changing the gain of a joystick during a program

[Saz]

I tried using this code

def UpdateJoystick1():
    #Get the joystick position
    x,y,z = joy.getPosition()
    
    #Move the viewpoint forward/backward based on y-axis value
    if abs(y) > 0.0001: #Make sure value is above a certain threshold
        viz.MainView.move(0,0,-y*MOVE_SPEED,viz.BODY_ORI)
    #Move the viewpoint left/right based on x-axis value
    if abs(x) > 0.001: #Make sure value is above a certain threshold
        viz.MainView.move(x*0.1,0,0,viz.BODY_ORI)
    #Turn the viewpoint left/right based on twist value
    #if abs(twist) > 0.001: #Make sure value is above a certain threshold
    #    viz.MainView.rotate(0,1,0,twist,viz.BODY_ORI,viz.RELATIVE_WORLD)


#UpdateJoystick every frame
vizact.ontimer(0,UpdateJoystick1)

def MOVE_SPEEDCH():
	MOVE_SPEED=0
vizact.ontimer(22,MOVE_SPEEDCH)

but it still made no difference - I'm sorry I must be coming across as really dense - it's been a long week and it's only Wednesday!
