I agree as well. This would be a nice feature to add to the ScrollTo behavior.

I have the same issue, but I'm also using 'is touching'

Sigh, I wish there was consistency on this issue. The devs say not to 'waste' time optimizing and to 'develop for touch devices', but there isn't clear documentation or tutorials on the trickiness of handling multiple touches. Even worse is the fact that we MUST optimize if we're using touch controls, and there is little to no documentation on how to do this.

Yes, it's possible

Hate to bump an old thread, but you seem to have a working solution and there doesn't seem to be many solved topics on multiple object multi-touch.

Can you share the capx for this if you still have it?

TouchIDTest

Try this on a mobile device and let me know if you are getting any Touch IDs.

Ashley or Tom, give this a try. You'll see what I mean: if two simultaneous touches occur, both get the same TouchID.

Based on this thread here: http://www.scirra.com/FORUM/topic66471.html.

I'm trying to make it so that a different touch ID is assigned depending on where the user touches the screen. I have two large invisible sprites that each cover half the screen. You can see one of them here:

Does anyone know how to get a different touch ID based on where the user touches the screen?

CAPX File

I just tried this on a friend's tablet.

If only one touch is active: both TouchIDs = 0.

If two touches are active (simultaneous touches): both TouchIDs = 1.

So there's a problem here. TouchID is not being assigned unless two simultaneous touches are happening, and when that happens, both TouchIDs are the same.

50MBs of storage? The game download is 25MB.

Plus it can be cleared by clearing the cache.

The "How do I...?" forum is helpful and all, but a lot of the questions seem to be asked repeatedly by newer users of Construct 2. A lot of these questions are also answered repeatedly by various members of this forum.

Why not have a wiki? Could call it the Construct 2 Cookbook or something like that, where working solutions and .capx files are posted for various problems.

This would reduce the number of 'beginner' questions in this forum by a slight amount, and answers are not longer about answering things that have been answered multiple times and instead pointing to wiki links. Once a new user realizes there is a wiki, he/she will probably post less questions overall and refer to the wiki instead.

Hi newt,

Can you do me a favor and let me know if you're getting TouchIDs here?

Icarus

if (360 + Target.Angle - Player.Angle) % 360 > 180   .... CCW
else                                                 .... CW

Should work for any valid angles.

Thank you!

Yann, you didn't offend me, I'm just extraordinarily harsh when I get replies that seem to 'probe' and be less related to answering the question.

I think this might actually be a good add to the list of topics on the FAQ, but maybe better worded there because "Shortest rotation angle" can be kind of misleading.

TouchIDTest

Try this on a mobile device and let me know if you are getting any Touch IDs.

Should I export this to a live server and show the touch IDs not being assigned there?
