object.accuracy

Overview

The +/− accuracy of the data provided by the axis input. This value will always be greater than or equal to 0. For example, if the accuracy is 0.01, an axis value of 0.5 is accurate between 0.49 and 0.51.

Gotchas

• This applies to the axis raw value, not the normalized value.

• An accuracy of 0 may indicate perfect accuracy, but it will more likely mean that the accuracy of the input device is unknown.

• You can use this property to eliminate “noise” generated by an axis input device by ignoring axis values that are not beyond the accuracy range of the last recorded axis value.

Example

-- Fetch all input devices currently connected to the system
local inputDevices = system.getInputDevices()

-- Traverse all input devices
for deviceIndex = 1,#inputDevices do
    -- Fetch the input device's axes
    local inputAxes = inputDevices[deviceIndex]:getAxes()

    -- Print all axis accuracy values
    for axisIndex = 1,#inputAxes do
        local inputAxis = inputAxes[axisIndex]
        print( inputAxis.descriptor .. ": Accuracy = " .. tostring(inputAxis.accuracy) )
    end
