How to convert GetPlayerInput FORWARD/SIDEMOVE into float?

[Nash]

I don't understand the number that's being returned from GetPlayerInput(-1, INPUT_FORWARDMOVE) (or SIDEMOVE)... all I want is to convert this value so that 1.0 (or -1.0) means that full movement is being applied. With the keyboard, this value should always be +/-1.0, while with an analog stick, any value up to a maximum of +/-1.0.

Meh, found the answer to my own question. Leaving this thread up for future reference.

My solution was wrong.

Actually, I haven't correctly figured it out. I'm still looking for a solution. I want to convert the player's input into a float value, where 1.0 is the maximum.

Just make a quick investigation about this. The number 12800 is obtained by GetPlayerInput directly. That's the base concept even the number is not correct. Ther are two different values for side move, 12800 from mouse strafing and 10240 from movement keys. The attachment can be run directly to see the result.

Thanks carlcyber! Makes me wonder why is it that strafing seems to be "slower" than forwardmove... :S

Strafing is slower. That how SR-50 works. (By using multiple strafe keys you are able to max out the axis, but it can also be achieve through a mouse or joystick axis without disabling turn.)

Ah, I see. Thanks for the clarification.
