I am curious if anyone knows how to setup touch events for left side of screen and right of screen?

Is there a function… or do I need to setup a hit box somehow.  
Thanks

Well better late than never right? I just had to figure this out for my prototype. It reacts to first finger touches on the bottom 1/3 of the screen, so you’d just want to instead check the x/width ratio for left/right touches.
