Delay problem

edited November -1 in Working with GS (Mac)
Hello everybody:
I am sorry that lately I only talk about the Joystick but since my first game still waiting for review, I need to keep myself busy with another game or I will loose my mind.
When I touch the stick to move the player it takes a little bit, I think that a second or a little less but in a moving and evading game this is disastrous.

    Does your joystick control player up,down,left right. Or control from overhead
  • LordTarantorLordTarantor Member, PRO Posts: 890
    I am using is the codemonkey's joystick. I don't think is the up, down etc...
    How would it be Up, down, right and left.

    i havent looked at tutorial i like to try and get it my self
    i just learn better that way
    when i say left right up down i mean like a pacman control
    when i say overhead i mean like looking down on a tank and it rotates and moves in the direction you want

    well I would have to say like a the tank. You can move it in any direction.

    Crank up the Acceleration of the Actor, and use the max speed attribute to cap it.

    Accelerate speed 10000
    max speed 300

    Something like that will give you instant pickup.

    FMG thanks but it still got a delay and I think it has to be with the time that it takes the stick to activate the movement.
    jstrahan, this demo is awesome it moves exactly the way I wanted. I will also will like to see your other demos. I really think this is the best joystick demo I have found. The problem with the touch is present, I don't know if you know about this. If you put a finger on the right side of the screen and without releasing it, you try to move the stick it will only travel to that direction. There are a lot of people trying to figure a solution for this so I am telling you to se if you can common with an idea.
    Great demo hope to see the others.
    Thanks

    Hello jstrahan:
    I try to download the demo to put it in my device with the GS viewer but is for view only, I cant test it.
  • jstrahanjstrahan Member Posts: 498
    Sorry I'll update
  • jstrahanjstrahan Member Posts: 498
    Updated

    Thanks jstrahan. but I tried this but now if I am holding the stick and press a button the actor starts to move to the direction of the button or lets say you dont put a button it does the same if you touch the screen anywhere else.
  • jstrahanjstrahan Member Posts: 498
    Ok not a problem just have to check which touch is stick then disable others for stick I'll fix when I get home if u can't figure it out
  • LordTarantorLordTarantor Member, PRO Posts: 890
    you rock. thanks man.
  • LordTarantorLordTarantor Member, PRO Posts: 890
    Oh and by the way, you say that you would do it if I cant figure it out...
    Every joystick demo I have work, have the wichtouch attribute on the stick but yours don't so I don't even know how to approach it.
  • jstrahanjstrahan Member Posts: 498
