How do I control player animation smoothly with tilt

In the infinite jumper template i added a mirrored/ not mirrored animation to the Touch gamma events. It does what it's supposed to do, but the animation jerks too much.

If the tilt is barely a few degrees either way, the player's animation jumps left to right or vice versa erratically. Anyway to calm this down a bit and make it a bit smoother?

Thanks for any input with this.

It sounds like the mirrored is what is causing the jerking—is the origin in the middle of the sprite?

I assume the mirroring is done from the origin, so the closer the origin is to the center of the sprite the smoother the toggling of the mirroring should be.

Thanks for reply, —

Yes, the origin is in the correct place.

When jumping, if you tilt just a small fraction it's like he can't decide which way to go. Like he's shaking from left to right.

I was thinking it has to do with the gamma numbers, but if i increase them too much he becomes sluggish.

You should consider to have a dead zone like on gamepad.

I guess you are having your animation change action happen if the tilt is between value A and value B.

Make sure that A is further from 0 (or from the origin value) to prevent the animation change to happen too often (the player has to tilt the device intentionally in a specific direction).

Add such an offset in the other direction as well, and possibly to any other direction you would need.

What type of movement behavior? How do you have it setup/what are your events?

Consider posting screenshot of what is happening and/or your events so it is easier to help you.

Thanks for the tip, Kyatric i'll check that out.

— i am using the infinite jumper demo. Everything is the same except i added mirrored/ not mirrored animation to the Touch Events with the gamma logic... simulate pressing left - set mirrored...

Oh, i did increase the numbers from -8, 8 to -10, 10.

That and i added a scoring system.

Nothing much more than that.

But I'm still not sure what this means exactly:

... the animation jerks too much.

This is your original question/problem and it is still unclear. That's why I suggest posting an animated gif of it—probably easier to see than describe.

And if it is the 'animation' jerking too much, not the sprite's location, I would still think it has to do with the origin. Did you check the origin on every frame of the animation?

There are only 2 frames, frame 1 is landed, frame 2 is jumping.

Sensitivity that's what it is. If you look in the infinite jumper demo- at the touch > gamma events. That sprite only has 1 frame. But if you mirror it on left and not mirror it on right you'll see what i mean.

After looking at similar games, i think the problem may be with the platform speeds: speed, acceleration...

Have to mess around with it.
