Touch

Was going through the tutorial for Pong and wanted to implement swipe feature on the paddle, any ideas on how to do it? Previous example and tutorials aren't really getting me to where I want.

Touch worked for me when I made a controller on screen just don't know what I'm doing wrong.

You mean where you touch the screen and slide your finger back and forth to move the paddle?

Yes I would like to swipe the paddle to move up and swipe it to move down. Nothing crazy as Kyatric made the pong tutorial and I'm going through that except adding it to mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 :)

Oh ok, so you don't want the paddle locked into the x or y coordinate of the the touch, you just want it to move up or down when you swipe.

Have you looked into the On Any Touch Start and on Any Touch End events? You could calculate the start and stop of the swipe and determine which way the user swiped.

Make sense?

Yes got any ideas how to set that up?

Sure, if you calculating a swipe up and down (y axis) setup 2 global variables. StartTouch and EndTouch

On Touch Start set StartTouch to touch.y

On Touch End set EndTouch to touch.y

If StartTouch > EndTouch then

The user swiped up

Else

The User Swiped down

Let me know if that makes sense.

Well I'm not much of a programmer but any help I can get I'll give it a try, will let you know thank you.

I can make up a sample capx later tonight if you can't get it.

Try This. Slide (Click mouse drag up) to move the paddle up, opposite for down.

Slide Paddle

Is .slide a native command on Construct 2?

Aslo your tutorials are great gotta make more especially a fighting game like streets of rage and things of that sort. :)

I'll work on that. Staring with the basics, and will move on to the more advance stuff as we go :).

Did that example capx do what you were wanting?

Haven't tried it was watching the tutorials lol

Seems to screw up the AI.
