Hello! Virtual Joystick Construction?

Im trying to make a character move along an angle related to where the touch is pressed on-screen. So far I have the character(Duck) set moveTo angle to the relationship between touch and a point on the screen(movementButton).

Im sure this is the right route to take however the character(Duck) does not begin moving on touch and I cannot find a begin movement function.

any Help much appreciated!

Cheers,

Chris

Search the forum and tutorials, there are lots of examples. I have several demo projects here:

Hello dop2000! I went to the link you entered and downloaded the c3p file of "Two Virtual Thumbsticks - C2 and C3 versions". Everything is great but I have noticed that if I press a joystick and stay still in one place (so I constantly set the player's angle to a given angle) the other joystick has a lag. How is this resolved?

Anyway thanks for the tutorial

Hi,

I'm not sure what you mean. I tested it just now and didn't notice any lag.

Hi

As I aim in one direction and move randomly, the left joystick lags. I made a video about it: youtu.be/_paCxk6IF-8

I definitely don't have this issue on my laptop. Can you try running on a different device (phone, tablet)?

Yes, lag occurs only from tablet or phone because I use the two joysticks simultaneously

Sorry, I can't help. There is nothing in the code that can cause these lags.

Ok alright, thanks anyway!

you could share your file for us to look at. if may be something you changed that is causing the issue. or try running in debug mode to see if anything unusual is going on.
