Floating Joystick From Joystick Pack - How Can I Set It To Activate Only When Left Side Of Screen Touched?
Hi there, so I'm trying to use the Joystick Pack that you can find on the asset store for free, and basically I just want to have a joystick that shows up at the specific touch position when only on the left side of the screen, and on the right side of the screen I just want the player to be able to tap to jump.
I've been trying many ways for weeks to get this to work, I actually came very close with my custom script but both the outer container and the inner container were always stuck together.
This is the Floating Joystick script where I think I need to do the editing, I'm not sure:
public class FloatingJoystick : Joystick
{
protected override void Start()
{
base.Start();
background.gameObject.SetActive(false);
}
public override void OnPointerDown(PointerEventData eventData)
{
background.anchoredPosition = ScreenPointToAnchoredPosition(eventData.position);
background.gameObject.SetActive(true);
base.OnPointerDown(eventData);
}
public override void OnPointerUp(PointerEventData eventData)
{
background.gameObject.SetActive(false);
base.OnPointerUp(eventData);
}
}
And here is part of my attempt before this (it's very messy I'm sorry):
public void Update() {
for (int i = 0; i < Input.touchCount; i++)
{
Vector2 touchPosition = Input.touches[i].position;
if (touchPosition.x < Screen.width/2)
{
pointA = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(new Vector3(touchPosition.x, touchPosition.y, Camera.main.transform.position.z));
pointB = Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(new Vector3(touchPosition.x, touchPosition.y, Camera.main.transform.position.z));
circle.transform.position = pointA;// * -1;
outerCircle.transform.position = pointB;// * -1;
circle.GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>().enabled = true;
outerCircle.GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>().enabled = true;
touchStart = true;
}
if (touchPosition.x > Screen.width/2)
{
keyPressed = true;
}
else
{
keyPressed = false;
}
}
}
void FixedUpdate()
{
if (touchStart)
{
Vector2 offset = pointB - pointA;
Vector2 direction = Vector2.ClampMagnitude(offset, 1.0f);
circle.transform.position = new Vector2(pointA.x + direction.x, pointA.y + direction.y) * -1;
}
else
{
touchStart = false;
circle.GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>().enabled = false;
outerCircle.GetComponent<SpriteRenderer>().enabled = false;
}
}
Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you!
im having a similar issue did you ever sort it?
On the Joystick Pack documentation it says that
The floating and dynamic joysticks have a background and handle like the fixed joystick but they are contained within an empty rect, this defines the area where the joystick can appear.
I think that's what you want to do, just move the empty rect (which should be the one with the script on it) to fill in the left side of the screen
