Like I said, you can enable "use mouse input" and use Touch events for everything.

You can apply the same logic — save Touch.speed and Touch.angle into two variables. When the drag ends, use those stored values to tween the sprite in that direction. You’ll just need to adjust the tween parameters (distance and time) to suit your needs.

You can use Touch for everything, it's compatible with mouse.

Here is a simple version with lerp, where the sprite just keeps moving in the drag direction for a while:

Ok, it's not the cleanest code but here you go:

1920x1080 is the most common choice, you can design your project and prepare all art for this resolution.

Mobile screens come in all sizes these days, so if you don't want black bars at the sides of the screen you will need to resize the viewport. You can use one of these fullscreen modes: Scale Inner or Scale Outer (recommended).

With only one turret you can temporarily remove the building from its list of targets, or disable its collisions.

But if you have multiple turrets and want other turrets to continue attacking the building, then your only option is to acquire targets with events. It's not terribly complicated.

If you want proper physics behavior when dragging, check out this example:

Wouldn't if var=0, set it to 1 do the same thing?

Yes, but you have to add extra sub-events to compare the variable.

Set var to (var=0?1:0) allows to toggle a variable in a single action.

What does var=0?1:0 mean?

Set var to (var=0?1:0) means "if var=0, set it to 1, otherwise set it to 0"

Only Zoom Out works now (CameraZoom=1 event). Zoom In doesn't work.

That's because CameraZoom can never be 0. Check your logic - first you're adding 1 to CameraZoom, then comparing it to 0. Should be the other way around.

If you want to toggle a variable between 0 and 1, there are several easier ways to do this:
Set var to (var=0) Set var to (var=0?1:0) Set var to (var+1)%2

Or you can use a boolean variable - it has a toggle action.

how should I credit you in my game (should I ever publish it) for helping me? Your real name or dop2000?

This isn't necessary, but you can put dop2000 :)

On your second screenshot, the last event (Is tween playing) is nested under the parent event (On key pressed). It needs to be a separate, top-level event.
