Copter Style Game Control Help

Trying to utilize the same style controls as copter.

I do believe I will need acceleration to complete this.

I would like to make it so when the screen is pressed the copter goes up then when the touch is released the copter goes down.

If anyone could help direct me in the right direction I have tried a few different ideas but none work as a whole.

Thank you!

    make a full screen controller.

    1 Boolean "up"

    When you touch "inside" controller change "up" to true

    otherwise change "up" to false.


    In copter.

    If "up" is true accelerate 90 (relative to scene) at X speed.

    Otherwise accelerate 270 (relative to scene) at X speed.

    Thanks for the response.

    I did enter all of that problem is my copter is still not moving. I placed the full screen controller over the whole length of the scene. Am I failing to enter right on the full screen controller?

    A good way to find out if it's working or not is to put a display text in the controller and have it display the "up" attribute. You should see it switch back and forth from True and False as you touch and release.

    If you put the accelerate rules in the copter that act based on "up" then you should see it move.
