Mapping "Swipe Up To Down" and "Swipe Left To Right" not working

Has the simple “InputTouch” been removed from the engine entirely?? I keep seeing this solution, and it seems like a good one, but the only inputs I have are directly attached to objects. I have InputTouchBegin and InputTouchEnd, and they are all tied to objects. They ignore if you end your touch in empty space. If I touch my object and slide off the object, it never registers as an InputTouchEnd, so the object can only be swiped once. It never counts as an end! Has anyone messed with this since UE4 4.8 came out? I think this swipe method is dead now.
