Need Some help with touch controls

Hi guys,

I have started working on a new game although i have been working on construct 2 from a time but am struggling with one thing....am just not able to get the perfect result..

So here it is...through touch controls i want my player to move left and right...when user touch and move finger from right to left the player should move and get "mirrored" and when user touch move finger from left to right player should move and get "not mirrored"...i have implemented it...but not working that good..

So whats happening...player is moving fine...but not getting mirrored and not mirrored on time...sometime it does sometimes i have to drag more to make it mirrored....i need to make smooth need result kinda similiar to this game challenge 1

Right now touch works in bottom in my game but if i would be able to make it smooth i wanted to implement for full screen touch

Here is the capx am working on

shush !

Sounds like you need a center point on the X axis to check when dragging.

Global Variable CenterX

Set that to the center of the layout.

On Sprite X < CenterX Mirror Sprite

On Sprite X > CenterX set sprite Default animation

If you want it to switch every time you swipe left or right then set Center X at the X position of your sprite using every tick and use a global variable called OldX for the last X position of the sprite.

OldX = CenterX

CenterX = Sprite X

On CenterX < OldX Mirror Sprite

On CenterX > OldX Set Sprite animation Default

Do you see the basic mechanic ?

To be read as ....

"

... calculate relative difference between current touch and previous touch ...

add relative difference to object that you wanna move ...

... make current touch the previous touch ...

"

You going to need this a lot in a lot of situations. That translate 'absolute to relative'.
