Title: Remote-control Input And Disk Freespace
Post by: Kthulu on November 08, 2003, 06:19:00 PM

 Thanks BenJ!!!

i've seen this  

CODE

If %_GP_A% == "1" GOTO APRESSED

and would like to know how to get input from the remote.  also, is it possible to distiguish between gamepad1, gamepad2, etc. if more than one is plugged in?

i've also seen

CODE

SETFUNC DVDSIZE FILESIZE D:DEFAULT.xbe

and would also like to know if this will work to get a directory size as well.  also, is there a function that returns disk freespace?

thanks again!

forum organization suggestion:
create pinned topics for the various aspects of scripting/programming.  examples...
::Variables and Data structures
::Looping and Control structures
::Functions (starting with a table of the available functions)

maybe that's too much, but at least the table of functions.

$DriveFFree$
Not sure what the formatting is in this, you might have to remove commas

You can replace "DriveFFree" with any variable used in skinning. (look in the skinningOverview.doc in the "Text" section)

thanks geniusalz, but if there is a SETFUNC function, i'd rather use that as $DriveFFree$ returns a string "F: 29,000,000,000 bytes free".  I want to compare the size of D: with the freespace on F:  i really don't want to get into alot of string processing, but if i must, i must...

Input from the remote, for ActionScripting, is not supported.... YET.

Perhaps on the next release.

 and we're talking about that Remote support...

i just noticed that the passcode screen accepts up/down input from the remote, but doesn't accept <select> as <A> or <back> as <B>...maybe you would knock that out at the same time?

And since you are still here, check the pinned ActionScript Reference topic

Just an updated version of the one you linked.

Put it together right now.

I'll look into that, as well, but the input for the ActionScripting is handled in a different spot than the passcode main screen input handling.
