Move Vector with mobile thumbstick

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I have seen how to get the mobile thumbstick on the forum but they talk about how to specifically get the direction of where they move it to like up, down, right, and left. I know that you use :

local GetMoveVector = require(player:WaitForChild("PlayerScripts").PlayerModule:WaitForChild("ControlModule")):GetMoveVector()

But How would I know if they moved it up or the other directions?

maybe compare the vector of the look vector of the camera to the vector the direction of the thumb stick. Another is to get the location where the thumbstick is (i am thinking like a table?) and compare it to see if it is going up or down

#3

How would I do this and how do I use a table?

#4

I tested it but it only prints the x and z how would this work on getting up, down directions?

#5

Got it to work but somehow when I stop moving you still keep flying the same direction. It won’t even print ended.

How would I stop it when I stop moving in the direction?
