Construct2 Doesn't Support Multitouch?

Hi,

I'm new with construct2. I'm trying to make games for iOS and Android OS. I'm using Tap object to make things work on mobile phone. But I realize that construct2 doesn't seems to support multitouch. Am I right? or there's a way to make it happen? or it's still on development for it's next release?

Sorry for my bad english,

Thanks in advance

Multitouch is not well supported atm and will be enhanced later in future releases.

Thanks for your fast response. Can't wait for the next update for this feature

The 'On object touched' and 'Is touching object' conditions do support multitouch, so you can make game controls using sprites and it will work well. However, the Android browser doesn't support multitouch! It should work fine on iOS, but Android probably won't work until the 'Ice Cream Sandwich' update, which is due some time in October I think.

Oh so that's way my game project doesn't work on my android. Thanks

Hey guys,

I am trying to do a multi touch game as well Ash you said use sprites but how would you do that with out the touch features?

Thanks

maxp010 - I don't understand what you are asking... you would use the Touch object to do that!

You said that 'On object touched' and 'Is touching object'do not support multi touch, is that problem fixed ?!

maxp010 - actually I said 'On object touched' and 'Is touching object' do support multitouch, they always have! The problem in this thread was that the Android 2.x browser itself does not support multitouch. It should be working fine on Android 4+ and iOS though.

My bad thank you

Ashley you should considering adding a condition to count the number of fingers on the screen (aka number of touches) there is a plugin that already do this it would be nice to have the official version ;.)

0plus1 I think you can do that yourself using a global variable and add +1 on touch start and -1 on touch end. C2 seems to be recording multitouch, but can't tell individual XY coordinates for these.

you can use Touch.X(num) to get the x value of a specific touch afaik. Same for other touch vars

The more you know.

Thanks

Not quite - check the manual entry for Touch. If you pass a number to the Touch.X or Touch.Y expressions, it's used as the layer number to get the co-ordinates for.
