Forums » Help » Entity Follows Finger/Mouse

How would you go about linking an entity to follow the mouse or finger( on mobile )?
What would I need to do?

During the entity's update method, check ig.input.mouse.x and ig.input.mouse.y and update this.pos.x and this.pos.y. More information can be found in the manual for these things.

Does a touch register equally as a mouse input?

Check the docs on the Input class, and the ones about iOSImpact. IIRC it's all there.

yes, but theres some skullduggery in iosimpact, search is your friend.

Yes, basically a single touch does respond through the mouse input. Multi-touch... not so much, though there are plugins that do handle multi-touch should you really need it. It's actually better to avoid it if possible knowing that it is actually sort of buggy on iOS.

i wasnt getting accurate mouse inputs on iosimpact using

  if (ig.input.state('mouseLeft')) {
    ig.game.spawnEntity( FireGib, ig.input.mouse.x,ig.input.mouse.y );
   
    }

Yes, but were you using multi-touch?
