Hi guys,

I've discovered that when using the GetRawTouchCurrentX and GetRawTouchCurrentY commands on the iOS AppGameKit player v2.0.21, these commands appear to return zero co-ordinates no matter where I touch on the screen. The same test routine works just fine running under the Android AppGameKit player. Has this issue been resolved yet or should I be using an alternative method for obtaining touch co-ordinates?

Thanks.

Paul.

I'm posting again, because this issue still exists. Even with the new Jan 8th 2017 update for iOS, the AppGameKit Player is still failing to register the co-ordinates for the input commands. The following code exhibits this issue when you run the function on iOS AppGameKit Player, but works perfectly under Android. I don't know whether this is an issue for other platforms, but can it be looked into?



Thanks guys.

Paul.

The problem stems from this line in your code:



You are performing a modulus operand on the actual touch ID that is returned from GetRawFirstTouchEvent(1). This messes up all subsequent calls where you are checking against a specific ID but 'index' is assigned to whatever the remainder of touch ID / 20 is.

On iOS, the touch IDs are random numbers that can be as large as an integer supports. On Android they are generally 1, 2, 3, 4 etc. So in your code, the first iOS touch ID might be: 132207760 but you assign index to (132207760 % 20) which gives it a value of 0 (or some other low number). When you then call GetRawTouchCurrentX(index) you are trying to get the current X value of a touch ID that does not exist, due to your mod() operand on the index value. On Android it is only coincidental that this works as expected due to the touches being in chronological order from 1, and mod(1, 20) = 1 so it is still the same index.

P.S., General Tier 1 questions like this have more visibility if you post to the General AppGameKit Chat section, not many people lurk these other boards.

Hi xCept,

I was completely oblivious to the concept that an iOS device returns a different ID for the GetRawFirstTouchEvent and GetRawNextTouchEvent functions. I modified my input handler and it works great now. So thanks for pointing this out to me.
