Dynamic Touchstick

The Dynaimc Touchstick can be used on Mobile or on the screen of a PC or Mac (see On-Screen Joystick). The standard Game Creator Touch-stick will will automatically appear when your game is built and deployed on a mobile device. To display the Dynamic Touch-stick, select Games Creator/Preferences from the top menu in Unity. Locate the AccessibilityTouchstick Prefab from the Accessibility/Prefab folder (AccessibilityTouchStick2), and drag to the Prefab Touchstick slot.

The Actions avaliable to you for the Dynamic Touchstick are as follows:

  • Show/Hide Touchstick

  • Move Touchstick (Left or Right)

  • Colour Touchstick

The Touchstick also has a TankCam effect that can be enabled from the Show TouchStick Action. This effect will keep the camera behind the player when the player is turning.

The Dynamic Touchstick can be placed on the left or the right. When the touchstick is on the left (default), the screen drag for rotating the camera is on the right. However, when the touchstick is moved to the right, the screen drag is automatically move to the left.

The Dynamic Touchstick will allow the player to walk and run depending on the amount of drag. It will also appear under the touch point on the left or the right of the screen.

This Action sets both vertial and horizontal sensitvity settings to the same value.
