Mouse click on object firing twice

I got an asteroid object with an instance variable of HitCount.

When clicked, the value will + 1 and also set the sprite to another frame

However I am also getting an event when releasing the mouse button, causing the HitCount to jump to 2 for a single click.

How can I prevent this? adding a click time interval check?

Just use Touch->On touched object. You don't need the mouse event. Touch handles the mouse by default.

However ( not sure if this is still the case ) I have run into issues with iFramed games. It would still fire twice even if using Touch only ( I gues it was registering touch and mouse at the same time )

So, the solution was to disable muse input for Touch and create separate Touch and Mouse groups, disabling one at the start depending on whether the first interaction was a touch or a click

Thanks, removing the mouse event worked.
