    If you have more directions than the 4 cardinal directions, then I'd suggest using Joystick Analog. The Joystick Controlled behavior only works with the 4 cardinal directions. Joystick Analog outputs angle, and based on that angle, you can play a different walking animation. For example, let's say you have 8 different angles (4 cardinal, and 4 diagonal) - you would divide the angle by 8 and round it. You get a number ranging from 0 to 7, each number corresponding to a direction. 0 is up, 1 is up and right, 2 is right, and so on... You can use If to check which angle it is and play a different walking animation.

    No I never had the need to do anything like this, but if I'm understanding this correctly, you want the image to clamp to the screen's boundaries when the image is larger than the screen. There's no built-in way to do this. The easiest thing I can think of is moving the image to the player every frame (Frame Event --> Move to Object) and then using the Clamp Value behavior. You can clamp the x and y position of the image as it moves and restrict it to a rectangular area. You would have to account for the dimensions of the image and the screen.

    @IAmPotat Hey, So you could use an attribute system to set when the player is in a certain direction. For example, create an attribute in an object’s menu settings called “Direction“. When the player is facing to the right (or doing anything that makes them face right) set the Direction to “Right”. If left for any reason, set it to “Left”. When you go to move the player, Get Attribute, and If attribute = Right, move the player in the positive X axis, and If attribute = Left, move player along the negative X axis. This is one of many ways. Behaviors Used Set Attribute Get Attribute If Move by

    There are a few major tentpole changes to hyperPad that are in the works. Once these are in place we'll be doing more of a focus on tutorials and documentation

    @MrAeon1111 There are two ways. Behaviors that don't have anything attached to the top are triggered when the scene starts. We call these root behaviors. You can have your Set Attribute behaviors be root behaviors. In the editor, you can define object attributes from the selected objects like shown in the screenshot below.

    @MrAeon1111 said in Kick action with physic: Hello, I just started a project and I would like to know if you can help me. I would like to be able to kick an object. Can you show me how to do that? I have just no clue what to use. Just a 2-D character walking down and kicking object with physics. Thank you very much Yes, you can do this in hyperPad. The idea is simple: make both the player and the object use physics, then apply a force to the object when the kick happens. 1. Make the objects use physics Select the object you want to kick. Add the behavior Make Physics. Do the same for the player character if you want realistic interaction. When an object is a physics object it reacts to gravity, collisions, and forces in the scene. Physics objects can collide with other physics or wall objects, which is what lets things be pushed or kicked. 2. Detect when the kick hits the object Add the behavior Collision Event to the player. Settings: Object A: Player Object B: The object you want to kick Event type: Started Colliding This behavior triggers when two objects start touching. 3. Apply force to simulate the kick After the Collision Event, add: Apply Force or Propel Object (from the Physics behaviors). Set: Object: the object being kicked Direction: left/right based on your character direction Strength: adjust until it feels right The hyperPad physics engine will handle the movement and collisions automatically. 4. Optional improvements You can tweak physics properties to change how the kick feels: Mass (heavier objects move less) Friction Bounce These can be changed with Set Physics Property. Let me know if this helps! You can learn all about this on the hyperPad documentation: https://documentation.hyperpad.com/hc/en-us

    Can you be more specific on how you cropped your image? hyperPad has a limited built in image editor that has a crop feature. You can import a graphic, then in the asset library press and hold to bring up the menu, and then select "Edit Graphic" then on the left hand side select the crop tool. If you used an app outside of hyperPad, make sure the image you cropped is saved, and you have imported it into hyperPad AFTER you have made any edits in what ever tool you're using.
