JoyHat:Int32 port:Int32=0

Parameter	Mode	Type	Default	Description
port	In	Int32	0	The joystick to ask, counted from 0. Defaults to 0.

Returns: The angle of the hat, or -1 if it is centered or the joystick has no hat.

Description

The direction of the first hat switch (the point-of-view control) as an angle in degrees: 0 for up, 90 for right, 180 for down and 270 for left, with 45 degree steps in between. The result is -1 while the hat is in the middle.

Differences

• Without any joystick the original returns -1 as well, but this runtime returns 0, which looks like "up". Use JoyType first to find out if there is a joystick.
