Touched moving

Questions
1

When touching and dragging this guy I thought it would work but it allows me to drag two directions only and not the other two.

Anything obvious I’m missing?


function Kid:touched(touch)
    -- Codea does not automatically call this method
    if touchInRect(touch.x,touch.y,self.x,self.y,self.w,self.h) then
        if touch.state == BEGAN then
          --  sound()
            print("you did it!")
        end
        
        if touch.state == MOVING then
            if self.movable then 
                self.x = touch.x
                self.y = touch.y
            end      
        end 
            
    end
    
end

Which directions can you drag? You wouldnt, by chance have a translate hidden down in touchInRect? And just as a double check, your draw function for Kid does have self.x, self.y?

Up and right. I do have self.x and self.y. Is that bad?

Kid = class()

function Kid:init(name,x,y,w,h,layer)
    -- you can accept and set parameters here
    self.x = x
    self.y = y
    self.w = w
    self.h = h
    self.name = name
    self.movable = true
    self.layer = layer
end

function Kid:draw()
    -- Codea does not automatically call this method
    sprite(self.name,self.x,self.y,self.w,self.h)
    
end

function Kid:touched(touch)
    -- Codea does not automatically call this method
    if touchInRect(touch.x,touch.y,self.x,self.y,self.w,self.h) then
        if touch.state == BEGAN then
          --  sound()
            print("you did it!")
        end
        
        if touch.state == MOVING then
            if self.movable then 
                self.x = touch.x
                self.y = touch.y
            end      
        end 
            
    end
    
end

function touchInRect(tX, tY, x, y, w, h)
    if tX >= x and tX <= x + w and tY >= y and tY <= y + h then
        return true
    else
        return false
    end
end

It’s the if statement inside of touchInRect, I believe. Looks like it’s filtering out any touches left or below the current position. It’s only accepting touches within the object width, all of them right and above the current spot.

Are x,y left most and top?

I took it out and it works so I must have some math wrong. I need it to identify what object to move.

Got it:

Kid = class()

function Kid:init(name,x,y,w,h,layer)
    -- you can accept and set parameters here
    self.x = x
    self.y = y
    self.w = w
    self.h = h
    self.name = name
    self.movable = true
    self.layer = layer
    self.domove = false
   -- watch("self.domove")
    self.pos = vec2(x,y)
    self.position = vec2(x,y)
end

function Kid:draw()
    -- Codea does not automatically call this method
    sprite(self.name,self.x,self.y,self.w,self.h)
    
end

function Kid:touched(touch)
    -- Codea does not automatically call this method
    if touchInRect(touch.x,touch.y,self:left(),self:top(),self:right(),self:bottom()) then
       
     --   if touch.state == MOVING then
            if self.movable then 
               -- if self.domove then
                self.x = touch.x
                self.y = touch.y
                self.position = vec2(self.x,self.y)
                --end
            end      
     --   end 
   
        return true
    end 
        
    --print(self.domove)
end

function Kid:center()
    return vec2(self.position.x, self.position.y + self.height / 2)
end

function Kid:left()
    return self.position.x - self:halfwidth()
end

function Kid:right()
    return self.position.x + self:halfwidth()
end

function Kid:top()
    return self.position.y + self.h * 1.5
end

function Kid:bottom()
    return self.position.y - self.h *1.5
end


function Kid:halfwidth()
    return self.w / 2
end



function touchInRect(tX, tY, l, t, r, b)
   -- print("tx"..tX)
   -- print(l)
   -- print(r)
   -- print(tY)
   -- print(t)
   -- print(b)
    if tX >= l and tX <=r and tY >= b and tY <= t then
       -- print("true")
        return true
    else
        return false
    end
end
