Mobile Touch, Swipe, Tap & Dbl Tap! Get it here... for free ;)

from the quick little test that I have done, on the InputTouch::Pressed node, you could put a timer that if it reaches a certain amount of time and that you still have your finger on scree, do a certain action. As far as setting up the timer, that’s up to you.

But it does seem feasable since I was able to make it print a string for as long as I had my finger pressed on the screen.

Hi everyone,

After searching around and picking here and there from posts and tutorials that I’ve seen, I’ve setup a simple blueprint to detect Touch on mobile/tablet devices.

It will detect:

• Swipe (left, right, up and down)
• Tap
• Double Tap

Particularity of the script: (Of course, you can change this to whatever.)

• With a swipe left or right the Player will run continuously until a tap is done to stop the player. So you just swipe once and it will run and run…
• Jump’s while idle or running by swiping up.
• Tap anywhere and the Player will stop and if he is stopped… well nothing!
• Double tap and the player will fire while running or while in idle.

Basically, I do it in two steps: First, I detect the desired action and secondly, I execute the desired action.

This script as been adapted for a sidescroller game (3D or 2D). This means that the player will not rotate when changing direction, it will only flip even for a 3D character. But with some tweaking, I guess you can adapt it to what you want.

Ok so first, you have to setup two enumerators.

• 1 For **Actions **(Run, Jump, Idle, Stop, Fire, etc.)
• 1 For **Direction **(left, right, face, tap) (face = facing direction)

Then you setup your Character blueprint…

How it works:

• First, through the **InputTouch **event, I determine the Touch and release action. from there, I calculate the distance between both. If the distance if far enough (You can change it to what you want!), it’s a swipe. Otherwise, it’s a tap.
• For the Tap, I then detect if it’s a single tap or a double tap. Once that is done, I assign an action and a direction to it.
• For the Swipe, I then detect if it’s a horizontal swipe or a vertical one. Once that is done, I determine the direction of the swipe and assign it an action and a direction to it.
• End of that part.
• Through the Tick event, I execute the action and adjust the direction accordingly.

Notice that before I assign a “new” action to a movement, I assign the already “done” action to a previousAction variable. I do this so that after jumping or shooting, our player can know what to do. Otherwise it would just stop after performing the fire and jump action.

The fire action is still a WIP and as another freebie (Yes I’m generous :-P) I’ve included, but not connected, some nodes that can detect what you’ve tapped on based on their tags (can be modified to mesh name, etc.). You just need to connect the Print String node for it to work. You will also notice that there’s one node for the mouse and one for the finger. When you debug, you connect the mouse one, like it is now. And when you send to your mobile, you connect the finger one.

Don’t forget to create your Enums before configuring your Character blueprint.

Hi

Please help me for rotate the object , with Touch

Rotate the object with the touch

Thanks.

[maparizeau]

hi Hamedudk

from what I can understand from the post that you have linked in your comment, you want an object to rotate when you swipe left or right?

Easy, in the tick event, instead of Add Movement Input, you would replace that with a rotation node. As for which one, you will have to explore that one.

Now don’t forget, this script, in the screenshots, is attached to the character blueprint. so make sure that you, either put this on the actor in question or that you specify what as to be turned.

thanks a lot mate it help a lot , and i wish one day you can make for us a tutorial on youtube which is a lot easier .

[maparizeau]

thanks for the comment.

I will look into that and try to find a spot in my busy schedule.

Wow. This is a very generous resource.

How would you integrate holding touch screen down with your current configuration??

Thank you.

Thank you.

It’s my pleasure. As for your question, it will depend on what you are trying to achieve. If you look at the InputTouch node, everything that has do with a press - finger touching the screen, holding down, etc, is handle on the Pressed option. And everything that has to do with removing your finger, not touching the screen, etc. has to do with the Release option. So, what are trying to do exactly?

Hi mhnomi,

Sorry for the delay, I’ve been very busy and honestly, I kind of forgot about you request. Now I didn’t do a video tutorial on YouTube. But I did put it up on my website. Which seems to be easier to follow and/or read. So hope this helps in the meantime

Thank you for advice.

I wanted to differentiate tap(time between touch and untouch is very short) vs hold then release(time between touch and untouch is longer, like .6 seconds.)

I found this in other thread on the forum

&d=1430674383

I was wondering how to safely integrate.
