zone to completely cover the brake area of it.

 

OH. I was thinking set the deadzone so that it no longer covers the "accelerate" area. That way I can control the brakes and throttle separately.

 

You could also set another binding like the first one, but inverted to make one for the brake.

 

Sorry for opening this old thread, but OP I wonder how did you even use the mouse scroll wheel in the first place... I tried setting it from the in-game controls section but it after detecting the zaxis it doesn't register it for reasons unknown... I also tried writing the control myself in the .diff file in My Documents and it successfully registered for the action, but has no effect in-game. However, I press CTRL and change the node grab power and it works perfectly fine which leaves me absolutely clueless.

Also can I know how you implemented it using C++? If that's the final resort of course.

Note: I'm trying to bind shift up and shift down to the scroll wheel, but really setting any other action to the zaxis has no effect whatsof***ingever

EDIT: I even added the two options in the gameengine's options file (mouse.json) and still doesn't have any effect...

 

So what did the OP exactly mean by the mouse's Z-Axis? And if the scroll wheels are two buttons as you say, then it should also make sense to be mapped to shiftUp and shiftDown

I called it zaxis because that's what it's called by the game engine
