Touch control help

Hey all,

I am currently playing with making a mobile auto-runner. The expected behavior, using touch, is that the character automatically runs, turns when colliding with a wall, slides down walls when in contact, and can wall jump when in contact with a wall.

All of this works except you have to spam tap to get wall jumping to work most of the time. Even when slowing down the taps, it usually takes at least 2 taps to get the character to wall jump. I've tried a few different ways with no luck, I would love some help.

Here is a link to the project I am working with: drive.google.com/file/d/1XEHfDKRPj8zLX8xtUHkTqcqnS8LDDdqW/view

Thanks!

"Tap" is a gesture, it's triggered only after the finger is lifted from the screen, and it's more suited for buttons. In your case you need "On any touch start" event, it allows much faster reaction.

Also, your project is for C3, and you are posting in C2 forum.

I did not realize that about the touch event, thank you so so much, that's crazy helpful!

I also did not realize I was in the Construct 2 forum, so sorry about that. Thanks for letting me know.

Again, thanks so much for taking the time!
