Hi,
Im using the Joystick.js script from the penelope iPhone Tutorial. I have a script called TwinStick.js that Im using to access the Joystick script to make my player move and shoot.
I would like to create another button and use this 3rd button to simply print a message when clicked and this is where Im kind of lost. I don’t want this 3rd button to move like a Joystick so I enabled TouchPad in the inspector. But how would I print a message by clicking this 3rd button (var spellButton : Joystick) it seems that the Joystick script is registering all inputs and touches So I figured I might as well use it but I dont know how to ask for the hitTest.
Can someone give me a code hint to get the 3rd button to print(“3rd button clicked, spell”); from the variable spellButton.
Here is the TwinStick Script which moves my player using the 2 joysticks (one for movement the other for firing) along with a bunch of commented out stuff that I couldn’t get to work trying to get a print out for the 3rd button. And I’ll put the Joystick script from Penelope below as well.
TwinStick.js
var spellButton : Joystick;;//TouchPad enabled in the inspector so graphic dosent move for animation spell button
var leftStick: Joystick;
var rightStick: Joystick;
var moveSpeed : float = 3.0;
var projectile : Transform;
var shootPos : Transform;
var projectileSpeed : int = 2000;
private var nextFireTime : float; //when can we shoot again
var rapidFireDelay : float = 0.5; //delay between shots
var reloadTime : float = 1.0; //time it takes to reload :)
private var theClip : int; //ammo remaining in clip
var ammoPerClip : int = 5;
var shooting : boolean = false;
function Update()
{
//spellButton//somehow register touch through joystick script???
/*
if(spellButton.HitTest(touch.position))
{
print("Spell Button Enabled");
}
*/
//TouchTarget();
/*
var count : int = Input.touchCount;
if( count >= 1)
{
var touch : Touch = Input.GetTouch(0);
if (spellButton.HitTest( touch.position ) )
{
print("Spell");
}
}

Greatly Appreciated! Sorry for the long post Im just trying to figure this out.
Once I get the Rect to match the Texture position I’ll know for sure.
