How do I simulate platform behaviour on mobile

I am currently using arrow keys and spacebar to move my player on desktop.However i can't do the same on mobile.For e.g when a user press up and arrow right on desktop , the player jumps to the right.

I can't seems to achieve the same for mobile ?

Can anybody help me fix this

Couple of things - may be better to have controls in their own group (desktop, mobile) and if on mobile - System create object > up, down, etc. etc.

Why only a space bar on mobile to jump? Better to separate the arrows - left/right on left side of screen - up/down on right side, since the spacebar sprite only jumps on mobile.

This way you can easily manage the events/actions - touch right - move right. touch up - jump. Easy peasy.

Also, mobile controls are very small, and collision polygon should be a bit larger than the actual arrow. Difficult to get him moving on mobile. I kept missing the buttons.

I tried this earlier , i can't make the player jump well i think its because of multi touch.Basically if i want to jump right , i press arrow up and right simultaneously but this doesn't seems to work on mobile

If you can modify the capx that woul;d help , all sprites are already in file

Question- what is the instance variable 'direction' on hero for?

I think the problem was right in front of me.

With the left/right movement - change 'On Touched' arrow to 'Is Touching' arrow

Let me know if that works. If not, i'll send you the capx.

jeffige its already to is touching for me

You can also change the position of the buttons as you said above but i want the space button to make the character run faster(check for keyboard event.It was a mistake on my part

kab

The problem with that is - you had it 'touching spacebar' to run faster on desktop. Not on mobile.

And you can easily add a different sprite, like a lightning bolt next to the jump button for extra speed.
