Used alone, it simply halts and waits for a button press. It can also be used to assign the pressed button's code value to a variable. See example.
- In MOST CASES, you are not going to want to use this command because chances are likely you are going to want things on the screen still happening while awaiting the button press. In that situation, you'll use a <a href='WHILE.htm'>WHILE</a> ... <a href='WEND.htm'>WEND</a> awaiting a <a href='JoyHit.htm'>JoyHit</a> value - refreshing your screen each loop.
- As with any joystick command, you MUST have a DirectX compatible joystick plugged in and properly configured within Windows for it to work. See your joystick documentation for more information.</td></tr></table><p class='header'>Example: <br><br><table width='100%' border='0' cellspacing='2' cellpadding='2' align='center'><tr><td>; JoyWait() example<br>
