How do I prevent multi-touch

Hi everyone,

I have a 'clicking counting' problem in which I want to prevent the use of multi-touch.

Basically I want the system to only count one touch at a time, not two touches if the user presses both fingers on the screen at the same time.

I know there is a way to do this using variables, but is this the best way?

The app is for mobile.

Thanks!

Use On Nth Touch Start (or End if that's your case) and set touch number to 0, instead of Any Touch Start (or End) to trigger the counting.

You can check an example at this URL:

(or read the code below with your phone if you don't want to type it)

And you can download the .capx here:

Hi brunopalermo,

your answer is spot on - thank you very much! I wish I could give you some 'rep' for such a good answer (the qr code was a lovely touch)!

Since you were so good with this problem would you consider thinking about this issue? I wouldn't usually cross post but this is a major headache for me.
