GlovePIE script for Wii Remote Plus (MotionPlus)

[TsaebehT]

I've been working on a script for Snapshot using a Wii remote and thought I'd share it, I think it works pretty good.

You hold the remote horizontally for the platforming and point it forward to take and use snapshots.

Dpad = Movement/Menus
Button 1 = Crouch/Start Levels
Button 2 = Jump/Space
Plus = Enter
Minus = Escape
B = Hold to aim, Release to take snapshot
A = Hold to aim, Release to use snapshot and either hold again to rotate snapshot and release to use or just tap to use

Just make sure the Wii remote is laying on a flat surface when you start the script as it calibrates it when it starts.

Script:

//Snapshot by TsaebehT
//Movement
A = Wiimote.Up
D = Wiimote.Down
Up = Wiimote.Right
Down = Wiimote.Left
//Crouch
S = Wiimote.1
//Jump
Space = Wiimote.2
//Enter
Enter = Wiimote.Plus
//Escape
Escape = Wiimote.Minus

//Enable Mouse
if WiiMote.A | Wiimote.B then
var.sensitivityGyro = [.3, .3] //Change To Higher or Lower Values to Increase or Decrease Sensitivity
var.deadzoneGyro = [0, 0]
var.Gyro = [0, 0]
   if (Abs(WiiMote.MotionPlus.YawSpeed + var.calibrationGyro[1]) > var.deadzoneGyro[1]) then var.Gyro[1] = RemoveUnits(WiiMote.MotionPlus.YawSpeed + var.calibrationGyro[1]) - (Sign(WiiMote.MotionPlus.YawSpeed) * var.deadzoneGyro[1])
   if (Abs(WiiMote.MotionPlus.PitchSpeed + var.calibrationGyro[2]) > var.deadzoneGyro[2]) then var.Gyro[2] = RemoveUnits(WiiMote.MotionPlus.PitchSpeed + var.calibrationGyro[2]) - (Sign(WiiMote.MotionPlus.PitchSpeed) * var.deadzoneGyro[2])
   Mouse.DirectInputX = Mouse.DirectInputX + (var.Gyro[1] * var.sensitivityGyro[1])
   Mouse.DirectInputY = Mouse.DirectInputY + (-1 * var.Gyro[2] * var.sensitivityGyro[2])
Mouse.LeftButton = False
end if

//Copy
If Released(Wiimote.B) then
Mouse.LeftButton = True
Mouse.LeftButton = False
Mouse.RightButton = False
end if

//Paste
If Released(Wiimote.A) then
Mouse.RightButton = True
Mouse.RightButton = False
end if

All I wanted to say is, thank you

I've been trying so hard to use gyro with steam input, but no matter what I move in the settings it's always just slightly buggy enough to be annoying...

That's when I was like, hey, wait a minute, the Wii remote has gyro!
Surely someone has alredy thought of using it as a mouse?

Lo and behold, Glovepie! It has a built in gyro profile but it flickers for some reason, I'm not savvy enough to try and fix it, I looked for an alternative for a while, I even found a standalone program that did work fine but didn't work in games because of issues with the mouse hiding thing most games use...

And after searching everywhere, I finally found your script! It's perfect! It's glorious!!!
Using a Wii remote to aim feels so natural!!! So much so that I've started using it for games like TF2 (in other words, games that require precision as opposed to just looking around) and words cannot describe how great it is, it's just so intuitive to aim around with a long shaped controller like the Wiimote!

It's so great finally finding a great use for the Wii motion plus, I always felt like Nintendo underutilized it, and now I can give it a second life! It's like when you hack a console to run home brew on it!
