Multiscreen menus problem

ande

I'm creating a game that has a screen size of 1320 x 700 and to look around the screen I applied a camera movement based on touch. But then I saw the t-shirt booth multiscreen menus tutorial and tried to implement this drag and move functionality to my game on both the x and y.

Long story short, it didn't work because I have gravity set in the scene and when I uncheck the moveable the cam and drag actors fall off the screen.. so I counteracted gravity... but that was a no go.

I'm stuck on how to make this drag and move work simply on my large screen area.

I wish i could help, but ive never delt with this kind of thing before, though you could try uncheckiung gravity for that particular actor when you have it in the prototype? But other than that you could contact tshirt booth and ask him about it sales@tshirtbooth.com

Turn off gravity for the entire scene, and juste give all objects you want affected by gravity an accelerate downward behavior. It gives you much more control over your scenes

Cheers peeps, I'll have a look at sorting the gravity after I've picked apart an example I found of a scrolling map by carlos varela. Seems like it's straightforward enough operation.

Got it sorted after looking at the Background Drag Scrolling Example. Just created an invisible layer over the main section of the screen and added all the drag functionality.... simples
