How I can allow user to move billboard text?

Hi Shaimaaa,

You can do this by creating a script that takes the current touch position and applies to the binding point of the text:

To use this, in the resources panel, press Add > Script

Then, select the new script, and in the Inspector panel, paste the following code:

// Intercept every screen touch
global.touchSystem.touchBlocking = true;

// Get the sprite aligner on this object
var spriteAligner = script.getSceneObject().getFirstComponent("Component.SpriteAligner");

// Call this function every time the user touches the screen and moves their finger
var event = script.createEvent("TouchMoveEvent");
event.bind(function(eventData)
{
// Get the screen space position where a user touched.
var touchedPos = eventData.getTouchPosition();

// Apply the calculated position to the current text
spriteAligner.bindingPoint = screenPosToBindingPoint(touchedPos);
});

// Convert from touch position to binding position
function screenPosToBindingPoint(screenPos){
var x = (screenPos.x * 2) - 1;
var y = 1 - (screenPos.y * 2);
return new vec2(x, y);
}

Press Apply Changes to save the script.

Finally, select your Billboard Text, and drag the script from the Resources panel to its Inspector panel. You should get something like this

Now in the preview panel, you should be able to move that text around!

Can't wait to see what you come up with :)

Cheers,

Jon
