Xbox POV not available in joystick api

[m3roadworx]

I have make a script for processing XBox controller messages through the joystick API and uploaded it to the JS stash, https://stash.reaper.fm/v/35156/xbox_one.txt. However, the POV reading, which is used to indicate one of four directions, is not accessible from the script file even though the POV value is correctly shown in the Edit Joystick Definition box.

Bringing this up again - I'm seeing the same thing.

Anybody want to fix this or give us an update? Thanks!!

Hmm that script does not try to call pov(), can you give me a script that does not work as expected? What value does it return? What does the numpov variable return?

[m3roadworx]

I have to eat my words. The POV does work. The value of numpov is 1 and the variable to access is pov(0), not povs as displayed in the configuration dialog.

It is impossible to use the POV because when you press a key, the values returned contain repeated and spurious values. With the attached script it doesn't matter which of the four directions you press, you will always get several values < 1 (the north direction). In the script, the hasrun conditional is removed but it makes no difference whether the conditional is used or not, and whether the variable updates are inside or outside it. Furthermore, the systime doesn't seem to work, so you cannot filter out spurious events by ignoring new events for, say, one second.
