UI panel navigation non-functional
fefrei opened this issue · 4 comments
I'm trying to get started with this script, but having trouble with some controls not working. The most noticeable one is that I'm unable to navigate the UI panels.
It looks like ED picked up the binding just fine:
This binding also seems to be working from within the configuration menu. I can re-bind these just fine, and I get proper warnings if I try to double-bind one of these commands. But in-game, using the mini-joystick simply does nothing.
Pressing W on the keyboard does something, but instead of navigating the panel, it throttles up.
Since the buttons arrive fine in ED, I'm out of ideas for what could cause this. It looks like the script is presenting this on the virtual device just fine, and as far as I understand, for these buttons, nothing fancy should be going on in the script. Do you have any idea why the buttons fail to work in-game?
Note that user [MK] MΘN∆ЯK reported something similar on the Steam page.
I may be able to help.
Have you selected the panel first, before trying to use the panel navigation switches?
Wait a second, I think I know what's going on. Should these buttons select a panel (and turn the camera), or should they allow navigation within a panel? I thought it's the former, but that's probably wrong. What's the intended way to focus another panel (when not using head tracking)?

The latter. To select a different panel you use modifier 2 (the joystick thumb hat pressed down) and move the throttle thumb mini joystick in the direction you want to look.
That makes sense – and, of course, now that I know where to look, I found that on the reference map, too. Thanks for the help!
