Hey guys i was wondering is it possible to check the X and Y of where the player touches the screen?
example: if the player touches the screen on the right side of an object i want to addforce so it goes to the left and vise versa.
Could someone give me an example of how this works or a tutorial on this? if its possible!
Kind regards,
Jeroen
When you set up a touch event, the function that handles the event gets a table passed to it. This is known as an “event” table (basically a table with some defined attributes). The X and Y of the touch event are members of that table.
local function myTouchHandler( event ) print("phase", event.phase) print("X", event.x) print("Y", event.y) return true end someObject:addEventListener("touch", myTouchHandler)
See: http://docs.coronalabs.com/api/event/touch/index.html for all the members of the touch event table.
Awesome exactly what i needed thank you very much!
