Best example: its pretty simple to visualize but to explain its tricky, I’m looking for a way to add a button similar to the left and right joystick for my game but its used do other functions
i have a middle button widget set up so if “press” it drops a bomb but im trying to make it so that if i press and hold and swipe up,down,left or right it throws it in that direction?
on press drop yeah that’s fine, but on held down and released at the right i would like it to fire grenade to the right without having to use the other joystick pretty much need to make my own joystick with a button that can be pressed and can move even if its slightly so it knows which direction is triggered
What’s the input? Mouse, keyboard, a controller, something else? How are you going to operate this?
Generally speaking you place something in a canvas and move the slot the canvas creates.
If I wanted to move in a somewhat circular fashion, I’d get the input from the device (direction & magnitude) and rotate a 2d vector in the widget - place the canvas slot there.
So let’s say I (Press & move the widget button right) “virtual joystick style” on release at “…” angle set angle of (character socket) and trigger the event on release
- Joystick style widget
- Press button (do something)
- Press and move widget location = (set socket rotation to match (like Virtual Joystick)but only “print string” fire event on release with the character socket facing that direction …
- After all that reset rotation of character socket to default
- Set widget button to default
After writing that it seems much more simplistic I just need to know how to rotate the widget button in a circular motion like the virtual joystick.
