Using two analog sticks for same output - help?
Posted: Sat Jul 12, 2014 10:20 am
Didn't come up with a better subject, so I'm sorry it doesn't say much. I would like to rebind my PS3 controller to use both the left stick and the right stick as if they both were the left stick. My problem is that I would also like the right stick to kind of override the left stick, so whenever I use the right stick the left stick is disabled. Then if I return the right stick to its standard position (the middle, i.e. it doesn't affect the axis anymore), the left stick becomes active again. To make things clearer I've made an image of what I mean:

Simply binding both to the same axis doesn't work very well as they will both interfere with eachother, giving a not so well result, so I would guess that "disabling" would be needed. I tried creating something simple in AutoHotKey with a few rebinds to the keyboard in DS3 Tools, but when testing it it turned out the AutoHotKey script didn't do anything while Gimx was running. Also, before rebinding in DS3 Tools I used JoyToKey to rebind some of the PS3 buttons to the keyboard, but that didn't work with Gimx either. It seems any second software used for rebinding and such (in my case AutoHotKey and JoyToKey) will not work together with Gimx, so my question is if my idea to make both sticks work as one axis as descibed above is possible.
It could be good to state that it would also be possible to rebind the left stick or the right stick or both of them to the D-pad as the left stick and the D-pad in my case do the same thing. As long there's no output from the left stick while the right stick is in use it doesn't matter.
Any help would be really appreciated!
