This should be fairly simple but I am a complete baby in JS.
I am using this joystick template: https://github.com/jeromeetienne/virtualjoystick.js
and I based the site off the basic.html example.
When the joystick goes 'up left' it calls both /left and /forward, same for right .
Who do I make it so joystick.up() overrides left and right when combined?

forgive me for I am not that familiar with JS but it looks like you would just remove the addition of ‘left’ and ‘forward’ from that ‘setInterval’ function
That or you could write some JS that reads the values in, determines which movement is greater ( up vs left) etc and then decide what to update based on the greater value

thnx for ur input but it seems to be doing the same

That or you could write some JS that reads the values in, determines which movem...
i thought of that but i dont know how to do it

Kinda looks like you should be able to do this off of dx/dy too
Don’t use right left up down and just look at dx dy like the basic demo in examples

I’m that example they don’t tie a fetch into up/down/left/right then you could sum the dx dy like the example and figure out if it’s just moving left or right

i did take ur advice a little and seperate the fetch from the direction display
but i might try what u said rn

hope I helped - it’s like 6am here and I just got up. I’m sure someone else will chime in soon if you don’t get it

yea man thanks a ton i rlly appreciate it

also fetch() is async and your setInterval() can double things up
also why not extract like 4 local boolean variables... to make the code simpler

@boreal iris fetch is used to load data across a network and will be very slow, are you sure you do not just want to call a function?
I think you may be confused as to what the fetch api is
storm ermine
you should probably cache those 4 HTML pages inside a JSON object on page load
and then have your code innerHTML the CACHED version
also you are doing this every 300ms like seriously 😮
otherwise, you should have the fetch callback redo a debounce setTimeout()
instead of having setInterval() because otherwise, if the fetch() is slow you will have some sort of timeout infinite loop in the event loop
