Ultimate Touch Components v2 – swipe, pinch to zoom, virtual joysticks and much more

Ok, now I understand what’s wrong. Actually it wasn’t planned to use many pinch components in the same area. I couldn’t predict such use case. The only possible way to use many pinch components on the same screen is dividing it (screen) by player areas using Bounds (UTC components feature). For example one PinchComponent can use right part of screen and the second will use left part of screen.

But if you don’t want to define exact parts of screen per players you can try to use this hack (see the screenshot or copy-paste from UTC Pinch Components manual routing posted by anonymous | blueprintUE | PasteBin For Unreal Engine):

Unfortunately with this code other components will not work until you will update their events manuly like I did with pinch components on this screen. So please try this and let me know how it works.

Thank u for your answer … I cant add the cube mesh to the target of event touch … what Im doing wrong ? Could you tell me please how update the events ?. Thank U

Hello guys, im new here.
Im making a simcity-like game on mobile where you can pan the camera and touch an Actor to trigger an Event.
How do i make an exception when I want to pan camera not to touch an Actor because whenever I panning the camera and my finger touch (over) an Actor, an Event triggered.
Any suggestions?

It shouldn’t be cubes or any other objects/components! These functions are functions of UTC Components. See the sign “Target is UTCComponent”. Connect your pinch components with these functions as it shown on the screenshot.

Do you use UTC? Which components do you use to pan camera and touch objects?

Yes. I use SwipeToMove to panning the camera and for the touch object im using an Event directly from a Static Mesh, On Input Touch Begin/End.

Thnks for answer. Ok … I did the test, but the cubes do not move. Look at my Blueprint. When I did your solution, the “light links” Do not show movement on other components Like on image 2. But using the UTC Touch Input Manager (Image 3), show “Light links” conexion between BP.

For the target of touch components, I did this: (Image 4) Is this right ?

Please tell me what I´m doing wrong. Thnks !

Hi, does anyone know how to use double tap without triggering the single tap? Thanks

Hello, is there any easy way to invert Zoom (by pinching)? I Have no idea how to do it. Basically I need to move camera further when fingers get closer. Any ideas?

I am following the tutorial on youtube, trying my by for the widget to appear (the debug one does, but never the widget). I keep getting this error and I don’t know what to do with it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi…
I’m sure these components can be used somehow to force the camera to orbit around an object and make zoom in / out …!!?
The only tutorial video was using the (Third person character) only, I believe another tutorial video covering adding these components to Actors ( such as A Camera as in my case) would be helpful & encouraging developers to buy…
Thank you

There is no need in tutorial, there is an example of such thing. Just open example scenes ans look how it was made. Or just copy/paste to your project.

Your widget should be derived from IUTCWidgetInterface and implement its functions. This message literaly says it. Also it was covered in one of tutorial videos.

It was answered many times before) Just multiply output value from pinch to zoom event by minus one.

Hi man, sorry for unanswered question. I didn’t receive notifications from forum thread. Hope you found solution.

I’d also like to know. I’m trying to isolate touch types.

Hello lucasca!
Sorry for missing your message.

1. It’s very easy. Look at showcase map. There are two pinch to zoom examples and one of them is inverted. So you can see how to do this;
2. If I right understand to you, you want to snap your camera smoothly to its initial position after moving it. It’s also easy to do - just save your camera rotation and postion when you just pressing joystick (OnJoystickPressed event) and after moving your camera and releasing joystick (OnJoytickReleased) in Event Tick check if current rotation and postion are not equal to initial then use Interp function to move your camera smoothly to saved postion and rotation. It should work for you. Let me know if you still have questions.

Good luck!

Hello, I tried the inverted option, but if i toggle off the clamped flag it works, but then when I zoom again it inverts it, and then again, it becomes a sort of flip flop of the inverting

Hello,

I just recently purchased your tools to use in a project I am working on. I want to have 4 Joysticks to control multiple things, however I can’t seem to use more than one stick at a time.

I have seen in earlier post (dating back to 2016) about clicking an Is Focusable, however I do not see this option anywhere.

Is there something I am missing that would make me be able to use 4 Joysticks for one Actor. Like Move, Aim, special Aim 1 and Special Aim 2.

I am eventually planning on adding a 5th one, but I need to resolve this first.

I would appreciate any advice that you can offer me on this.

Thanks
