Sometimes you might want to define 8 directions instead of the full 360° using a joystick so we have taken the free template and modified it.

Useful for many types of games.

If you find it useful please comment so others can see it.



We will be uploading the project file to our free DBA RESOURCE CENTRE soon.

    Really excellent stuff - your tutorials are always spot on with no vagaries or 'learning on the job'.

    Killer thanks! Using this on a new project. One question.

    If I want to reduce the size of the "Base" so it can be more responsive, if there a quick way to do it without having to map the desired coords and update the rules?

    Figured it out already, Thanks for this!

    In case anyone wonders on how to make the "Base" smaller, you need to change the image of the base first (say 150) and then in the rule where it says "DistanceFromCenter" change accordingly. In my case it was 37.5 since I only took 50 (1/4) of the size from the 200, giving me the formula of 50/4 -50

    Cheers.

    Did any one have the issue where between left and left up it freezes the object being moved?
    This only happens when rotating the joystick counter clockwise

    I'm having this issue to, when I move right it's fine, but my character freezes sometimes when I move left from right , it's strange. Also I'm having a hard time trying to get the left angle sorted out, I want to only use 4 directions, but the left side is a little buggy . Can anyone help with the angles please
