How do I base a touch off a keyboard click

Hi everyone,

Instead of recreating all the events for touch I want to create only a few events which make touching a left arrow simulate pressing the left arrow key. I want to do this for the right arrow too.

thanks

on tap | Simulate control "Pressing Left"

You can add either platformer behavior or 8 directional movement

did not work because i do not want a platformer or 8 direction

Why not put all the actions in a function and call the function depending on either keyboard or touch?

You might even be able to do it with a simple "or" block, dependng on how you have your events set up..

on left arrow touched

or

keyboard on left arrow key pressed

ok I will try but there must be an easier way

What could be easier than making an "or" block?

and how do i make or blocks if there are other conditions that cant be or in the one event

thanks

what would be easier is one evemt saying if this sprite is touched replicate the arrow key touched

what would be easier is one evemt saying if this sprite is touched replicate the arrow key touched

Well that would be the case if you used the function object, right?

on arrow key touched - call function

on sprite touched - call function

But I'm not sure why you'd want to replicate when all can be done in the same event with an "or"

Usually all other conditions which would prevent the "or" could be placed as sub-events, but yours might be a special case..

If you could share the event the way it is now, it would be much easier to explain..

There are multiple events I would have to add or to. One of them is this for example.

On right arow pressed

Sprite1 Animation frame = 26 sprite 1 set animation "Goop"

Sprite 1 is playing "LTR"

System shaker = 0

I want to add an or condition in with still having the three and conditions

thanks again

On right arrow pressed

or

touch on touched ArrowRight

(subevent)

Sprite1 Animation frame = 26

Sprite 1 is playing "LTR"

System shaker = 0

(action)

sprite 1 set animation "Goop"
