thank you. You’re the best 
Is it possible to be touching on both sides and still work so I can use the other half of the screen?
Sorry I wasn’t clear. I would like to use the other side for shooting and not moving but if I move my finger from the left side to right the player infinately moves. sorry my bad
if t.x < WIDTH / 2 then
if t.state == BEGAN then
x = t.x
y = t.y
tx = x
ty = y
move = true
elseif t.state == MOVING then
tx = t.x
ty = t.y
move = true
elseif t.state == ENDED then
x,y = 0, 0
tx, ty = 0,0
move = false
end
elseif t.x > WIDTH / 2 then
x,y = 0,0
tx,ty = 0,0
local currentx = t.x
local currenty = t.y
local id = t.id
if t.state == BEGAN then
swipex = currentx
swipey = currenty
swipeid = id
elseif t.state == ENDED and id == swipeid then
swipeid = nil
dx = 0
dy = 0
if swipey - currenty > 75 then
print 'down'
dy = -1
elseif currenty- swipey > 75 then
print "up"
dy = 1
elseif swipex - currentx > 75 then
print "left"
dx = -1
elseif currentx - swipex > 75 then
print "right"
dx = 1
end
if dx ~= 0 or dy ~= 0 then
table.insert(bullets, vec4(sx, sy, dx, dy))
end
end
@compactbear I changed the code above to stop at half the screen. As for shooting, where are the bullets coming from.
the sprite, This is just a filler and I am still working with it
For now its the sprites x y
