Manipulation HELP

Thanks for helping out with this Chrisediting!

Hi Just Me,

You can do this by using a script to take your touch event and apply it as the screenTransform's position. Then, you can apply the new script and set the ScreenTransform that you want to move in the ScreenTransform field

I got this script from the ScreenTransform page of the API page. 

Let me know if you need any clarification.

Cheers,

Jonathan

// @input Component.ScreenTransform screenTransform

// Move the ScreenTransform to match the position of touch events
function onTouch(eventData) {
    var touchPos = eventData.getTouchPosition();
    var parentPos = script.screenTransform.screenPointToParentPoint(touchPos);
    script.screenTransform.anchors.setCenter(parentPos);
}

script.createEvent("TouchStartEvent").bind(onTouch);
script.createEvent("TouchMoveEvent").bind(onTouch);

Hi Just Me,

Ya, you can modify the script to keep the vertical position and only move in horizontal space. 

At the top of the script you can store the current Y position of the screenTransform

var originalCenter = script.screenTransform.anchors.getCenter();

then, in the onTouch, you set the new position to use the Y from the original center

// Move the ScreenTransform to match the position of touch events 
// in the x axis only
function onTouch(eventData) {
var touchPos = eventData.getTouchPosition();
var parentPos = script.screenTransform.screenPointToParentPoint(touchPos);
parentPos.y = originalCenter.y 
script.screenTransform.anchors.setCenter(parentPos);
}

Let me know if you need any clarification!

Final script: 

// @input Component.ScreenTransform screenTransform

var originalCenter = script.screenTransform.anchors.getCenter();

// Move the ScreenTransform to match the position of touch events
function onTouch(eventData) {
var touchPos = eventData.getTouchPosition();
var parentPos = script.screenTransform.screenPointToParentPoint(touchPos);
parentPos.y = originalCenter.y 
script.screenTransform.anchors.setCenter(parentPos);
}

script.createEvent("TouchStartEvent").bind(onTouch);
script.createEvent("TouchMoveEvent").bind(onTouch);
