Hi,
my screen is set to double the width of the visible display, allowing for swiping to move the camera from side to side. When a touch event occurs it’s event.x and event.y are relative to the current display, is there a technique to get the actual x,y coordinates so my objects don’t jump back to the true x,y of the level?
if I’m not clear please let me know.
thanks,

“my screen is set to double the width of the visible display, allowing for swiping to move the camera from side to side.”
How so? Typically I control my camera by having all of my objects in a group which gives the same dilemma you mentioned. What I have to do is use an offset when referencing the touch events. I can’t remember the exact code(and I don’t have it with me) but I believe it’s something like this:
[lua]function myTouch(event)
xTouch = -myLevelGroup.x + event.x
yTouch = -myLevelGroup.y + event.y
–and then move whatever objects to your xTouch/yTouch
myDisplayObject.x = xTouch
myDisplayObject.y = yTouch
end[/lua]
If that doesn’t work then try playing around with the +/- on the xtouch/ytouch line.
Edit: apparently the cite tags don’t work! [import]uid: 147305 topic_id: 30806 reply_id: 123278[/import]
Many many thanks,.
Yep forgot to check my objectgroup coordinates for offset. Somedays the most elegant and simple just don’t come to mind.
Thanks again. [import]uid: 23182 topic_id: 30806 reply_id: 123280[/import]
