Tap vs touch controls
I'm creating a movement script where the player must tap either the left or right side of the screen. Currently my script is working however I can simply hold my finger on the screen to move continuously in the respective direction. It shouldn't be allowed to happen. How can I change it so that it only registers a tap and not a touch/hold?
void Update()
{
if (Input.touchCount > 0)
{
var touch = Input.GetTouch(0);
float jumpVelocity = 3f;
if (touch.position.x < Screen.width / 2)
{
rigidbody2d.velocity = (Vector2.up * jumpVelocity) + (Vector2.left * jumpVelocity);
}
else if (touch.position.x > Screen.width / 2)
{
rigidbody2d.velocity = (Vector2.up * jumpVelocity) + (Vector2.right * jumpVelocity);
}
}
}
Hey @bobmcdonal . Every touch on screen has property called TouchPhase
you can know the phase of your touch by read its value . so simply do edit your code to this :
void Update()
{
if (Input.touchCount > 0)
{
var touch = Input.GetTouch(0);
switch (touch.phase)
{
//When a touch has first been detected record the starting position
case TouchPhase.Began:
// Record initial touch position.
var startPos = touch.position;
break;
//Determine if the touch is a moving touch
case TouchPhase.Moved:
// you dont need this one
break;
case TouchPhase.Ended:
// Report that the touch has ended when it ends
var endpos= touch.position;
if(startpos==endpos)
{
float jumpVelocity = 3f;
if (touch.position.x < Screen.width / 2)
{
rigidbody2d.velocity = (Vector2.up * jumpVelocity) +
(Vector2.left * jumpVelocity);
}
else if (touch.position.x > Screen.width / 2)
{
rigidbody2d.velocity = (Vector2.up * jumpVelocity) +
(Vector2.right * jumpVelocity);
}
}
break;
}
}
}
