I have the basics for a game but I don’t know how to make the mobile joy stick stop moving one way when touching the outside of the ring but still be able to move back to another position.Game…

Hi Avocado_Games,

Here's a very nice sample I turned up with a search:

Note, in (the poorly named) “Sprite1”, it isn't draggable. The magic happens through an offset costume and directions.

If there's anything in their example that doesn't make sense, just ask.

Thanks!

I see you just edited your last comment.

I made a remix, changing the example to show “change x,y” movement (versus “direction+move” movement). As I say in the code comment, you'll probably need to reverse the speed multiplier for scrolling.

I can’t seem to find the right position to put circle. When I move it around it doesn’t touch the edge on some parts when on others it does. I’ve checked and they’re both perfect circles. What am I doing wrong?

You centered the outside circle at x = -173, but inside the script for the inner circle, you have it going to x = -172. Change those to be the same and they'll look right.
