Hi!
Was wondering if there is a way to compare the X or Y speed so when (example) the character is moving down, that the character is facing that way. I am working with touch controls and is having a rough time figuring it out. I know that there is an action where you compare the y co-ordinate but isn't one for speed. I use Rex's Plugin "MoveTo" behaviour for the touch input if that helps.
Have a look at the behaviours "Compare moving angle" ?

Will check it out when I get home but looks like what I need!
I should have said
Method 1 will turn ship 90 degrees (n,e,s,w)
method 2 will point ship in direction travelled
only use one of the methods
also I was using mouse so just replace mouse with touch.
I tweaked the first method so it works with the animations but they don't change while I am touching the screen. When I initate they change but if I change angle it stays in the same animation frame as before. I have four animation frames at the moment which is a 2d character facing north,east,south,west so it is not about rotating it but changing the frame at the desired direction he is moving (just to clarify).
yep, look at where I am setting angle and add the correct frame animation there
