How do I Recognize mouse moving left or right ?

Hello guys!

I made a game and my character moves when the Touch Object " is in touch" and it follows the movement of the Touch with some minor delay.

But I want to somehow to recognize when it moves left/right so I can add a nice rotate to effect to my character. So : is there any way to recognize the movement while the Touch object is in touch ?

Thank You!

If you use platform behaviour or 8direction then you can simply compare the X velocity of the character. If it is negative it moves left and positive is right.

Or you can check if the touch.X is less or greater than character.x and if touch.x is less than character.x then it moves left and vice versa.

Thank you Anonnymitet

I will go with the second ideea because I dont use any movement Behavior except MoveTo for my character.
