How can I make a camera pan using touch controls?

Hello,

I am trying to make a camera pan system using the touch controls, that can pan only inside a rectangle sprite.

If possible, I would like it to function the same if I use the mouse, too.

Do any of you has an example file?

Here is an example of what you are talking about that was posted in the tutorial section.

Thanks for the example.

I've just implement it in my game, that is made in Construct 3, but it doesn't work.

When the layout starts and I try to pan the camera goes to 0 X/Y layout position and stays there.

I've made an new project and start it from 0 after the one from C2 and it doesn't work.

Well the basic idea is when a touch begins you mark the coordinates on a variable(StartTouchX,StartTouchY) and the starting screen position(ScrollStartX,ScrollStartY) on another variable, then you take the current coordinates that the touch is at and the difference between the two are used in a system scrollto action to place the camera at a different position.

If you already have a scrollto behavior on an object or anything else conflicting with this camera position they will be battling each other.

Also if you want when the screen is touched you can position a sprite to the touch with a scrollto behavior and just turn scrollto behavior on when the touch is active and off when the touch is released.

Ok, I'll try.

Cheers!
