Detect how long a tap is held
I am making a mobile game, and I need to figure out how long a tap is held. Can someone please help me?
also, if you can give me code to detect how long a tap is held and detect if it is a swipe up, tap, or swipe down, then I will give you 20 reputation.
@AndrewBilotti You can use something like event Trigger for that with the combination of StopWatch from System.Diagnostics . http://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/EventSystems.EventTrigger.html
Here is an example how you can detect tap duration.
Add EventTrigger Component on a GameObject where you want to detect the tap.
Add Event Types as Pointer down and Pointer Up.
Refer this to the respective public methods in following script.
using UnityEngine; using System.Collections; using System.Diagnostics;
public class TouchSystems : MonoBehaviour { Stopwatch stopwatch; void Start() { stopwatch = new Stopwatch(); } void Update() { } public void OnPointerUp() { stopwatch.Start(); } public void OnPointerDown() { stopwatch.Stop(); if (stopwatch.ElapsedMilliseconds > 20 * 1000) { //Do Something } else { //upto you } stopwatch.Reset(); } }

Wow... your quite the touch expert! just curious, why did you do '20 1000' ins$$anonymous$$d of 20000? This worked very well [no lag on my iPad!], and normal unity games make my iPad lag xD. $$anonymous$$uch better than using time.deltatime. Thanks for $$anonymous$$ching me how to use the stopwatch... now I don't have to use time. and reinventing the wheel. Do you, by any chance, also know how to detect if the tap is a swipe up, a tap, or a hold? If you could help me with that, then my game development would be ahead months :). It is so convenient when a pro gives me such a good answer!
Help! I did what you said to do, but it doesn't recognize the onpointerdown and on pointerup!
