How do I Swipe

Hi,

I'm searching for a lot of time how to control a character with a swipe touch.

Not only in 8 direction, but exactly as I swipe, or split the screen into two sides, horizontal and vertical.

Is there a tutorial for this, I prefer video.

Thanks,

Idan

If it's sufficient for you to move your character as soon as the swipe ends (the user lifts his finger), you use this solution:

• add the "Touch" object (obviously)

• add two global variables "InitialX", "InitialY","CurrentX", "CurrentY" and "TouchAngle", all numbers

• add an event "On touch start" with the following actions in it:

--> Set InitialX to Touch.AbsoluteX (or .X, if that suits your project better)

--> Set InitialY to Touch.AbsoluteY (or .Y)

• add a condition "Is touching" with the following actions in it:

--> Set CurrentX to Touch.AbsoluteX (or .X)

--> Set CurrentY to Touch.AbsoluteY (or .Y)

• add an event "On touch end" with the following actions in it:

--> Set TouchAngle to "angle(InitialX,InitialY,CurrentX,CurrentY)"

Now the swipe direction is stored in the TouchAngle variable.
