Position Saving

Hi,

I want to know if its possible to save on-touch end positions? For example I touch the screen to move an object and on release, I want the object to stay in its current position and when I touch the screen again, I can move it further...

Touch position is obtained by the expression Touch.X|Touch.Y

So you can assign those positions to global variables "on touch start" and "on touch end".

You can also store the values in an array.

Hi Kyatric,

How would I go about saving touch positions using global variables? or Arrays which I haven't used yet nor no much about...

With global var.

Each time you will start to touch the sprite, it will save its position to currX and currY.

Brilliant!

Your a STAR!

Could I have a look at the cap.x file please! :)

Cant seem to get it to work!

The capx

Doesn't seem to work at all on the ipad 1st gen!

So I've been playing around with the capx file and this is what I have so far:

SaveTouchPosition

The sprite moves and saves to position as far as I can tell but when I touch it again, it doesn't move... Also the sprite seems to be in the top left corner and I'm not sure why?     

Needing assistance!

ok... I was wondering for some day now... Don't you just want a basic drag&drop? o.o

Hi Yann,

Something similar to that yes!

I trying to create a "touch based" select character menu for my game so you swipe to a character, and it stays in a certain position, you swipe again and the next character appears in the same position and so on, that make sense...
