Android Touch Issue

I have been googling this for a while, time to just ask. Basically I have this.

Code (CSharp):

1. Void FixedUpdate(){
2.     Foreach (Touch touch in Input.touch){
3.     if(touch.position.x > Screen.width/2 && !(touch.position.x < Screen.width/2)){
4.     //do this
5. }
6.  
7. if(!(touch.position.x > Screen.width/2) && touch.position.x < Screen.width/2){
8.     //do this
9. }
10.  
11. if(touch.position.x > Screen.width/2 && touch.position.x < Screen.width/2){
12.     //do this
13. }
14.  
15. }
16. }

Touching the left side of the screen works fine. Touching the right side of the screen works fine.

The problem is the 3rd option. When I touch both sides of the screen together I want a 3rs action to take place and I'm not getting it. Any idea what I'm doing wrong?

 

That won't work.
You would need to do something like this:

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. bool leftTouching = false, rightTouching = false;
3. float halfWidth = Screen.width * 0.5f;
4.  
5. foreach (Touch touch in Input.touches) {
6.     if (touch.position.x > halfWidth && !(touch.position.x < halfWidth)) {
7.         rightTouching = true;
8.     }
9.    
10.     if (!(touch.position.x > halfWidth) && touch.position.x < halfWidth) {
11.         leftTouching = true;
12.     }
13. }
14.  
15. if (leftTouching && rightTouching) {
16.     // Both sides being touched...
17. }

(Not tested)

 

Parallel post, so do what F14M...(for gods sake :-D ) said
In Addition: You were checking the same touch for being on left and right side of the screen.

 

Above answers are correct, also:

Code (CSharp):

1. if(touch.position.x > Screen.width/2 && !(touch.position.x < Screen.width/2)){
2.     //do this
3. }

why the && !touch part? If x is larger than half the screen width it can't also be smaller.

 

Thanks Yall.. Soon as I get off work I will make this happen. I appreciate the responses

 

Yes you're absolutely right. Thanks for pointing that out.

Hahaha, sorry about my name, I was much more immature back when I chose it 5 years ago

 

Just not happening for me.

To answer why I did the (&& !touch) .. In the event I was touching both sides of the screen I wanted all single actions to be halted.

Basically, I want these touch results..

Left screen only = rotate object counter clockwise

Right screen only = rotate clockwise

Left and right screen = no rotate, move forward.

It's odd. When I press left screen, I get the desired result. When I press right I get the desired result. When I press both, I don't get the (left && right) result, I instead get the output from just left and just right at the same time.

Thanks for the replys. I will keep working at it. If I figure out why none of the above seem to make a difference, I will post it

 

Ok... It took some doing, (damn beginners lol) … This may be completely the wrong way to go about it, but it works exactly as I needed. if anyone finds this thread and wants to know what worked for me, here is the code I ended up with. I wish I could remember where I found what lead me to getting it working so I could link straight to it. In any event here is what I ended up with. Again, thanks for your help. It is very appreciated!

Code (CSharp):

1.     //Handle Left And Right Screen Touches
2.         if (Input.touchCount == 1)
3.         {
4.             Touch touchZero = Input.GetTouch(0);
5.             Vector2 touchZeroPrevPos = touchZero.position - touchZero.deltaPosition;
6.  
7.             if (touchZeroPrevPos.x > halfScreen) {
8.                 //Do Right Event
9.             }
10.             if (touchZeroPrevPos.x < halfScreen) {
11.                 //Do Left Event
12.             }
13.         }
14.  
15.     //Handle Combination Left And Right Screen Touch
16.         if (Input.touchCount == 2)
17.         {
18.             Touch touchZero = Input.GetTouch(0);
19.             Touch touchOne = Input.GetTouch(1);
20.  
21.             Vector2 touchZeroPrevPos = touchZero.position - touchZero.deltaPosition;
22.             Vector2 touchOnePrevPos = touchOne.position - touchOne.deltaPosition;
23.  
24.             if ((touchZeroPrevPos.x > halfScreen && touchOnePrevPos.x < halfScreen) || (touchZeroPrevPos.x < halfScreen && touchOnePrevPos.x > halfScreen)) {
25.                 //Do Combination Event
26.             }
27.         }

 

Good to hear you got it working, although the above post by Flamethrower should work aswel. Not sure why you're subtracting the deltaposition either? you're not detecting a drag or anything are you?
