  • Ah, that's because the Base instance picked is the one that's overlapping PS.

    Try this:

    Alternatively, you can save baseID on the PS sprite when it arrives. Then, when a button is clicked, pick PS the same way you pick connected bases.

    PS.baseID=Button.connectionA | PS.baseID=Button.connectionB

  • Check if Mouse1 and EnemyBox1 are in a container.

  • NWJS versions 76-85 don't work with worker. This may be the reason of the black screen. Try disabling worker in project properties.

    This should be fixed in the upcoming NWJS 86.

  • Yes, picking PS by distance won't always be accurate, especially for diagonal paths.

    Instead, when a button is clicked, pick two bases connected to it, then pick PS instance overlapping these bases. Then pick unoccupied base from the two. Then move PS to that base.

  • No worries!

    Gamepad stick returns two values from -100 to +100, for horizontal and vertical axes.

    angle(0, 0, axisX, axisY) will give you the angle of the stick

    distance(0, 0, axisX, axisY) will give you the distance - how far it is from the center.

    Using these values you can move your cursor.

  • I noticed that some buttons were incorrectly configured in your project - check all IDs and connections.

    Also, like I said, when a button is pressed, you need to pick the valid PS instance, which is on a base connected to the button. Not sure if picking by distance will always work.

    If there are other problems, I highly recommend using Debug View and console logging for troubleshooting.

  • You can combine all objects into a hierarchy, and then move them all with a single action.

  • After you re-enable the behavior (or immediately before disabling it), set its vector X and Y to 0.

  • Here you go:

    dropbox.com/scl/fi/ll81tlpy14kxmaqcn43qn/GamepadAim.c3p

    See events #9 and #10

  • There are two problems with events 9-12 in your project: they run on every tick, and they don't update unoccupied bases. That's why I suggested using debug mode - you could've spotted this sooner.

    When you have "PS Overlapping Base ... Else ...", "Else" condition in this case doesn't mean "all instances that are not overlapping". It means "if the previous condition did not pick anything". So as long as PS is overlapping at least one base, the Else condition won't work.

    Ideally you need to update bases once only after the object has arrived.

    You also need to pick the right PS instance. Picking the nearest is not always correct. When a button is clicked, pick the bases connected to it, and then pick PS instance overlapping these bases.

  • You can run the game in debug mode and check if the occupied variable is set correctly.
