turn a wheel with you finger: rotate to follow touch, not swipe.

Hi

part 2 or my orbit request:

I've been experimenting with a game that involves a big wheel in the center of the screen that you can turn with your finger. I first used the vertical swipe technique to spin it but I want more precision. Ideally I would like it to behave like the old rotary dial telephones keeping track of the position of the mouse as it orbits around the wheel, rotating accordingly.

Any help you be very much appreciated! thanks

Alex

Hey, can't help answer, but could you link to the vertical swipe technique or explain it? New to GS, trying to build something that involves a wheel much like you're describing.

Darren has a nice template showing a control like this. his is for volume knobs but you can prob change it up to do what you want. http://gamesalad.com/forums/topic.php?id=17324

I think there's a rotation demo somewhere and this might help also: http://www.youtube.com/user/GameSaladCookbook/#p/search/0/NUGjQY0lXDk

Hey,Mikerozycki I don't know how to upload files, give me your email and I'll send you my game in it's current swiping status!
