Controller Detection

[brock.sampson]

I'm thinking about making a track and field style cocktail.  One side will have standard street fighter layout, the other will have a trackball.  I want to use mala's controller detection to flip the screen when using people use one side or the other.  I can get controller detection to work with buttons but I don't know how to configure it to work with a mouse.  Any help would be appreciated.

You can't as such.

You could add a 'extra' button on the trackball side that could be used to flip the screen?

You you create a very simple autohotkey script (resident) so that when the mouse axes are detected in the mala program, a specific key is sent. Ask here: http://www.autohotkey.com/forum/forum-1.html&sid=28c11465ab545764224006bdf8572b3e

OK, I'll save you time. Here's the script. It monitors the mouse every second. If it's moved, the F1 key is pressed. You can change that, of course. You can compile it with the tool provided with Autohotkey and run the exe before MaLa so that it stays resident.

#Persistent
#NoTrayIcon

SetTimer, monitorcursor, 1000

monitorcursor:
IfWinActive MaLa ahk_class TfrmMain
   if !chk_mousepos()
   send, {F1}
return    

chk_mousepos(input=false)
{
   static mousex, mousey
   if !mousex OR !mousey
      MouseGetPos, mousex, mousey
   MouseGetPos, mousex2, mousey2
   if (mousex = mousex2) AND (mousey = mousey2)
      return true
   else
   {
      mousex := mousex2
      mousey := mousey2
      return false
   }    
}
