  • Hello,

    After many searches, I can't find the solution.

    When I'm on my mobile, if I click for a long time, the HTML5 game will be selected.

    I can't disable the selection when I click, is there a specific html code to add to prevent this selection?

    Thanks in advance !

  • Construct should block that internally. What kind of mobile device? iPhone or Android? What browser?

    From what I gather from googling there is some css to make something not selectable and/or some JavaScript to stop the default behavior in a touch input handler.

    I ask because I’m interested in the cause and solution myself. I haven’t had a chance to do any tests yet though. Overall I think that sounds like a bug or at least something that should be fixed. Have you tried filing an issue? It sounds easy to reproduce.

  • Hmmm, well this can be solved by the user-select css property according to my research. There are two variations of that to work with safari and internet explorer. I can't seem to find where this is used in C2 but I haven't looked too hard in C3. Could this be something that was overlooked? It probably should be reported.

    Anyways running this script at the start of the layout should fix it I think.

    c3canvas.style.webkitUserSelect=c3canvas.style.msUserSelect=c3canvas.style.userSelect="none";

    Edit:

    It's not an issue on pc best I can tell. I was able to test this on safari on ios and this does keep the canvas from being selected.

  • Hello,

    Thank you for your answers,

    I tried the code, unfortunately it did not work on my game.

    And when importing, using the "Advanced Minification" function, the code was broken.

    However I found the solution,

    I added the code below to avoid the selection of the canva (I based on your logic).

    canvas {
     -webkit-touch-callout: none;
     -webkit-user-select: none;
     -khtml-user-select: none;
     -moz-user-select: none;
     -ms-user-select: none;
     user-select: none;
     outline: none;
     -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); /* mobile webkit */
     } 
     body {
     -webkit-touch-callout: none;
     -webkit-user-select: none;
     -khtml-user-select: none;
     -moz-user-select: none;
     -ms-user-select: none;
     user-select: none;
     outline: none;
     -webkit-tap-highlight-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); /* mobile webkit */
     }
    

    body is added to avoid the selection around the game if it is not in full screen.

    Have a nice evening !

  • Cool, glad you got it working. I think you could possibly just use the body and the canvas will inherit the same stuff. Anyways I think that touch- callout may have been key.

  • You solved my problem as well. The only thing that confused me was where to put this. Thanks to both of you for figuring it out!

    I realised I had to make a 'Stylesheet' file and add your code to it.

  • I realised I had to make a 'Stylesheet' file

    Why not add the code to the game's existing style.css file?

  • Ashley Hi, Construct3 team!

    This problem is still relevant on iOS highlights the screen, have to change the styles file all the time after export.

    Please fix the style file.
