GameMaker On display "controler" to move player

Traversal

Member
Hi, I am not sure what is the correct name, for what I am looking for. :rolleyes:
You might all know this controls on a device (smartphone) that you can use
on screen to move the player around (up,down,left,right) with your thumb.

I am looking for a way (or an extension if such exists) to implement this kind
of movement control. Maybe someone can guide me there? Thank you!:)

While I'm sure there probably are extensions for this, how you integrate input into your project could be very different to how others do. With this in mind, I'd suggest creating your own system to handle this.

It's something that you could reuse across multiple projects and would be well worth The time investment imho
