I just downloaded it to take a look at it

Hey all,

I've been looking at videos on YouTube to see how some people use variables, but I'm having trouble getting the gist of how to make certain actions happen using variables. What's a good tutorial or video to help me learn variables?

Ok won't be until later today I'm at work. I'm operating on Eastern Standard Time...time here is 1107AM wont' be home until 330PM

Yeah, if you don't mind linking me to the capx. I can study it and learn from it.

Yeah, I did a bootleg method which works by deactivating groups depending on input. The only problem is I can't make my on-screen controls disappear once you use a keyboard or gamepad.

In the future I would advise you to use scirra.com/forum/log-text-Objects-to-chrome-console_topic47859.html you can add events in your code flow to make sure it's being called, also debug variables which is SOOOOO helpful!

Might be a little advanced for me, I'm a rookie

Ok gang, I've played around several methods trying to figure out a way to detect what a player is using when they start my game. I've already setup 3 control methods: Keyboard, Touch, & Gamepad. However, I want to make it so when it detects a player is using a Gamepad/Keyboard then my on screen touch controls will be invisible/inactive.

I've learned how deactivate those groups when a player is using one or the other, but I don't know how to make my on screen controls invisible/deactivate. My on screen arrows are separate objects, I don't know if this is the problem or not??

Well, playing with it I solved it...somehow the event sheet got deselected so no matter what I did the game didn't know what to do.

Alright....how do I upload my file?

That could be the problem....nothing was firing yesterday lol

Can't right now I'm at work :) Basically I created some direction arrows and I told it when my cursor touches the arrow to move or simulate movement in that direction. I made sure mouse touches were set to Yes.

I tried it the other way too without the 8 way control and it still didn't move my object.
