Ninja controller modification possible? | Forums

[rlmergeuser]

Just curious here... back in the day we were talking about modifying the controller to be able to control the front and rear brakes separately for crazier amounts of control. Is it even possible to separately actuate the front and rear brakes on the bike? Or maybe do something like assign RB to decrease the rotational speed of the front wheel alone?

Hi, yes it should be possible, you'll have to do a weighted calculation on the front/rear break power under the bike->engine setup, just point the values to a data source linked to your controller interpreter.

Not in the SP game, no. All braking is done through one trigger (left) and there is no way to split that input into two separate controls without it, basically, becoming two brake buttons that do the exact same thing.

You can accomplish something like this in the editor though.

Yeah, I was almost thinking that if it became a real usable feature in ninja techniques, it could possibly be a shared controller configuration that could be installed into any user-created level.

Frankly, I'm afraid of the editor in Evo, so don't expect me to come up with this one.

I am taking you up on this challenge.

shifty if you pull this off you should mak a new thread and sticky it. perhaps with an explanation of the logic you used

i'll explain my method a little more.

to match the gas output (0..7) to the break (0..3) do this: out=floor(gas/2)

ok, so right trigger (Rt) is rear break and left trigger(Lt) is front,

under the bike->engine set the front break power to Lt(0..3)*33 and rear power to Rt*33

now when Rt or Lt is greater than 0 set the break event to its max value and let the weighted breaking power set the true output.

see easy
