Remapping keyboard to gamepad

[Jblz619]

Hello I was able to easily find out how to utilize Autoit to detect game pad joy sticks and buttons with this code. But why can i not find anything to simply send a gamepad button.

Is there any UDF or examples on a simple send gamepad button. I'm going to use it to remap keyboard inputs to gamepad. Not Gamepad to keyboard.

I'm surprised there is no UDF or simple send button functions to interact with gamepads. Please if anyone can Help i would be much appreciated.

That seems like it might be a work around but still, it would be great to not have to use a 3rd party software that you have to pay for.  Shouldn't Autoit have a udf that does this?

Yes, and I suggest you write it.

Is that what you are looking for ?

Dude that was a sample of what i found as a search return. Is it really so hard to use a search engine?

I apologize if I came across rude. I'm just looking for a udf or a point in the right direction. Ty for finding a work around I have REWASD that does this already.

That is really close I taught myself autoit years ago and only somewhat understand c++. There is Vjoy udf I recall from years ago. Maybe thats where I should start with.

 BTW What's up with the hostile responses?

I've used autoit for years and everyone is usually very helpfully. In at least pointing me in the right direction so I can write my own programs. Ty again if anyone knows of any udfs that allow you to send commands to a gamepad. That would be much appreciated. 

 

This is the closest thing i could find
