Has anyone seen a template for...

I'd like to create a swipe movement for a 2D character. So you'd have say a football pitch and a player could touch an actor and drag to a point and release. The character would then go to that point.

Ideally, follow the path the finger took, but a straight movement would do.

Or is this kind of thing pushing it too far?

Would love to do this. Any help much appreciated.

    tsb has a template called "Hit the Balls" it has pull back, adjust angle, then release you could modify that or look for a template called waypoints and another called breadcrumbs. You could probably hobble something together from any of those.

    that should be a pretty easy thing to get setup if you look through a lot of the control and movement demos that are free you should be able to get something together. Although you cannot very easily get it to follow your actual path. you would need arrays for that.

    Not true. You can do this pretty easily if you combine the waypoint demo and line drawing demo by ORBZ

    I think it could be done but not easily thats a whole sh*t load of attributes to make a smooth path that your actor follows.

    Are there instructions somewhere for ORBZ waypoint example? (this one: http://gamesalad.com/game/play/77465 )

    I've been looking and looking... This sort of behavior is what I need for half of my game.
