Limit speed of drag

alexander144

I have an actor that is able to be dragged left and right however I can keep rushing it really fast left and right and I want it to be limited to a speed I assign. Is it possible to do this and if so, how?

DrGlickert

Do you have the box, 'Max Speed' checked? In each actor on the left side (inspector panel), under the "motion" arrow, click the Max Speed box and put a value in for the max speed.

Tried that but I can still drag it around as fast as I want

Photics

Maybe a Move To behavior would work instead. The actor could move to the touch point, when the touch originates from within the actor.

Thanks but how do I do that? Is there a tutorial or something?

I would use Interpolate:

Rule when
Actor receives event touch is pressed (touch)
(in the behavior for that rule)
--Rule when
--- Actor receives event touch is outside (drag)
----self.Position.X To: touch1.Position.X
and set the speed in Duration:

and you need another Interpolate for the self.Position.Y...replace the Xs above with Ys.

Hmm it isn't really working to well. Have a look at how I set it up please and let me know if I did anything wrong. http://img854.imageshack.us/i/testdx.png/

I think you would need a couple attributes, one for speed.
Game.Speed relative to position or something.

I would suggest asking Tshirt Booth about this one.

Have a rule in whatever you want to drag when actor recieves event touch is pressed

drag a timer in that rule and set it to every 0 seconds

Then put a move behavior in that timer, put the x postiion mouse position x, and the y postion mouse position y relative to scene

Then in speed put whatever you want the max speed to be
