THIS IS FOR AN RPG GAME I NEED HELP TO MAKE THE CONTROLS BETTER. HOW DO I IMPLEMENT KEYS OTHER THEN JUST THE BASIC MOVEMENTS? BUTTONS TKE UP TO MUCH SPACE AND ITS HARD MOVE AND CLICK BUTTONS AT THE SAME TIME. FEEL FREE TO MESS AROUND WITH THE SCRIPTS BUT PLS GIVE FEEDBACK

Here's a great tutorial on joysticks from Griffpatch.

I haven't seen this tutorial in a while, but I think it might be useful.

I don't have the time right now to give you feedback.
I'll likely have more time tomorrow, so I can look at the project then.

I hope this helped!
Let me know if you have any questions.

I already have seen this i am not using a joystick beacues it takes to much space and (not to be rude) the tutorial sucks.

Alright, that makes sense, I'll see what I can do tomorrow.
In the mean time, a description of what you want to happen would be nice.

i want it to be so the player can move around freely but use their ability in such a way that it does not feel difficult or hard to use/control

I don't really know of any way to make the controls better…
Scratch isn't the best for mobile controls.

Maybe you could do something like using the ability whenever the mouse is hovering over an enemy?
Sorry, I am not very helpful, I am not experienced with mobile.

You could make a smaller version of the joystick, with an added setting to make the placement of it on the screen adjustable. I am not entirely familiar with mobile controls either, but you might be able to find a way to have to joysticks in control of movement and actions: The left/right joystick could let the player move, and then the other joystick could activate one of a set number of controls when it is moved in a certain direction (eg. moving the joystick left would let the player pick up an item, while moving the joystick up would cause the player to attack in the direction they’re facing. Finding a tutorial on double joystick controls might help with this, because, like I said, I don’t personally have the code for this.

I made two different joystick control options that you can use without credit (if you do want joysticks). You did mention that you didn’t want joysticks to be needed, but using two, one for movement and one for actions, is my suggestion. (You don’t have to though)

buttons on the sides of the screen, maybe? if you need a joystick, replace it with arrow buttons like a d-pad

I try that but it stops player movement.
