Ok, a raw input from the 'slider' on a joystick, after deviding the number down, its range is from 5 - 32 and centered at around 15, so...thats ok, but i want it so when slider is one way it turns a object around 1 way and the other way will turn the object the other? BUT how can i do this..its FINE for one way (values go up) and as i wasnt it, the object turns and the more you go that way the more it turns! no...for the oter way..its fine..but the more you turn the LESS it turns as your LOWERING the value? How can i overcome this problem?
Thanks
Andy

First, subtract 19. This will give you a value from -14 to + 14.

You can detect one direction from the other by checking <> 0.

You can detect how much turn to apply by using ABS(value).

ABS turns all values into positive, so will always get a value of 0 to 14.

Hope that makes sense.
