Manual entry

AngleAt(index)

AngleForID(id)

Get the angle of motion of a specific touch in degrees by its zero-based index or unique ID. A touch must be moving across the device screen for this expression to contain a useful value.

You can also get the angle of your swipe with Touch.AngleAt()I've read the entry and don't quite get the terminology. Do I just put a zero in the parenthesis?

Make variables for touchstartx and touchstarty and check them against touch.x an touch.y to see the general direction of the movement is.Ok, there's a start. Many projectiles were created this way. so I did this:

"trigger once"                          create projectile

"touch 0 speed >5000"

     "touchstartx+300<touch.x"          set bullet speed...

                                        set bullet angle...

Sometimes this works, but mostly projectiles will only go the right. I have no idea why.

I'd like to be able to swipe in either directions - up/down/left/right - and have a projectile launch from a character in that direction. How would this be done?

You have an earlier instance on Layout 1 - Level:BlockSlivers. C2 is using that as the master . You have Fade at start set to Yes on that one.Aha! Thanks! I didn't realize that's how it worked. I've probably run into this problem before.

I'm creating objects in the beginning that I want to fade away when clicked. Instead, they fade away as soon as everything's loaded.

Set Active at start to No.This works for objects already created, but not those that are created later. I'm wondering about the latter.

Is there a way to create an object with the fade behavior that doesn't start on creation?

I know how to detect this mathematically. I'm looking for a graphical way to show the ranges to the player.

Ok, I've tried it and got both results seemingly dependent on the cell size and cell border. I don't understand.

How does pathfinding deal with multiple paths of equal distances?

Say a sprite wants to get from the bottom left of a square to the top right. There's an obstacle in the middle. The sprite can go up then right or right then up. How does it decide?
