How do I make this in game D-Pad work?

This is probably a completely basic question and I thought I would have the basic answer to it as well. That's not what happened though, hehe.

Anyways, I've got a in-game D-Pad that makes my Rocket move in four directions. Up, Down, Left, and Right. But the Pad won't simulate the movements when they're held down. My Rocket is suppose to keep the same angle and merely move in the direction that the player is holding a directional button. Since the game is constantly moving forward.

What am I doing wrong?

Here my friend:

Instead of using "On hold gesture", try using "On Touch" or "Is touching"

For movements, "Is touching" is the better on directional buttons.

Thank You! I knew it was gonna be a simple answer! BAH!

Thanks Again....
