How do I scroll a layout with inertia?

Hi guys,

is there a way to drag a layout with Mouse/Touch but also add inertia without adding a sprite with a ScrollTo behaviour?

I have no problem to drag the layout with the mouse/touch but can't find a way to add inertia if the Player scrolls his finger faster from dragging.

Thanks

Here's an example you can pick apart:

Thanks 99Instances2Go.

This is great guys for the help. This is exactly what I was trying to do.

I'm sure it will help a lot of more users.

I dont want to bother you but I was looking for more info on the expression like Touch.SpeedAt(0) // Touch.SpeedForID(0) in order to understand the formulas and learn what they are doing.

Do you have a link where I can read this? When I search Touch or Touch.Speed , I dont find a link where they talk about those expressions?

Thanks

Manual is the place to start from.

The difference between Touch.SpeedAt(n) and Touch.SpeedForID(m) is the index presented by n.

When you touch screen, you can do this with more then 1 finger. The system makes a list of all those touches. An index is a place in a(ny) list. An index always starts at zer0. So, the first item in a list is always zero.

The n in Touch.SpeedAt(n) stands for the nth finger in the touch, or the index of a finger in the list.

The m in Touch.SpeedForID(m) stands for rather a special number.

When using the conditions 'On any touch start' or 'On any touch end' the expression ......

Touch.TouchID assigns a number to 'gesture' of the fingers that are on that moment on screen.

So, say you touch the screen with 1 finger, and a moment later with a second finger .... then ...

On any touch start

___________action ... 'set m to Touch.TouchID' will hold a number, and that will be different on the second touch.

Now you can use m in Touch.SpeedForID(m)

Thank you 99Instances2Go for the explanation. This is great and well explained. Cheers!!!

Thank you both for your great examples! Very usefull

I would like to create an infinite scrolling game. Any tips on how I could do that and not be stuck by the window size?

Thanks in advance!

Very interesting !!

Could you do the same with 2 fingers for drag and zoom layer ? (One finger touch would be used to spawn an object on the scene)

Thanks !

Tap 4 spawn.

Pinch for zoom.

Although, that is probably not 100% what you want, cant look in the future, so the spawn happens on release.

Need to give the player at least a little time to get that second finger on the screen.

Thanks 99Instances2Go !

That's an interesting approach.

I was thinking about the following gestures, any idea on how to do that ?

• 2 fingers to drag/scroll layer (this is what Google map proposes now for mobiles gestures)
• 2 fingers pinch to zoom/de-zoom (this is what Google map proposes now for mobiles gestures)
• 1 finger tap for spawning.
• 1 finger hold on spawn object to drag it around the layout

99Instances2Go Still no idea about that ?

Can anyone confirm?
