Android: Any way to detect mulitouch?

Questions & Answers
1

Here is my situation: I have a character with 2 buttons. One make it go to the right, the other one makes it go to the left. When i am pressing one button, it works fine, But when i press both buttons, it only registers the button pressed first. The reason for that is it is just registering the first touch position has moved, not that another finger touches the screen. Is there any way to go around this, or is it the device?

My code for moving is:

if (WalkingLeft) {
//transform.position.x -= spd;
anim.SetBool("Walking",true);
transform.localScale.x = -0.5;
spd = -0.1;
}
if (WalkingRight) {
//transform.position.x += spd;
anim.SetBool("Walking",true);
transform.localScale.x = 0.5;
spd = 0.1;
}
if ((!WalkingLeft && !WalkingRight) || (WalkingLeft && WalkingRight)) {
anim.SetBool("Walking",false);
spd = 0;
}

transform.position.x += spd;

All of that is inside of a FixedUpdate function.

This is probably the read-only property you are after.

Input.multiTouchEnabled

If you think that your device could support multitouch, maybe have a label onscreen output the result from Input.touchCount. In this case, you can see how touches are being detected on your device.

Depending on the type of program you are developing, you may also want set this property Input.simulateMouseWithTouches to false. By default, it is set to true which means touches also call Mouse events in your code. This is more problematic if you do Input checks for both mouse and touches in your code meaning events both types of input events could occur.
