Touch movement and buttons. Possible?

agentcooper0115@sogetthis.com

I am working on a top down prototype which involves having the hero actor move to where the screen is touched (this is working) but also attack when a button image at the bottom right of the screen is touched.

These both work, but when I touch the attack button, the hero actor moves toward it.

Any ideas?

TIA

You could create a game attribute called hudTouched (set it to 0) and then whenever the attack button is touched have hudTouched =1, else hudTouched = 0.

Then in your move rules have the player only move when touch is pressed and hudTouched = 0 (ie when touch is pressed and the user is not touching any HUD buttons).

I hope that sends you in the right direction

Good idea, thanks. I'll try that!
