Hey there @Heladoodle! So it’s dependent on how your movement is set up. If your joysticks are widgets and have isFocusable on, they will receive focus and nothing will happen while you have them down. The built in joysticks do allow other input, however you would still have to preprocess the touch input and account for it when making your movement decisions.
