On Touch. Move Smoothly (Help!!)

Hello. Im still trying to learn this Construct 2 program. It's going really good so far. Its my second time asking for help making this game. I've done pretty much everything now without help.

My problem is:

First off. lemme explain how it's supposed to function.

I've splitted the screen so that when you press the left side of the screen the character/sprite is supposed to face and move that direction.

Same goes with the right side of the screen.

I got the On touch = Mirror to work so that the character / sprite is facing the right way, when pressed.

I can't seem to figure out the second and final part. How do i make the character / sprite move aswell when the Right/Left side is touched/pressed ??

Its supposed to work like this:

When you hold down your finger on the right side of the screen the character / sprite moves smoothly to the pressed / touched side. Same goes with the other side.

Any ideas how this might be done ? Would be glad to get an example aswell, since im still trying to learn

• Is in touch
• system compare: Touch.X < WindowWidth/2

set sprite.x to: self.x - 2

• Is in touch
• system compare: Touch.X > WindowWidth/2

set sprite.x to: self.x + 2

Im not quite understanding. Could you explain it more detailed.

I did try what you said but i can't seem to figure out what you mean exactly.

(sorry. bear with me)

Which part do you not understand?

Which part do you not understand?

Pretty much everything about it.

Will give an example on how the touch = mirror looks like.

How would i apply what he said to that ??

Here an example example .capx -> https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/26932498/howto/touch_move/touch_move.capx

If you want to use letterbox scale or somethins else, I recommend create some sprite to touch on and use "is touching object".

In your example: is touching 'left touch'/'right touch'.

edit: I changed the .capx to "LayoutWidth" instead of "WindowWidth". Now it also works with any Fullscreen scaling.

Thanks zyblade. You saved me lots of time and also you helped me learning more
