Buttons for directions

[Evilized79]

Ok I have got two buttons (active) a left and right arrow.

And I have a object with the platform movement.

I want the object to walk left when I press the left active object.
and right when I press the right button.

I don't want to use that premade joystick thing for it being hard to handle.

Can someone help me with some sort of code, I'm pretty noob at them.

You can change the look of the premade joystick buttons by replacing the assets in the "Resources" folder of your xCode project.

The only way you can create custom buttons and tell the active to move left and right from touch inputs is to use a manual set x and y position engine, or the platform movement object (instead of the standard clickteam platform movement).

Yeah I found the folder where you can replace the buttons.

Isn't there a way to make a line something like:

When mouse is over object1---> read joystick state (arrow left)

for example.

Not that I know of, you'd be better off using the Platform Movement Object instead of the built in one. You can send commands like "User is holding left" with it.

Thanks Rhysd!

I will look into that!

I never worked with this platform movement object.
I see you can put all sort of numbers in it like acceleration, gravity ect. but i can't seem to find a lace where to set the actual speed of the object.

When I give a command "user is holding left" it walks very slow.
How can I make it go as fast as the actual speed it was given.

Left and right speed is x velocity if i'm not mistaken. There should be a few tutorials on using the PMO in the examples/files forum if you do a search.

Also, a nice documentation and a good example (a simple game) are installed along with the object.
