How do I get my touch character movement working?

Hi Guys,

I am making an android version of my game Super Bounce Bounce.

http://gamejolt.com/games/puzzle/super- ... nce/63124/

I have a problem to get smooth touch controls, it will basically be split in half the screen on side to move right and one left, I cannot get the character to move smoothly like it does on the PC version and I cannot make the character go left using the left movement button with touch.

I have searched for a tutorial on touch character movement, I have the 8 directional movement but when clicked it does not do anything unless I add a speed of 300 etc but then it will jolt forward fast <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_sad.gif" alt=":(" title="Sad">

Thanks

Having played your 'Super Bounce Bounce', I assume that what you want is the player to move while the touch is 'down'. In that case I think the way to go is something like:

-Touch 'Is In Touch'

--Touch.X < (Window.Width / 2)

---Player Simulate Control 'Left'

--Touch.X => (Window.Width / 2)

---Player Simulate Control 'Right'

I hope that made sense but it should work I think.

**Edit** You might be able/want to change 'Is in Touch' with 'Touch on Hold'. You'll have to try both.

Thanks Eklo I will try this tomorrow.

Thank You for you help and I will let you know if it will work

Eklofakka Thanks for the help it worked

Happy to help.

Only problem is the bounce on the character now

What is wrong with the bouncing?

When you bounce on a corner it will push off and you cannot move atall.
