Setting up controller
Issue #377
resolved
When clicking on Roll. Wait for count down then I hit the control button I want. But then it skips down to roll clockwise. Should be option for just roll correct? If so wont let me do it.

Actually, I think I got this to work. But it was button 4 on my joystick Logitech Attack 3 controller. But if I remember it would skip down to the next command, not roll.

Hello there. Sorry for delay. I had some loading issues for new update, but I have it working now. However.... I just tried programing roll into my logitech attack 3 joystick using button 4 but it wouldn't accept it. It will work with roll clockwise and counter clock wise. But shouldn't it work with just roll as well? There seems to be space that I can load it in there, but it skips down to roll clockwise.

I don't know the details of your hardware, so I don't know what kind of element your Button 4 is. Is it a digital button (just pressed/non pressed), a trigger (different values for different amounts of pressure applied on it). There are 4 different Roll-related actions in XWVM to satisfy most player:
Roll: Meant to be bound to an axis that go from -1 to +1, so pushing the stick towards its negative side rolls left, pushing it towards the positive side rolls right.
Roll clockwise: Meant to be bound to axes that go from 0 to 1, or trigger buttons like those in the XBOX controller that register different values between 0 and 1 depending on how hard you press them. The more you press or push it, the more the ship will roll clockwise. Roll counterclockwise: Same as above, but opposite direction.
Roll toggle: Meant for digital buttons. While you hold it, the Yaw axis will not yaw, and instead it will roll.
Can you confirm that none of these behaviors is working properly for you?

Hello there, I still couldm't assign anything to Roll. However I did assign button 5 to clockwise and button 4 to counter clockwise. so I do have it working for now.

Rich, you can't assign a button to the Roll bind because it's meant to be an axis input, not a button.
I believe the command you're looking for is the classic "Roll/Target craft in reticle", which is supported by all of the previous incarnations of X-Wing. I'm not sure there is a bind for this in XWVM. I can't seem to find one.

It's called "Select Target Ahead" in the options:

What is the exact action name you are trying to bind and to which element in your controller (a button, a trigger, a stick)?
