[RELEASED] EASY TOUCH V2.0 : Solution for touchscreen mouse

HI

Click here for a web player demo

EasyTouch allow you to quickly and easily develop actions based on a touchscreen or a mouse .

All major gestures are recognized such as touch, tap, double tape, twist, pinch.. and much more.

EasyTouch allows automatic detection of all gameobjects with collider on collision layers that you can set, To allow easy handling of the various elements that make up your scene

EasyTouch 2.0 is written in C# , it notifies you of an action on the touch screen or with mouse by events. The events are sent by delegate system for C # or internal messaging function of Unity (SendMessage) for Javascript developers.

Each event passes a parameter class, with all the informations about the current action (position, angle, picked object ...)

EasyTouch simulates the second finger when you press the ALT or CTRL key, an orange circle appears on the screen to the simulated position.
ALT => For twist or pinch gesture
CTRL => For swipe or drag gesture

Hey man thanks I'm going to check it out tonight. I was sort of sad that you ditched JS in this version, I'm more comfortable with it hehe.

 

Hi,

Many users have asked me for a C # migration, but I kept ease of use for javascript developer. You just need to place the plugins directory to the root of your project select Broadcast message in the inspector. Everything else is as before

Warning there are also multiple management layer.

I hope that you will appreciate as the javascript version

 

Is there any documentation for javascript users?

 

Hi,

In the documentation, there is how to use Easy Touch with C# or Javascript (And the difference between the two)

I just tell to Maiko how to do in case he had not yet read the new docuementation.

 

Can you sell another version of easy touch that is readily integrated with first person character controller?
So that user can move by mouse instead of using A+S+D+W maybe by 2 clicks, hold and drag, pinch etc?

 

There is a simple example of a freecamera with EasyTouch.

For a FPS controler, the better is an joystick .I had the idea to build an extension to EasyTouch, which include several games controlers, easily integrable.
but with EasyTouch you have everything you need to write these controler.

For the moment I do not know yet if I will do it.

 

im not really good on unity programming so it will help if you sell another integration between EasyTouch and controller

 

Hey, I just bought easytouch from asset store. However I need easyjoystick script. it is not in the easytouch folders. Please help me .

 

Hi,

I'm not referring to Easy Joystick in the description of package EasyTouch. EasyJoystick isn't releasead yet, it's still in developpement ....

Coming soon....

Hi,

There are two forum entry about Easytouch (it's my fault), the official post is :
http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/135192-RELEASED-Easy-Touch

Nicolas

 

I recently purchased Easy Touch, and I'm super happy with it, but I'm running into a problem with multiple states being called...

Right before EasyTouch registers Pinching, it calls On_SimpleTap2Fingers.

This is a problem because in my game two-finger tap does something I don't want to happen when the user pinches.

Also On_SimpleTap is called twice when tapping with two fingers... so if you tapped with two it would call both On_SimpleTap twice AND On_SimpleTap2Fingers (which I had to solve by using if EasyTouch.GetTouchCount() == 1)

I'd love for every one of these functions to be separate states, and not to be called simultaneously. Is there something that can be done to fix this? Or at least in my specific case?

Thanks, I really do love this plugin and want to see it get even better!

 

Hi,

For the event On_SimpleTap2Fingers I look, because it seems strange to me, there may be a bug ... I would inform you that I found the problem.

But that EasyTouch sends events on each button it is wanted, and your test is what to do. I could add a parameter which prohibits the sending indivuel event for a 2-finger gesture. But this feature is used very useful to be able to intercept each events during a multi-finger gesture

You use C # or Javascript?

 

Thanks for the quick reply!

I'm using C#.

Ohh okay, I will keep using if EasyTouch.GetTouchCount() == 1 for SimpleTap, I can see now how that would be needed for buttons etc.

 

Hi,

You can use this : gesture.touchCount ==1, look at Gesture class documentation. It's the class as passed as parameter in each event.

 

Hi,

I found the problem, it comes from the tolerance zone. If you swipe too fast and it is still in the area.

I'll fix it in the next version, which incorporates EasyJoystick (in few weeks). In the meantime if you have a lot of problem with this, send me an email on the address The.Hedgehog.Team @ gmail.com with your invoice number.

 

Hi, i'm having an issue and i'm not sure how to overcome this. Basically my game is a joystick on the left, and a button / action area on the right. One of my actions is a swipe, and when the joystick is the first finger down, the second finger swiping is ignored. Is there a way to determine swipes of a second finger?

