How to change an actor image depending on the position of the joystick?

isabelaq

hello my question is, how to change an actor image depending on the position of the joystick, for example, I move the player to the left with the joystick, how can to change animation when the joystick it on the left and not the same image, and vice versa on the right?

Set up an attribute as integer. Then make a rule in the joystick actor, that when it shows 'left' then change attribute to 2, and when it goes "right" set attribute to 3, and when you want it centered set attribute to 1. Then, in the actor make a rule that when attribute = 1 change image to standard image, and when attribute = 2, change image to left facing image, and when attribute = 3 change image to right facing image.

See if that works.

if you are using the joystick demo then just base it off Game.angle

which is an attribute already being set by the joysticks position

sorry but I'm too slow, thanks for your help, please help me more. I made a rule with the atribute Game.angle how I can be the atribute left, right or center
thanks again

You just have to decide the angles you want to use for each direction greater than 45 and less than 135 would be up etc….

So your rule would be

When game.angle is >45 and
When game.angle is <135
--Change image to up.png
Otherwise
When game.angle in >135and
When game.angle is <225
--Change image to left.png
Otherwise

and so on...
