Vector2 GetLeftStickPosition()
Although you can use <InputManager:AddBinding> to map to easily map to a joysticks directions, it’s useless if you want true 360 degree analog data.
This lets you poll a sticks position at any time yourself.
A Vector2 object containing this sticks’ current position as a unit vector. (Ie, -1, 0 would mean moving left 100%, 0,0 would mean not pushing in any direction)

Not all game controllers have a right stick, and even if they do, they tend to use different axis for them. See SetRightStickAxis.

nil SetRightStickAxis(number axisX, number axisY)
This lets you setup which axis are used for a specific stick on this controller. We don’t have a SetLeftStickAxis because that is always 0 (x) and 1 (y).
The engine will attempt to use detect the controller by name and setup this itself, check base/script/dialog.gui to see where I detect XBOX controllers and setup for them.
If you have an additional setting I should add, please email it to me. (Seth)
I plan on adding a nice Joystick setup utility in a base script for controllers that need to be remapped that any app can use/customize.
