I want to setup a pinch to zoom input method for mobile devices, but the pinch axis always has the value 0.

This is my setup:

Now this always outputs 0.  
The Mouse Wheel Axis is working as expected.

I have also tried it with an event, but it doesn’t change anything.

Is this a bug in the Pinch Axis or am I missing something?

I am still having the same issue. Btw: This code is in my Pawn (if this information helps).

You need to check “Enable Gesture Recognizer” in your project setting(Engine-\>Input-\>Mobile).  
In this way i solved the same problem

I ran into a similar issue. Thanks for sharing this. I wasn’t aware of this.
