Rotating issue

Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

Hey guys

I am able to rotate my object… but only when my touch is on object…when it moves off object, it stops rotating… Runtime event listeners is working but i want to start rotating the object by getting first touch on the object and not anywhere on the screen 

So i wanna able to rotate it even though my touch goes off object while in moved phase…

This is my code 

 local adjustment = 0 local PI = 3.14159265358 local function onTouch(e) if(e.phase == "began") then local dx = e.x - (ball.x) local dy = e.y - (ball.y) adjustment = math.atan2(dy,dx) \* 180 / PI - ball.rotation elseif(e.phase == "moved") then local dx = e.x - ball.x local dy = e.y - ball.y ball.rotation = (math.atan2(dy,dx) \* 180 / PI) - adjustment end end Runtime:addEventListener('touch', onTouch)

try this

local adjustment = 0 local PI = 3.14159265358 local ball = display.newImageRect( "circle.png", 100, 100 ) ball.x, ball.y = display.contentCenterX, display.contentCenterY local function onTouch(e) display.getCurrentStage():setFocus( e.target ) if(e.phase == "began") then local dx = e.x - (ball.x) local dy = e.y - (ball.y) adjustment = math.atan2(dy,dx) \* 180 / PI - ball.rotation elseif(e.phase == "moved") then local dx = e.x - ball.x local dy = e.y - ball.y ball.rotation = (math.atan2(dy,dx) \* 180 / PI) - adjustment end end ball:addEventListener('touch', onTouch)
