Drag-Drop ? setting frame when dragging (SOLVED)

I searched the tuts and forum and could not find a solution.

Thanks for looking.

This is regarding when using the drag and drop behaviour,

I only have horizontal enabled (left and right)

so I want to change the frame of sprite depending on

which direction the sprite is moving toward.

for example.,

if idle / dropped set to frame 0

if dragging left set frame to 1

If dragging right set frame to 2

Is there an easy method I am overlooking?

Thanks for your help

if possible pls include a sample capx.

much appreciated

Hi producermark11 , Here is the .capx : (I can not post URL ,change to /)

https:@@www.dropbox.com@s@cfx23ye1pp5bahk@DropJudge.capx

After adding a object with [DragDrop] behavior , you need add a Mouse object to judge the left or right .

-----------------------

Solution:

Add a globe variable(maybe named OldX) to know where is your mouseX when you start

When you are dragging the object , using the OldX subtract the present mouseX ,to get the direction of your moving. If it is positive ,you are moving to right, if negative , is left.

here is the link ....

Zaoeyo

Thanks let me try that ...

ok, the above link is the start of a solution..

Sorry, I'm new to this so I need a bit more help

Ok, let me include the 3 needed images...

so at rest/idle/dropped, I wanted the image with no arrows (frame 0),

when being moved/dragging left the image with the arrows pointing left

frame(1)

and when dragging right the image with arrows pointing to the right

frame(2)

The image should only change when a movement has been detected. and then change back when dropped.

So if a player drags left and right continuously, the image should change

from left arrow to right arrow over and over until drag-drop.

If a player click on with no movement = no change.

anybody else care to upload a completed capx please. Very much appreciated.

Hi , i added a Event [Every Tick] to know every move's mouseX, and this may be what you want .

I see your event sheet ...

close but not quite there...

no new images show up.

text stopped working too

and

the new mouse position plus whatever movement (left or right),

determines whether a left arrow or right arrow image will appear.

and

nothing should happen if no movement is NOT detected.

sorry , I uploaded a wrong file , here will work :( to /)
