i have something like this to set up the joystick detction
+ Code Snippet for i = 1 to 8
if GetRawJoystickExists(i)
tmpplayer.joyID=i
player.insert(tmpPlayer)
endif
//sync()
next i
Then i have this
+ Code Snippet if GetRawKeyState(KEY_UP) or GetRawJoystickY( player[0].joyID) <0 //or buttonHit=UpSpr
if lastMoveY=0 or lastmoveY=2
player[0].SpeedY#=minSpeed#
endif
lastMoveY=1:SetSpriteColor(UpSpr,100,100,100,255):SetSpriteColor(DownSpr,0,100,0,255)
player[0].SpeedY#=player[0].SpeedY#+((maxSpeed#-player[0].SpeedY#)*AccelerationFactor#)
if Speed#>maxSpeed# then Speed#=maxSpeed#
elseif GetRawKeyState(KEY_DOWN) or GetRawJoystickY( player[0].joyID) >0 //or buttonHit=DownSpr
if lastMoveY=0 or lastMoveY=1
player[0].SpeedY#=minSpeed#
endif
lastMoveY=2:SetSpriteColor(DownSpr,100,100,100,255):SetSpriteColor(UpSpr,0,100,0,255)

else

endif

The the arrow keys work perfectly for movement
but up and down joystick works if i use left right arrow keys things are fine
left right works if i use up down arrow keys
but i cant get the joystick to work diagonally even tho the spites i have on screen to display movement appear to work correctly sometimes
just cant get to move left or right with the joystick up / down
im sure theres something wrong in the code just why does the keyboard work perfectly is there a refresh state or something i should do
Thanks in advace
PS:I have placeholders in place for multiplayer but cant add that until i get the joystick to read properly
