WorldViz User Forum - vizjoy.py Twist method

Going over some old code and I had a question.

Years ago, I modified vizjoy.py for the twist method.
The original method is:

Code:

def getTwist(self):

        """Returns the twist of the joystick"""

        return self.getRotation()[2]

My new method hardly changed anything:

Code:

def getTwist(self):

        """Returns the twist of the joystick"""

        return self.getRotation()

Why do you only return the second element of the joystick? For other hardware such as the XBoxController with 2 sticks, I can't directly query the state without this information or utilize the overwritten callback to twist that is in your documentation.

That is, I wouldn't be able to do the following with only one element being passed from getTwist

Code:

def twist(self, val):

        self.xRAccel = 0.0

        self.yRAccel = 0.0

                

        if (abs(val.twist[0]) >= self.deadZone):

                self.xRAccel = val.twist[0]



        if (abs(val.twist[1]) >= self.deadZone):

                self.yRAccel = val.twist[1]

Is there something I am missing? Is there another method someplace to get this information about the second analog stick?
