How do I get this virtual joystick to work?

So I have been trying to find a working virtual joystick and I copied one over from another project but it doesn't work at all, you can't move the joystick. (At least in my testing)

Help would be appreciated!

I don't understand what's going on in that template.

Here is a much simpler version:

So uh I changed the code but it still doesn't move. The joystick moves but the player doesn't.

You have a much smaller window size and TStick sprite is also smaller, so you need to decrease the deadzone value in event 31, set something like "TStick.d>5"

Also, you don't need to set angle, remove event 37.

Hey, it is kind of working now, but moving to the right a lot bugs out the joystick.

Oh, right, that's because your layout size is bigger than the screen. Here is the fixed file
