Simultaneous Button presses with Joystick plugin?

Post by liquid8 »

Is there any way to detect simultaneous button presses? I want to be able to hold more than one button at the same time, and after a delay, emulate a keystroke. I tried adding the event manually, like Joystick.Button1+Button2, but doesn't seem to work.

If the Joystick plugin is incapable, is there a way to mimic the functionality? I have tried something like the following:

Code: Select all

Macro1
  Event -> Joystick.Button1
  Action-> If pressed longer than 3 seconds, jump to Macro2
Macro2
  Event -> Joystick.Button2
  Action -> If pressed longer than 3 seconds, jump to Macro3
Macro3
  Action -> Emulate Keystroke
The odd thing with this setup is, if I hold Button1 for 6 seconds, it still goes to Macro3.. I figured it wouldn't because Button2 is the event for Macro2.

I am using EG 0.3.5c.908, WinXP SP3.. thanks!
