Analog stix

I successfully incorporated the arcade joystick on page three of this tutorial

scirra.com/tutorials/398/touch-stick-controllers/page-1

and it works really well, but I want to know how can I use it in events?

Like how do I make it that if the analog stick is quickly tapped, something occurs, or if it is moved in different ways where different actions occur?

To be more specific I'm trying to get a walking, fast walking, and running thing going on with this as it depends on how the analog stick is moved.

bump...please I would like some help. Or if someone could message the author of that tutorial my question, jayderyu, that would be great. For some reason I can't private message anyone.

Here you go!

I think it's what you are looking for. If not, just let me know with —

I don't think that's quite it.

Here is the analog stick, I'm not wanting to use any real gamepads.

Assuming player has some kind platform or 8 directional movement.

Compare the stick XP(X Percentage) and YP(Y Percentage)

Compare Value stick.XP > 30

-- player.simulate(moveright)

-- player.setSpeed = absolute(stick.xp * 5)

Compare Value stick.XP < -30

-- player.simualte(moveleft)

-- player.setSpeed = absolute(stick.xp * 5)

... so on etc.

Thanks. Could you explain what player.setSpeed = absolute(stick.xp * 5) does?

Also is there a way to recognize if the player quickly tapped the analog all the way?
