Useful Mobile Game Controls To Learn - GDevelop

The best engine I've ever seen...

[@youtubewatcher6124]

It's been so long since I watched your videos, this is what I've been waiting for Mobile Controls

[@ianfawknotson1800]

YES, I'm currently trying to make a game for moblie devices

[@GDevelopApp]

A lot of people are, so I wanted to make this quick video to highlight some of the options available for people looking to create a game. It doesn't go over everything though, there are even conditions for your mobile device's motion and orientation, so you can even tilt your phone to control things in your game. But those are hard to demonstrate on a laptop. 😅 -Wesley

​@@GDevelopApp Bro how I can make menu work with​ touch

[@cc3374K]

Let me know when it's released

[@Engineering__Softcodes]

Thank You very much for the tutorial, that was very helpful.

[@GDevelopApp]

Glad we can help. 👍 -Wesley

[@cjxander9205]

Thanks for telling me how to make a joystick. I spent 5 minutes figuring out how to get a joystick asset, let alone make it work.

[@raymondcahyadi3094]

Same situation here lol😂

[@therubbermeep7456]

Yay! im having issues with the touch controls with the physics player jumping odd I hope that is in this !!

[@GDevelopApp]

This video is more about the inputs, not the result. If you're having trouble with your game though, please try reaching out the community on the GDevelop discord server in the help channels. Someone might immediately know how to solve your issue if they see your events. -Wesley

[@MetalSonicReject]

This was an excellent tutorial. Helped me get a better understanding of how programming works in events. I’ve got two questions for touch controls. 1) Is there any way to make the control stick transparent? I couldn’t find that option in the event database. 2) Some mobile games have the control sticks pop up in designated areas of the touchscreen-or just the whole screen, depending on the game-when the device detects a touch. Is there any way to program a designated area for a control stick to appear when the touchscreen detects a touch input? If so, how do I do it?

[@adammortonmusic]

Great video! Could there be a tutorial on adaptive / interactive music in Gdevelop? I've tried integrating with Wwise but haven't had any luck. Wondering what tips or tricks there could be already built in that I haven't found yet.

[@luckythespacecat]

I believe there is a extension somewhere (Not in GDevelop) Of that

[@adammortonmusic]

@@luckythespacecat Ah thanks! I hadn't come across anything before but I can try looking again.

[@sirgerito]

I just released a game on mobile and I used the mobile control tutorial for it

[@faithfultennysonidama6904]

am new to Gdevelop and i must say its a great app am currently working on a mobile topdown game but am having issues with the rotation of my character am using the "Rotate" action to change my player angle but i dont know how to use the joystick control to control the player angle am already using the topdown joystick behavour to control the character movement now i want the character to rotate along with the direction of the movement

[@jeanswart5559]

Great work guys. How about a Fire Emblem or Advanced wars like thing? That would be dope!

[@Volt-Eye.]

Gdevelop is awesome.

[@MaxMustermann-vn8du]

i would love to see a video about mobile resolutions, i already read a bit about it in the forums and now that there is no ultimate solution but rather a couple dozens ways to do it depending on what u want to achieve, but i dont really get those explanations :D

[@theofficialdanielshowchannel]

what if the mobile device screen is bigger than the game canvas? (or whatever it’s called)

[@LDEV-l3p]

Hello, Very good tutorial, thank you! I encountered a problem: my game runs on an Android phone, but I often accidentally touch the back button, which causes the game to exit. I need to intercept the back button and prompt the user to confirm if they want to exit. I couldn't find a method. Can you help me, please? Thank you.

[@Lionhat-007]

Multitouch joystick that change its position with the position of the touch?

[@user-zl1yz1sl9v]

Hello, can you explain how I do it online 😥😥😥 in gdevelop?

[@Volt-Eye.]

What do u wanna do ?

[@user-zl1yz1sl9v]

@@Volt-Eye. An adventure game that my friend and I play

[@Volt-Eye.]

@@user-zl1yz1sl9v it is called Multiplayer game. And yes this can be easily done in Gdevelop. Gdevelop has in built features for this. There is also something for multiplayer called THNK ( for advance features i guess ) which you can also use.

text input still doesn't work good on iphone devices, it automatically zooms in the game and the user cannot zoom out

[@некого-г8ъ]

is there any way to add Ads from Different networks instead of AdMob to GD?

[@Valt_Productions]

is there a way to detect the device? Like the game would detecte touch screen inputs and show virtual joysticks but if it detects key board or mouse inputs it hides the virtual joysticks. Also i don't just want to make a different copy of the game built for mobile and an other for pcs because i have a touch screen windows 11 and it would be cool to play my game with touch screens on my laptop.

[@GDevelopApp]

There are conditions to check for a touch screen or if the game is being played on a mobile device. A number of our game examples have mobile controls that show up on screen when played on a mobile device, but are removed if it's not being played on a mobile device. Hope that helps. 👍 -Wesley

[@Valt_Productions]

@@GDevelopApp Thank you

[@O-hb4jk]

3d mobile controls too?

[@GDevelopApp]

No, but you can see how first person camera controls with a mobile device works if you check out the example "3D first person". It's in the example list in engine. 👍 -Wesley
