Away detection with controller

[eAi]

Just played on the server a bit earlier and noticed that the away detection doesn't work properly if you use a controller (e.g. xbox 360 controller). It pops up the message asking you to press a movement key every minute or so even though I'm moving. Pressing a keyboard key fixes that, but that's hardly ideal...

There was a thread about it recently. I heard horning every time you see the warning 'resolves' it.

However, we'll look into other ways of supporting controllers with the AFK detector.

If you program the acelerater into one of the controller uper buttons and just tap it every once and a while. it's the small joysticks the game doesn't reconize

How about using getControlState on the server? That should work with whatever input method is used.

[BinSlayer]

it already uses getControlState

so the problem is within getControlState

You may find getAnalogControlState works better, but yes, this seems to be a bug.

I've committed a possible fix for this bug:

That's pretty awesome, but we've already switched to detecting vehicle velocity instead of key pressing which seems so far to be working great
