How to detect if a pointer(mouse,joystick) is staying in "pressed" and not moving, using event trigger?
Hi Guys, I am trying to modify a joystick asset found on asset store for my mobile game. I really want to detect if the player is keeping his finger pressed on the joystick and not dragging it. I don't know how to implement this using event trigger. OnBeginDrag and OnEndDrag not working out for my project as OnEndDrag wont get called even if pointer is not moving as the pointer is held down . Attaching joystick code below.Please help. thanks in advance.
