Can't get trigger to work with complex cycle commands
Well, I finally got my Panther XL USB ver 3 working. The latest software update didn't do it; Instead I just disabled ( using the device manager ) the AKI3 ID01 Joystick #2 device that Rob said was causing the problems. XD Still, there are issues, such as the profile ceasing to function outside of PGP necessitating repeatedly stoping and starting the profile before it starts working again -- This gets a little irritating as time goes by. Other than that, I haven't noticed any other issues.
Moving on, I have a (semi)complex set of mutually interacting cycle commands for Crysis 2 -- one for the "Fire" and one for "Armor Mode."
They work as follows, which I will summarize with screen captures :
The problem I'm having is that pressing the trigger does nothing.
The effect the above is supposed to have is to start firing when the trigger is pressed, toggle armor mode, and zoom. Then upon release, armor mode remains enabled, zoom is disabled ( because it isn't pressed anymore ) and firing stops ( for the same reason that zoom is disabled ). Also, the cycle pointer is set to Fire (Alternate #1) and Armor Mode Off.
Then, when the trigger is pressed again, Fire (Alternate #1) is executed which leaves armor mode alone ( such as not to toggle it ), and just zooms and fires and then sets the cycle pointer to loop back on itself.
When Armor Mode is toggled after a weapon has been fired then since it's in the state Armor Mode Off, it toggles armor mode, thereby turning it off but it sets the cycle pointer for the firing sequence back to Fire ( Primary ) such that when the weapon is fired Armor mode is turned back on.
Also, if Armor Mode is toggled active from just pressing the Armor Mode button then the state goes to Armor Mode On and the cycle pointer for the firing cycle is set to Fire (Alternate #1) so that armor mode stays on if a weapon is fired / the trigger pulled.
I've tested this with a Logitech Extreme 3D pro Joystick and the trigger doesn't work with that controller either with the above configuration so I know it's not a hardware problem.
