How to make a 4-direction movement?

Hello guys and girls!

Is there a way to make a 4-direction movement (only up,down,left and right)? How can I do this? How can I adjust the speed of a sprite in a 4-direction movement?

Thanks in advance!

This is 8-direction (not 4-direction)...but I did it Thanks anyway

Oooooooo...I see your point! Thanks! But I don't know how to make it work with mouse: if I click somewhere above my character, the sprite should move up; if I click somewhere below my character, the sprite should move down etc.! Can you please help me?

If you use the 8-direction behaviour your "player" has the actions 8 direction simulate controll

So you should make events like:

mouse button is down

system compare two values mouse.x >player.x

player 8 direction simulate control right

You should add more conditions offcourse, because mouse.x can be greater than player.x when the mouse is above the player and you would probably want to simulate up instead..

OK! But my character doesn't move...it only moves when I press left/right/up/down arrow on keyboard! How can I make it move when I click a mouse button?

Set default controls to no in the 8 direction properties and add events like the one I showed above?

Oh the event above only works when holding down the mouse button..

If you want a click-event, you should add a variable and change it according to what you want..

Simulate pressing will seem to do almost nothing if it is only called one tick.

so on click

system compare two values mouse.x >player.x

player set boolean variable moving to yes

player is boolean variable moving

player 8 direction simulate pressing right

This is what you get if you do as LittleStain staid. It should work <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_smile.gif" alt=":)" title="Smile">

That's just what I need! Do you have a .capx file? If not, I will spend some time playing with this! Thanks guys!!!

You can use this. I've added a few extra conditions just to make sure you clicked above the box and the sides of it. You can change them to make it suit you.

Thanks! Now, I am having problem with while loop - I need a while loop because I want my "player" to move to the end of the screen when I make a click. I will finish this when I fix this problem.
