Better way to approch button to action (move player)

[Learning]

Hey so i moved away from the gameControler.js

 

So instead i tried this.

lftButton = game.add.button(0, 300, 'button', actionMoveLeft, this, 2, 1, 0);
rhtButton = game.add.button(200, 300, 'button', actionMoveRight, this, 2, 1, 0);

 

//but i know that it has to keep update alive cause when you only use this you have to press the button like crazy to make the player move.

tried too add an extra pointer, and then check for active input and so on but still no good came from it.

 

So please any better solutions too this would be awesome thanks!

function actionMoveLeft() {    player.body.velocity.x -= 900;    player.animations.play('left');}function actionMoveRight() {   player.body.velocity.x += 900;   player.animations.play('left');}

tried it like this

rhtButton.onTouchStart = function(event){player.body.velocity.x += 900;player.animations.play('right');}

and then just the pixi way but no dicebutton.touchstart = function(touchData){player.body.velocity.x -= 900;player.animations.play('left');}

the doc's for this is very little too none. so i was hopin too get some more ideas on this

Thanks!

button = game.add.button(0, 300, 'button');

rhtButton = game.add.button(200, 300, 'btn');

button.inputEnabled = true;

button.input.pointerOver.id = 1;

rhtButton.inputEnabled = true;

rhtButton.input.pointerOver.id = 1;

rhtButton.input.useHandCursor = true;

button.input.useHandCursor = true;

game.input.onHold.add(actionMoveLeft, this);

game.input.onHold.add(actionMoveRight, this);

button.events.onInputDown.add(actionMoveLeft, this);

rhtButton.events.onInputDown.add(actionMoveRight, this);

}

function actionMoveLeft() {

player.body.velocity.x -= 900;

player.animations.play('left');

}

function actionMoveRight() {

player.body.velocity.x += 900;

player.animations.play('right');

}

//have it as so but still have not found a solution to keep walking if it's onHold the button...

//please guide me!!!

game.input.onHold.add(actionMoveLeft, true, this);

game.input.onHold.add(actionMoveRight, true, this);

button.events.onInputDown.add(actionMoveLeft, this);

rhtButton.events.onInputDown.add(actionMoveRight, this);

}

function actionMoveLeft() {

if (game.input.onDown && actionMoveLeft && checkActiveDown) {

checkActiveDown = true;

player.body.velocity.x -= 300 * 2;

player.body.x -= 2;

player.animations.play('left');

} else if (game.input.onUp) {

player.body.velocity.x -= 100 * 4;

player.body.x -= 4;

player.animations.play('left');

checkActiveDown = false;

}

}

function actionMoveRight() {

if (game.input.onDown && actionMoveLeft && checkActiveDown) {

player.body.velocity.x += 300 * 2;

player.body.x += 2;

player.animations.play('right');

} else if (game.input.onUp) {

player.body.velocity.x += 100 * 4;

player.body.x += 4;

player.animations.play('right');

checkActiveDown = false;

}

}

this is my solution - since i moved away from gamecontroller.js too i made my own gamecontroller with phaser only..

 

 http://www.html5gamedevs.com/topic/1813-the-monthly-phaser-examples-contest/?p=27173

 

the mentioned workaround (the one line in the update loop where i check for current pointers) to make buttons NOT stick is not needed anymore in 2.0.2

valueeerror that is very nice work!!!

[valueerror]

thx.. hope it helps.

@valueerror, i've fixed left and right but the jump button is not working as it should.

i use 2.0 of phaser so first of all i have to make use of velocity to get the player to jump

and not moveUp so yeah it's not reacting that fast to the jump don't get why.

 

i removed the delay and i dont have it inside a function..

game.physics.startSystem(Phaser.Physics.ARCADE);game.physics.arcade.gravity.y = 250;var bjump=false;jump = game.add.button(100, 280, 'btnjump', null, this, 2, 1);jump.events.onInputOver.add(function(){bjump=true;});jump.events.onInputOut.add(function(){bjump=false;});jump.events.onInputDown.add(function(){bjump=true;});jump.events.onInputUp.add(function(){bjump=false;});   if (bjump) {                             player.body.velocity.y = -200;                       }

[valueerror]

so you are using arcade and not p2..   

shouldn't make that big of a difference...   do you have the possibility to upload a testcase?  do you have the latest release - phaser 2.0.2 ?

i updated too 2.0.2 today but i get error when trying to use player.body.moveLeft(200); etc < :/

 

update solved all my problems only have some bounce problems the player does not get any bounce but it can be fixed

 

Thanks!! so much!!
