Joystick

I had a question about the abilities of our joysticks. Is there a way to program the buttons or triggers so that when you continuously hold the trigger the action is performed, and when the trigger is released the action stops?

It's going to look something like this (note: I use the underscores for indention purposes only, do not include them in your code):

'If port1 trigger is pressed then
If p1_sw_trig = 1 then
_____'Perform Action Here
endif

Or if you wanted it so when you pressed a joy button it would turn an action on, and when you pressed it again, it would do another action then:

'Declare this variable at top of code
action_on VAR byte

'If port1 trigger is pressed then
If p1_sw_trig = 1 then
_____'Switch from on to off
_____toggle action_on
endif

'If alternate action is specified then
If action_on = 1 then
____'Do action here
else
____'Do another action here
end if