 

Hi,

First, do you use Javascript or C# ?

Easytouch manages each touch individually, so you can have a swipe on different finger at the same time, and I have to redo the test case, and it's work ...

In the method of On_Swipe, you can use the member fingerIndex of the classe gesture which is passed as parameter, to know which what finger is in action. And the member touchcount to know how many touches are on.

If you wish to treatment swipe on several fingers at the same time, you must identify each finger; and manage n the swipe method on the index finger

 

I'm using c#. No matter how many fingers i have swiping, in the method On_Swipe, the gesture.fingerIndex always returns a 0, and never sees any swipes past that.

 

It is very strange, it works very well for me. I'll give you an example. Allow me a few minutes to do so.

 

Me again

You can download HERE a simple demo with multi swipe.

This example draws trails under each finger ...



The source code

Code (csharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3.  
4. public class Swipe1 : MonoBehaviour {
5.  
6.     private GameObject[] trail= new GameObject[10];
7.    
8.     // Subscribe to events
9.     void OnEnable(){
10.         EasyTouch.On_SwipeStart += On_SwipeStart;
11.         EasyTouch.On_Swipe += On_Swipe;
12.         EasyTouch.On_SwipeEnd += On_SwipeEnd;      
13.     }
14.  
15.     void OnDisable(){
16.         UnsubscribeEvent();
17.        
18.     }
19.    
20.     void OnDestroy(){
21.         UnsubscribeEvent();
22.     }
23.    
24.     void UnsubscribeEvent(){
25.         EasyTouch.On_SwipeStart -= On_SwipeStart;
26.         EasyTouch.On_Swipe -= On_Swipe;
27.         EasyTouch.On_SwipeEnd -= On_SwipeEnd;  
28.     }
29.    
30.    
31.     // At the swipe beginning
32.     private void On_SwipeStart( Gesture gesture){
33.        
34.         if (trail[gesture.fingerIndex]==null){
35.            
36.             // the world coordinate from touch for z=5
37.             Vector3 position = gesture.GetTouchToWordlPoint(5);
38.             trail[gesture.fingerIndex ] = Instantiate( Resources.Load("Trail"),position,Quaternion.identity) as GameObject;
39.         }
40.     }
41.    
42.     // During the swipe
43.     private void On_Swipe(Gesture gesture){
44.        
45.         if (trail[gesture.fingerIndex]!=null){
46.            
47.             // the world coordinate from touch for z=5
48.             Vector3 position = gesture.GetTouchToWordlPoint(5);
49.             trail[gesture.fingerIndex ].transform.position = position;
50.         }
51.     }
52.    
53.     // At the swipe end
54.     private void On_SwipeEnd(Gesture gesture){
55.        
56.         if (trail[gesture.fingerIndex]!=null){
57.             Destroy(trail[gesture.fingerIndex ]);          
58.         }
59.                
60.     }
61. }

 

Thanks so much for that! Fantastic product btw.

Easy touch works on monitors with touchscreen enabled?

 

Hi,

EasyTouch uses Unity API, so you are on PC or Mac with monitors with touchscreen that simulate the mouse, it'will work like on Unity Editor

Nicolas

 

Hi

I have the same question and problem. I have an Acer t232HL touch monitor with windows 8 but it does not work with EasyTouch.
Do you have any idea if you could add the support for this?
It would mean a lot for me to be able to test the games straight in the editor, in Windows, with the touch monitor rather than compiling the game each time and tweak it...

Thanks for the great job so far.

A+

 

Hi,

Unity add support to Window Phone 8, but I don't know how they manage the touch. But they never say that Unity support Window 8 touch monitor

I don't have window 8, and I don't have Window phone 8, sorry

I use Unity API, if Unity doesn't support them, I can't do nothing

 

well, I'm using TouchScript too and this works in the Editor, in Windows 8 too...
http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/172955-TouchScript-%97-multi-touch-library-for-Unity-RELEASED
Maybe you can ask them how they did it...

 

Having a bit of an issue here. I have a huge ring that I rotate with drag and swipe, then I have buttons on that ring that I get touch events from using On_SimpleTap. Everything works perfectly fine on mac editor with a mouse. When I build to iPad 2 though, I get no On_SimpleTab events. Any thoughts? Thanks.

 

Hi,

On_SimpleTap doesn't work but swipe and drag work and IPAD2 ?

Do you change the Stationnary tolerance ?

Can you tell me if OneFinger example work on your Ipad2 ?
