Using the Razer Hydra Controller Input Events

The new Torque 3D Razer Hydra input device provides a number of input events that may be used with Torque 3D's action map system. There are a number of different ways to use the Razer Hydra input device, which are set up using global TorqueScript variables.

Action Map Device Type

When binding a TorqueScript function to a Razer Hydra input event using Torque 3D's action map system, the device name to use is razerhydra. As only one Razer Hydra may be used on a computer at a time, there is no need to append a device instance number to the end of the device name. The following is an example of setting up a proper action map binding:

moveMap.bind(razerhydra, rh_trigger1, gamepadFire);
