Mapping Joystick Trigger Button

[Manoj S]

Hi,

How to map joystick trigger button using SIMCONNECT ? I'm receiving input from HAT button whenever it is operated, same way I'm trying to do with trigger button, but I'm not receiving any response.

Code: Select all

 // Reading input from HAT button
 
 	hr = SimConnect_MapClientEventToSimEvent(g_hSimConnect, EVENT_HAT);
        hr = SimConnect_AddClientEventToNotificationGroup(g_hSimConnect, GROUP_ID_COCKPIT, EVENT_HAT);
        hr = SimConnect_MapInputEventToClientEvent(g_hSimConnect, INPUT_HAT, "joystick:0:POV", EVENT_HAT);
        hr = SimConnect_SetInputGroupState(g_hSimConnect, INPUT_HAT, SIMCONNECT_STATE_ON);
        
// Reading input from Trigger button

	hr = SimConnect_MapClientEventToSimEvent(g_hSimConnect, EVENT_FIRE);
        hr = SimConnect_AddClientEventToNotificationGroup(g_hSimConnect, GROUP_ID_COCKPIT, EVENT_FIRE);
        hr = SimConnect_MapInputEventToClientEvent(g_hSimConnect, INPUT_FIRE, "joystick:0:button:1", EVENT_FIRE);
        hr = SimConnect_SetInputGroupState(g_hSimConnect, INPUT_FIRE, SIMCONNECT_STATE_ON);

Hi

I got the solution. I was using Thrust Master Joystick, I mapped the joystick trigger button in N-1 configuration, N is the value received as a response from USB game controller when we press the trigger button. So I used "0" for trigger button it is working.

hr = SimConnect_MapInputEventToClientEvent(g_hSimConnect, INPUT_FIRE, "joystick:0:button:0", EVENT_FIRE);
