on key released -> touch version?

Hi guys,

Remember my game? gameoftrolls.net23.net

well, now I'm porting the game to tablets and I need to add the "virtual gamepad". So far I've already created the arrows using the "touch" object and 3 sprites. the problem now is with the 2 powers (the FAP gun and the ULTRA Scream)

Currently I'm using two events:

On F pressed -> do the things I need..

On F released -> change again to normal mode

The problem is that with Touch object I don't have a "on touch with the object finishes" and that's causing me a headache

I'd like to create an event like

"On F icon is being touched" -> Simulates key F being pressed

"On F icon is not longer being touched" -> Simulates key F being released

cheers!

just invert the first test and use a variable to see if it was touch before !

If "icon is touch"

• > set var "IconWasTouched" to true
• > simulate F press

If "NOT" (invert the first test) "icon is touch" => YOU CAN USE A "ELSE" INSTEAD

(and) "IconWasTouched" is true

• > set var "IconWasTouched" to false (in fact tooglevalue)
• > simulate F release

(edit) If you have only 1 instance of the icon object you can create a instance variable in the icon object with the boolean type set to false by default.
