How Do I do multitouch in a game?

gmedina.172

I have a game that if you touch it, the actor will destroy but the thing is that a lot of actors appear and it takes a while to destroy them with one hand, how do I activate multitouch, and change the landscape so when you turn your ipod to the side it will just adjust automatically

question 1: under the device attributes there a attribute called touch count. Use that for multi touch. So if you wanted to do somethign when theres 2 fingers on the screen you would put in a rule when touch count=2

question2: go into the scene attribute and youll see autorotate. check whatver orientations you want to be able to rotate to

but how do I apply the rule? can you give me an example or something i found the devices attribute and i put it the count in two how do I make that to destroy the actors with multitouching?

Rule: when attribute touch.count=2
-destroy actor

its a simple as that.

If you want it to only destroy the actor your touching do

Rule: When touch is pressed AND attribute touch.count=2
-destroy actor

hope that helps

I have a last question! I did what you told me, but when I try to click one it doesnt destroy do you think I should put when Game touches is greater or equal to 1 destroy?

no john, i think he just wants to kill lost of things on the screen but with both thumbs. and sometimes he has 1 thumb down so the other will not register because its a touch 2 and touch 1 already is down.

you wil need to set up a multi touch system.

i made a demo file if you want o email me.

cheers

hey i solved my multitouch problem you just have to make a rule
IF actor receives event (touch) AND attribute game.touch.count is greater or equal to 1
Destroy actor, that shall work fine, just remember to have your touch count attribute more than 2

I have anoother question, my touch sensitivity is very bad if you make a light tap it wont destroy the actor any idea how to fix that? ( make a light tap to destroy actor)

I don't think the touch screen has pressure sensitivity.
