How to Make Swipe Mechanic

How do I...?

How can I make a swipe mechanic in GDevelop? I’d like to make a character to go in the direction that the player has swiped in.

I think you would want to use a multitouch condition. Something like this maybe?

If touch has started { set Variable(swipe_start) to touch.X() }
If touch has ended { set Variable(swipe_end) to touch.X() }
if swipe_start > swipe_end {swipe right events}
if swipe_start < swipe_end {swipe left evens}

Instead of using touch started or ended, use mouse button pressed or released. And instead Touch X and Y, use Mouse X and Y position.
