Mouse to Joystick Conversion

[Ron Cortex]

Hi everyone,

Okay, I've been sifting through the forums and API Docs, and I have yet to find a way to create a joystick event using Gizmo Daemon.  …so, before spending hours of more time on trying to figure it out, is there actually a way to create a joystick (button or axis) event with Gizmo Daemon?

Specifically, I am trying to write a script that will allow me to use my mouse as a joystick (for a particular game I have a knack for ^_^").  I do see the Joystick button codes (GizmoKey.BTN_TRIGGER, etc.) but I don't see anything for joystick axes.  Is it just me, or simulating joystick events is not fully implemented in Gizmo Daemon?

Anywhos, any help would be appreciated.  Oh, and here is the code I have so far, in case your interested…

Sorry, guys.  My code had a crud-load of errors in it, primarily removing "Default Fancy Keyboard Event Mapping" comment, which actually prevented it from executing for some reason, amid some other embarrassing mixups.  Here's the updated code:
