[SOLVED]How the heck do I do this...?/Control sytem.

Hello World,

So as usual with me, I took something simple and managed to turn it into something super complicated(imo). This time instead of writing 10 pages of text trying to explain what I wanna do(and probably still failing to be 100%clear) I thought I'd just make a video to show/tell you guys what I need help with.

So download the video please from the link below, watch it, and then if you have anymore questions I'd be happy to answer them.

Thank you.

Ok so wouldn't changing the "touch is touching" to "touch is touching object arc" do what you want?

There are obviously many other ways to do it..

Using either the clamp()-expression or "is between angles" condition, maybe in combination with the distance() expression..

I've never heard of the clamp expression before LittleStain , sounds interesting, could you make a little example capx with that one so I can see how it is used?

The main problem isn't so much changing the touch event for the rotation. But how do I olso make it so that that little "light" appears under/follows your finger, but only within the confines of the arc?

could be as simple as:

touch is touching arc - light set position to to touch.x,touch.y

on any touch end - light set invisible

A lot of it depends on what you want..

I had this example in my dropbox using the clamp:

Clamp mouse cusor

Ok, thank you. I'll play around with those suggestions later in the day(waiting on a pizza right now:D) and if I run into any problems I'll pm you, ok?

I had this example in my dropbox using the clamp:

Clamp mouse cusor

So, I ran the example, I looked at the code, and I still don't get it.... What exactly is clamp suppose to do? Sorry for being dumb.

clamp(x, lower, upper)

Return lower if x is less than lower, upper if x is greater than upper, else return x.

clamp(5,2,10)=5

clamp(1,2,10)=2

clamp(12,2,10)=10

If you want x is between 10 and 15, you'll use clamp(x,10,15)

If you look at the numbers in the middle of the screen, you'll see the actual mouse.x and mouse.y coordinates and the clamped mouse.x and mouse.y coordinates..

Clamp prevents a value to go above and below specified values..

This example was made to always keep the "cursor" within the play-area..

Ahhhh, if I try to go outside the layout, now I get it. Ok, thank you.

Yeah MadSpy, I checked the manual and read that part the second LittleStain mentioned clamp, and I concluded that that phrase is the most ambiguous/nonexplicative piece of ****** there ever was..... I don't know, I guess my brain just isn't wired that way....

Hehe, I did it guys, yessss!!!:D I still have to create(or find) a decent light sprite, the one I have at the moment is just a stand in, but other then that I have achieved pretty much exactly what I wanted. I didn't even have to use clamp, the blend mode-source atop and adding another layer with force own texture was enough.

You can check how it turned here.

So thank you very much once again LittleStain , MadSpy .
