[CTP, Beta] zBreak

[ZuneMan4]

How do I get those lines to go in the right spot?

Edit
I get a whole bunch of errors when I copy and paste.

edit2
maybe you could upload a zip file with the new code. that way we will know that it was done correctly.

I think i found it(hopefully)
ctrl+F to find this

if (pPosition.X < 1)

Replace 1 with 0

Just redownload my originial v. 0.0.9ts and replace this so that nothing else will be changed

[ZuneMan4]

alright, so here is what happened. You can use the touch to move the paddle left. You cannot use touch to move it right. But you can click to move the paddle right.

[LedZepp]

Try replacing the bolded values with -3.0f

pPosition.X += MathHelper.Min(GamePad.GetState(PlayerIndex.One).T humbSticks.Left.X * 3.0f, 3.0f);
if (!gameStarted)
bPosition.X += MathHelper.Min(GamePad.GetState(PlayerIndex.One).T humbSticks.Left.X * 3.0f, 3.0f);

And if that doesnt work ill upload something a bit more complex

[ZuneMan4]

Should I keep that 0 that we just changed?

[LedZepp]

Yes keep it, otherwise it will get stuck again

[ZuneMan4]

Sorry, should we still have the 2.0f?

[LedZepp]

Doesnt matter just change the second values to be negative of the first

[ZuneMan4]

Now the paddle just moves left all by its self. Anything else quick, otherwise I got to go and you can leave me a PM.

I replaced the touch code in the new version of zbreak with my tried and tested code.
It works pretty well for me.
Also included is a custom game thumbnail.

Newer version available

Thanks MehStrongBadMeh, Do you know what was wrong with my code?

[MehStrongBadMeh]

Your welcome,
and Yes, actually I do know what was wrong.

In your code you specify

if (GamePad.GetState(PlayerIndex.One).ThumbSticks.Left.X > 0)

which refers to touching a position on the right of the touchpad.

But then an "else" is placed which refers to anything but touching the right side of the touchpad. This includes not touching the touch pad at all.

To properly use this code you have to use

else if (GamePad.GetState(PlayerIndex.One).ThumbSticks.Left.X < 0)

instead of "else"

But this coding is unnecessary as my code is bidirectional.

[LedZepp]

Well if i was looking right, i had the exact same code as you(besides that if statement, which i added when ZuneMan said the paddle would only move left)

[MehStrongBadMeh]

That if statement is the only thing wrong. The rest of the code matches my zbreak008 mod's code with the addition of the pad size variable.

It is odd that it would only move left as it would be more likely to only move right if the code was wrong.

You could try using my suggestion for your code in my previous post.

Hey MehStrongBadMeh,
That ummmm Custom game thumbnail...
Well I don't think you ever put it in.
It's still the default XNA game symbol.

[LedZepp]

I dont have a 2nd Gen zune to test this with, thats why i didnt know if my code worked or not
