Detect side click of actor

ErikAuranaune

Hi, how can i detect witch side of the actor i press? I want that the more to left i click, the bigger motion.linear.velocity.x it gets.
So if i press all on the left on the actor it moves example motion.linear.velocity.x = 100, and if i press in the middle of the actor, it moved motion.linear.velocity.x = 0. Something like that.. Any suggestions?

(With a 100 x 100 pixel actor)

When touch is pressed Change Velocity:
Direction: 0
Speed: max(0,min(100,(100-( game.Mouse.Position.X - self.Position.X )*2)-100))

I tried this, but it only makes it move right. How do i do this also with right side?

Summation

Try reversing it?

How exactly? It doesn´t work for me.

Lol I worked the expression out to precisely match your stated aims.

"if i press all on the left on the actor it moves example motion.linear.velocity.x = 100, and if i press in the middle of the actor, it moved motion.linear.velocity.x = 0."

It was actually quite tricky trying to get the maths to ignore the righthand side of the actor and only respond to the left - I wish people wouldn't approach questions in a piecemeal fashion ! The reason it only moves right is because that's what you asked for.

I could give you the answer, but I suspect at that stage you will tell me that your actor is not 100 x 100 pixels, I would then change the expression to work with the size of your actor, at which stage you will tell me that the actor needs to rotate . . . (etc etc)

Play around with this . .

When touch is pressed and mouse position is inside
Change velocity to:
Direction 0
Speed ((100-( game.Mouse.Position.X - self.Position.X ))-100)*2

Then speed = ((100-( game.Mouse.Position.X - self.Position.X ))-100)*2 should work !!

Yes, i used:
Speed = ((100-( game.Mouse.Position.X - self.Position.X ))-100)*10

Thanks for all the feedback, you've been a pleasure to work for Lol.
