TouchPhase.Moved interfere with TouchPhase.Ended

Unity Engine

Hello forum :slight_smile:

My problem is this. I am trying to differentiate between a tap and a swipe.
Lets say I want to move my camera with a swipe, no problem!
Or I want to tap and do something, again, no problem.

The problem is when I swipe and lift my finger it also counts as a tap.
So I thought of condition, but in my script once I do a swipe, the tap stops working :frowning:
I did a lot search in google, but with no success :frowning:

Is it there a proper way to distinguish between a swipe and a tap and not interfere with each other.

Here is my code in JS
And thank you for your time :slight_smile:

private var Moved : boolean = false;
private var Began : boolean = false;

function Update () {
for (var i = 0; i < Input.touchCount; ++i) {

   var ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay (Input.GetTouch(i).position);    
   var hit : RaycastHit;
  
     if (Input.GetTouch(i).phase == TouchPhase.Moved)
       {
    Moved = true;
        } 
       
          if (Input.GetTouch(i).phase == TouchPhase.Began) 
          {
          Began = true;
          }  
        
        if (Input.GetTouch(i).phase == TouchPhase.Ended) {
         
        if (Began == true  Moved == false ) {
           Moved = false;
           Began = false; 
 
              if (Physics.Raycast(ray,hit)) { 
                    var gunRotate = GameObject.Find("gun_parent").GetComponent(Gun_Rotate); 
                    gunRotate.Turn(hit.point);

                 cooldownGun();
                 explosionSphere();
                 SphereRestart();
                 Began = false;
                 Moved = false;
      }  
    }
   }
  }  
 }

Personally I have a threshold value to distinguish between the two. I track each touch’s current and original positions, and if the current position is ever further away from the original position than the threshold distance I transition it to a swipe and behave accordingly.
