Arrows move actor left-right?

Eminem

I haw two arrows set up on left and one right I have this actor and I want the user when touch the arrows the actor moves to that side anyone know how to do this

Cheers,

Quick and dirty way:

Have two global variables - Booleans - call them 'Left' and 'Right'

On the left arrow have a rule:
If touched:
Change 'Left' to True.
Change 'Right' to False.

On the right arrow:
If touched:
Change 'Right' to True
Change 'Left' to False

On the player actor:

If Left = True
Move actor left

If Right = True
Move actor Right

If you want to change the direction the actor is facing, you can always use different images depending on whether Left or Right is true.

Hope that helps!

ok i made two Booleans and checked them both in the left arrow i click creat rule and touch is pressed

then i created a new rule but changed it to attribute and then i chose game.left is true and game.right is false

and i did the same for the right but the opposite

in the player i created a new rule and choose attribute and put game.left is true and inside i put a move left behaviour

and

creat rule attribute and it is gmae.right is true move right

but when i play it it stays still is there something im doing wrong?

I'm not sure I understand where you've put the booleans.

They should be GLOBAL attributes, not on the actor itself. i.e. they should be game.left, not self.left for example.
