How to detect when someone flicks a joystick (Moves it in a direction then let go)

You can write your topic however you want, but you need to answer these questions:

  1. What do you want to achieve? I want to be able to fire an event when a player flicks a joystick in a certain direction instead of just holding it.

  2. What is the issue? I’m confused on how to even process this

  3. What solutions have you tried so far? Did you look for solutions on the Developer Hub?
    I have looked on the Developer hub however it seems that nobody else is having this issue

After that, you should include more details if you have any. Try to make your topic as descriptive as possible, so that it’s easier for people to help you!
I’m trying to make a control system based on the Ape Escape games.

Please do not ask people to write entire scripts or design entire systems for you. If you can’t answer the three questions above, you should probably pick a different category.

So, if you want to detect if a player moves his mouse in 2 dimensions on screen, the topic I’m referring to should help you.
