Do you mean you don't want values such as "0.458264"?

If so you could convert the output to an integer:


I'm not sure what you mean by "Willing to Top or down"?

oct(31) = dec(25)

If you don't want these movements, you could check the Y Axis and only read the x if it is zero.

But because of fine control, it would be a good idea to allow a little movement - perhaps 5% each way.

I'm thinking a slightly better way might be to use the maximum value only:


Behdadsoft, you really should try using the help files: http://www.appgamekit.com/documentation/home.html

ABS()

oct(31) = dec(25)

Put this code and nothing else into a brand new project and tell me it doesn't work:


I think maybe you should take a look at your own code rather than blaming everyone else's code. That code works just fine thanks

The expression you are looking for is "Diagonal" not "Willing". Not sure what translator you are using but it seems to be not translating your good manners every time either. At least not in your replies to me...

ABS(value) means absolute, it returns whatever the value is as a positive, meaning you can compare 2 values to see which one is greater while easily allowing for negative values.

So if the absolute of joystickx is greater than the absolute of joysticky, then the player is moving left or right so ignore the Y value, or in Baxslashes example set it to 0 so it has no effect.

I am the one who knocks...

Behdadsoft - I would strongly suggest that you learn the fundamentals of programming before using a powerful took like AGK. Try this:

http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/basics-of-computer-programming-variables-datatypes/

Everyone is very kind on this forum, but it's not an introduction to programming.

-- Jim - When is there going to be a release?

i know this problem,
its because your viurtual stick is hold in a circle and not in a rectangle.
i had made a feature request for it.

instead of virtual joystick you can use a sprite and move it
at mouse down and limit this sprite position in a rectangle area.
then make a function that give you x,y as -1 to 1 from sprite position.

yes the reason is that the virtual stick simulate a analog stick.
what you need is a stick same as a remote control have.
about other topic,no problem,there isn't just one way of doing it.
