How do I move sprite left and right by touch?

hi,

I have a problem where i want a sprite to move left and right by touch.

The idea is this, if the sprite moves to the left, then by touching the screen (doesn't matter where on the screen) the sprite should be moving in the opposite direction (180 degrees), and when the screen get touched again it should change direction to the left again (and on and on).

I tried this with the bullet behavior and the 8 movement behavior but it doesn't really work out so far.

So the location of the touch doesn't matter, it is touch anywhere on screen? You can do this by toggling a boolean.

On any touch, toggle sprite.boolean (between true and false)

If boolean = true, every tick simulate control move left

boolean = false, every tick sim control move right

Something like that.

Yes, the touch has to be on the screen.

Okay, thanks Plinkie! That sounds like a good solution, I will give it a try.
