Need to know how players can move objects around ingame

Braydon_SFX

Hey, i need to know how a player can move a object/s around ingame.
Example: I want them to tap and move a object/s to a location.

Any help would be excellent!

Make a rule
When tap is inside interpolate self.x to whatever you want and self.y to whatever you want. If you want a drag type effect you could constrain self.y to touch.y or self.x to touch.x if touch is inside Don't do both because then it can go anywhere.

Hope this helps if you need me to make it more clear just ask

Braydon_SFX

Yeah, if you can make more detail that would be amazing. I would give ya 5 start for answering so quickly, and if it works. ( i would give ya 5 stars if i could xP)

Like how do i get to interpolate self.x to self.y etc. Im new if you couldnt tell :P

Rule:
When touch is pressed
Interpolate self.x to device.touch.touch1.x (something like that)
Interpolate self.y to device.touch.touch1.y

With this when a person taps the object will move to that point in a set time.

If you just want it to teleport then use change attribute instead of interpolate.

If you want to have it that the user must drag the object to the location then make a rule
Rule:
when touch is inside
constrain attribute self.y to device.touch.touch1.y
constrain attribute self.y to device.touch.touch1.y

Does this help?

Okay, i would like the object/s to have the player move them:

Rule:
when touch is inside
constrain attribute self.y to device.touch.touch1.y
constrain attribute self.y to device.touch.touch1.y

But i got the constrain attribute and i see 3 little dots '...' inside a little box, do i click inside that? And if so, how do i navigate to the self.y?

I now have this:

Rule:

Actor receives event - touch - inside.

Constrain Attribute: self.Position.X - self.Position.X

Constrain Attribute: self.Position.X - self.Position.X

I'm pretty sure Tshirtbooth has a video on YouTube for this kind of thing. Sorry I can't be more specific.

You Really need to read everything in the support info from the support Tab. and then watch all of the videos in the GameSalad cookbook (Link at the bottom) And don't just watch the videos. Watch them Then watch them again creating the projects. Then try to create the projects from memory. You have to to crawl before you can walk and you have to be willing to help yourself For people to be willing to help you. It will get old very fast if you are coming here with questions that could easily be solved from one of those sources. Im not trying to mean and tell you not to ask that certainly the point of the forum. But the biggest mistake I see people make is trying to do anything with the Tool before they have even learned the Basics of the tool.

Good luck

I used this you may use interpolate if you like but here is what i did `Rule
when actor receives event touch is pressed
change attribute self.position.X to game.mouse.position.x(this is not a custom attribute)
change attribute self.position.Y to game.mouse.position.x(this is not a custom attribute)`
dont worry about no touch or mouse.position they both work on the macs, ipods, iphones, and ipads
