You can use the dbJoystick*() functions to obtain the current joystick state. Then you can use the returned values as an input to the common functions for rotating your camera as you do with mouse or keyboard. Unforunately I don't have joystick here so can not give you exact functional code. But you can let me know what you get from those functions, the rest will be easy in GDK.

As John mentioned - you will find a description for most GDK functions in the accompanied documentation file. Open ther the "Input" section and you will find these commands:

dbJoystickUp : int dbJoystickUp ( void )
dbJoystickDown : int dbJoystickDown ( void )
dbJoystickLeft : int dbJoystickLeft ( void )
dbJoystickRight : int dbJoystickRight ( void )
dbJoystickX : int dbJoystickX ( void )
dbJoystickY : int dbJoystickY ( void )
dbJoystickZ : int dbJoystickZ ( void )
dbJoystickFireA : int dbJoystickFireA ( void )
dbJoystickFireB : int dbJoystickFireB ( void )
dbJoystickFireC : int dbJoystickFireC ( void )
dbJoystickFireD : int dbJoystickFireD ( void )
dbJoystickFireX : int dbJoystickFireX ( int iButton )
dbJoystickSliderA : int dbJoystickSliderA ( void )
dbJoystickSliderB : int dbJoystickSliderB ( void )
dbJoystickSliderC : int dbJoystickSliderC ( void )
dbJoystickSliderD : int dbJoystickSliderD ( void )
dbJoystickTwistX : int dbJoystickTwistX ( void )
dbJoystickTwistY : int dbJoystickTwistY ( void )
dbJoystickTwistZ : int dbJoystickTwistZ ( void )
dbJoystickHatAngle : int dbJoystickHatAngle ( int iHat )


EDIT: ha, you already have it, ok, i'm slow

okay to be more specific i have NO idea what i am doing with the joystick okay i am having trouble figuring out almost everything how do i get the int numbers and dbMoveCamera ( 1 ) but it says i don't have enough arguments here is corrected code.
here is errors c:\documents and settings\proggramer\my documents\visual studio 2008\projects\joystick\joystick\main.cpp(20) : error C2660: 'dbJoystickUp' : function does not take 1 arguments
c:\documents and settings\proggramer\my documents\visual studio 2008\projects\joystick\joystick\main.cpp(22) : error C2660: 'dbJoystickDown' : function does not take 1 arguments
only warnings left what do i do now?
okay warnings are gone now i need to get rid of these so i need to get more than 1 agrument but how?

dbJoystickUp() returns 1 if the joystick is pressing up. 0 if it is not. (Reread the documentation)

dbJoystickUp() function has zero arguments:



and it returns int. So you use it this way:




EDIT: Use John's code, it's more reasonable, you can then set a custom step.

Do you actually use more cameras? If not, you should use this code:

if (dbJoystickLeft () ) dbTurnCameraLeft ( 2 );
if (dbJoystickRight () ) dbTurnCameraRight ( 2 );

And you can play with the angle size of course, maybe 2 degrees won't be that fast.
