hey, I was wondering what the touch count attribute reads and what the % function is used for and how you use it.
Thanks,

ok thanks, but I was wondering about the "Touch Count" attribute, not the touch position. Do you know?

I know, let me explain that one a little better than lol. So the device can register up to 9 fingers on the screen at once. So the 5th finger I put on the screen's position can be used by going into devices->touches->touch 1.x and or y. The devices->touches->count is the number of fingers on the screen.

the touch attribute is the location of the users finger on the screen in pixels

the % is called the modulus operator and returns the left over part of the division. Example: 5%2 is 0.5.

Mate I can explain, Skype me

The ^ is power symbol. For example 4^2 is 14 (4 times 4). The * is multiplication. And that's pretty much it

Its exactly what the symbols represent. Exponent, add, subtract, multiply, and divide.

You can view all the other functions in the expression editor here:

touch count tells you how many fingers are on the screen at the same time.

Lol *sigh* i was asking if there were any others than those, not for an explanation, but thanks for the attempt. Anyway are there any other functions we can enter besides those?

theCodeMonsters

Yeah but I mean there bunches, the ones you asked about are probably the biggest ones
