Question on Virtual Pad

Tom2012

Just downloaded the fantastic TNT Virtual Pad.

One question - how do I detect a release of the pad?

Here's the code that I came up with from reading the pdf

local function rightJoy(e)   if e.data.selected then print(e.data.state) carro:rotateCannone(e.data.angle)   end   if e.data.state == "PAD.STATE_END" then print("Ended") end end

But it prints either 15 or 16 and doesn't detect the end state.

Thank you

i think is a bug... (
check as soon as possible... ;;)

I haven't used the TNT Virtual Pad yet, but just glancing at the code, if it prints 15 or 16 then those must be constants defined in it to check. My guess is you don't want quotes around PAD.STATE_END because PAD.STATE_END is probably one of those constants (probably 15 or 16). Since you're checking if e.data.state is equal to that string, it never finds a match.

GregBUG

as said by @zvardin in code snippet there is an error "PAD.STATE_END" is a constant (number 17 in that case)

anyway PAD.STATE_END (only for pad) is not working on v1.10 fixing now tomorrow i'll update! (Buttons events are working btw)

sorry for the inconvenience! :P

GregBUG

the correct code should be:

local function rightJoy(e)   if e.data.selected then carro:rotateCannone(e.data.angle) end   if e.data.state == PAD.STATE_END then print("Ended") end end

TNT Virtual PAD is FIXED NOW
i'll update tomorrow!

thanks for support!.

ciao.

Another question on Virtual Pad...

Is there any way to define the area which the pad registers a touch. To be able to say set a max radius, outside of which the pad is not active?

Thanks - I think this is a fantastic tool by the way!

@tom2012

no... with current version...

maybe i can add in next version...


a command like this should be fine for example ?

vPad:setMaxRadius(40)

Tom2012

That would be fantastic!

Another quick question... on the joypad, the joystick image (smaller circle) appears behind the larger translucent circle. Is there a way to set it the other way around?

Hi! guys…
a little update for my TNT Virtual PAD.

This is a BUG Fix Release

Fixed Events Release for Virtual PADS
Fixed GFX Layer Error on Virtual PAD
Add a new Touch modality based on radius
so now Virtual pad can handle touches also on user defined radius. (see docs and examples for more infos)

Thanks to @Tom2012 for Bug reports and suggestions.
and thanks to all peoples that support my work with donations! (thanks guys!)

Hi GregBUG - excellent news. However there might be a problem. When running the examples I get:

"error loading module 'tntvpad64' from file './tntvpad64.lua':
./tntvpad64.lua: bad header in precompiled chunk
stack traceback:"

Thanks
