Wireless Joystick Problem

| Hello, Well, first of all, I'm French and my english is not very good so excuse me for language errors... I'm trying to create my first game with Blitzmax and I've a problem with the joystick management. I'm using a XBOX 360 wireless joystick (Microsoft). This joystick needs to be switch on to be seen by the PC before starting my game. I can then use it in my game without problem; BUT if I don't use it for a while (maybe 1 minute) the joystick automatically switches off (to economise the battery) and at that time my program crashes on the instruction FlushJoy() I've tried to replace this line with: If Joycount() then FlushJoy() but the problem is the same (with a crash on Joycount()) I didn't see any solution in the forums. Does anyone can help me ? Thanks in advance |

| Hmm... yesterday (for me it is 7:30 am) there was a response to your post -- do not know where that is stored now ... the one asked, whether it happens too when running a sample think he thought of: blitzmax/mod/pub.mod/freejoy.mod/doc/joycount.bmx "Joycount()" is directly accessing a function in freejoy.win32/linux.c so there may the fault be created. FlushJoy is using "for i=0 to JoyCount()" - so "if JoyCount() then FlushJoy" is really useless and will crash too when reaching the JoyCount()-part. Does it crash on the line "print JoyCount()" or only on "If JoyCount() then FlushJoy()"? Just to get the function call which is not working properly. bye Ron edit: Ok, you double posted and I am traversing down the forum for new posts... so hmpf |
