cool, I'll have to try this out later.

What needs to be modified to get it to work with directinput?

@ carl

did you forget to add the offset.value to the mouse coordinates? i can't see them in the script

a version with directinput would also be veeeeery nice

OK, I fixed the offset thing that I forgot.

I assume that for DirectInput you just want to use the IR to move the mouse in FPS games and such things. You could also use any of the x,y,z,pitch,yaw or roll values instead if you prefer.

For a DirectInput (relative) mouse script you need to look at the difference (delta) in the position values and then scale it by something and add it to the DirectInput value. You can either use the smoothed values you get at the end, or you can use the unsmoothed values and then come up with your own smoothing more appropriate to an FPS.

For example, instead of setting the cursor position, you could do this:

if var.IRvis and (not var.Freeze) then
mouse.DirectInputX = mouse.DirectInputX + Delta(var.IRx)*0.5
mouse.DirectInputY = mouse.DirectInputY + Delta(var.IRy)*0.5
end if

That would make it like a mouse on a small mouse pad that you can't pick up when it gets to the edges. It is probably not suitable for an FPS game though.

You could also make it keep moving the mouse when you are pointing off the edge of the screen. Or you could come up with a completely different system which uses a speed based on how far the IR cursor is from the centre of the screen.

I don't have many FPS games, and I haven't tried playing FPS games with the Wiimote yet. So I don't know what is the best way to control them.

for fps games, check my hybrid cursor movement engine http://www.wiili.org/index.php/RAHCMEFFPSG Smile

WOW, I just looked at that script, and man, that is cool. Its absolute movement in a small box in the middle right, with relative movement outside.

That is brilliant. Kudos!

I'm guessing we add our own favorite nunchuck controlls to this, right?
