Hey firemaple little bit of help

Billyd1

I see you demo here: http://gamesalad.com/game/play/45866

How would I make that move by my finger touch?

Thanks

It would probably be best with a virtual joystick or something like that...

However, if you wanted the car to follow your finger, you could use the Move To Behavior. The X and Y would be game.Touch1.X and game.Touch1.Y

For the rotation, use Rotate To Angle.

And to get that angle, use VectorToAngle(game.Touch1.X-self.Position.X,game.Touch1.Y-self.Position.Y)

That's just off the top of my head though, and I haven't tested it, but something like that should work.

Any chance you could create a quick demo?

Yeh, but im not that experienced with gamesalad yet so I don't really understand some of that.

Trail and error, search similar topics. It's unfair to ask someone to write your game for you. If you don't understand then i suggest going to through the wiki. I know it can all seem daunting at first, but trust me, it's the best way. This topic is well versed in the forum, and i'd be very surprised there wasn't a template already made. C'mon dude, you'll rock when you figure it out! Good Luck!
