detect Swipe in four directions (android)
Hello I need to java script code that can detect four directions (up, down , right , left) swipe on screen and debug once when that is happen. I write some codes with delta position but never couldn't have result. thanks
Hello Guys i want to detect tap also with swipes i.e if i tap player jumps and if i swipe down player slides.??

Why don´t you check
float deltaX = deltaPosition.x;
float deltaY = deltaPosition.y;
float biggerDelta = (deltaX > deltaY) ? deltaX : deltaY;
int direction = Mathf.Sign (biggerDelta);
With that info you should be able to get it. At least that´s how I do it.
Edit: new script, same idea, it might need some tweak but I don´t see why it shoudn´t work.
using System.Collections;
public class MiniGestureRecognizer : MonoBehaviour {
public enum SwipeDirection{
Up,
Down,
Right,
Left
}
public static event Action<SwipeDirection> Swipe;
private bool swiping = false;
private bool eventSent = false;
private Vector2 lastPosition;
void Update () {
if (Input.touchCount == 0)
return;
if (Input.GetTouch(0).deltaPosition.sqrMagnitude != 0){
if (swiping == false){
swiping = true;
lastPosition = Input.GetTouch(0).position;
return;
}
else{
if (!eventSent) {
if (Swipe != null) {
Vector2 direction = Input.GetTouch(0).position - lastPosition;
if (Mathf.Abs(direction.x) > Mathf.Abs(direction.y)){
if (direction.x > 0)
Swipe(SwipeDirection.Right);
else
Swipe(SwipeDirection.Left);
}
else{
if (direction.y > 0)
Swipe(SwipeDirection.Up);
else
Swipe(SwipeDirection.Down);
}
eventSent = true;
}
}
}
}
else{
swiping = false;
eventSent = false;
}
}
}
I am sorry about the amount of ifs, I did this quite fast...
Why wont this code work for you and looking for additional answers? Although this code will only work if only one finger is moving on the screen because delta position will get zero if more than one finger moving on the screen
@ozturkcompany are you sure that deltaPosition will be zero? Usually I just use the input from the first touch and it doesn´t become zero.
I think your question answer is "yes" but I not tested it in other objects yet

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
public class SwipeDetector : MonoBehaviour
{
public float minSwipeDistY;
public float minSwipeDistX;
private Vector2 startPos;
void Update()
{
//#if UNITY_ANDROID
if (Input.touchCount > 0)
{
Touch touch = Input.touches[0];
switch (touch.phase)
{
case TouchPhase.Began:
startPos = touch.position;
break;
case TouchPhase.Ended:
float swipeDistVertical = (new Vector3(0, touch.position.y, 0) - new Vector3(0, startPos.y, 0)).magnitude;
if (swipeDistVertical > minSwipeDistY)
{
float swipeValue = Mathf.Sign(touch.position.y - startPos.y);
if (swipeValue > 0)//up swipe
//Jump ();
else if (swipeValue < 0)//down swipe
//Shrink ();
}
float swipeDistHorizontal = (new Vector3(touch.position.x,0, 0) - new Vector3(startPos.x, 0, 0)).magnitude;
if (swipeDistHorizontal > minSwipeDistX)
{
float swipeValue = Mathf.Sign(touch.position.x - startPos.x);
if (swipeValue > 0)//right swipe
//MoveRight ();
else if (swipeValue < 0)//left swipe
//MoveLeft ();
}
break;
}
}
}
}

This works to me: http://pfonseca.com/swipe-detection-on-unity/
This link appears to be malware, I would avoid clicking on it
Seems like the domain is sold, the site displays weird Chinese fap games. I had just stopped being so paranoid about the links I click but now I'm back on it.

I found this post http://rtvstudios.blogspot.com/2015/02/detecting-swipe-from-unity3d-c-scripts.html
It detects swipe in four direction and we can also control the swipe speed and angle for the swipe in four direction.

Hu guys, I wrote this simple tutorial wich is basically 7 lines of code and works like a charm. Easy and simple. You just have to use te build in Unity event system instead to write long and useless code. No need to use update or fixed update.
Hello. Can you reload script here
