    Question on Virtual Pad

    edited November 2012 in General questions
    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 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.

      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

      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.

      @GregBUG

      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!

      no... with current version... :(

      maybe i can add in next version...


      a command like this should be fine for example ?
         vPad:setMaxRadius(40)

      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?

      it's fixed now...

      an update will come soon (with setMaxRadius) suggested by you.
      thanks.

      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

      Tom
