Version 2.0.0-beta of Godot Touch Input Manager is out!

mavcito

Godot Touch Input Manager is an asset that improves Godot's touch input support mainly by adding new gestures. The new update includes new gestures (e.g. swipes), improved emulation (customizable key bindings), and more.

Available in: https://github.com/Federico-Ciuffardi/Godot-Touch-Input-Manager

Feel free to contribute, and thanks for reading!

Cool.

This asset was ported to be added to Godot and is now a milestone for version 4.0 (PR).

That confused me.

Is this asset compatible with Godot 3.4.4?

Yes it is. That's talking about adding it to Godot 4.0 natively.

Will this magic work on Windows (7 or 11)?

The emulation should work fine, but I don't know if the gestures work on a PC that has a touch screen mainly because the asset needs InputEventScreenTouch and InputEventScreenDrag that specify to be only available on mobile devices. I don't have a PC with a touch screen to test it, if you have one and want to please try it out and let me know how it goes.

Trying it out. Report.

In the "Project manager", tab "Project Asset Library", available "GodotTouchInputManager-Demo" v1.0.3 — it works without problems, both in landscape and portrait orientation. :+1:

@Tomcat

Thank you for the report!

This is weird, if version 1.0.3 works then version 2.0.0-beta should work too (I think).

The first error is the strangest, I can't replicate it when testing on my PC (with emulation) or on my smartphone, it's also a pretty serious error and I haven't had any other reports about it. The only thing I can think of that could be going on is that the laptop screen is the problem, but that also seems weird to me because version 1.0.3 worked and that version works similarly. Maybe windows has something to do with it (I use linux).

The rest of the errors you included make me think that maybe the asset is not configured correctly.

What steps did you take to get to those errors?

Tomcat

@mavcito said: What steps did you take to get to those errors?

Just downloaded and imported the project.

Made sure that the autoloading is activated.

"GodotTouchInputManager-Demo" v1.0.3 downloaded and installed through the "Project manager".

Version 1.0.3 works fine and correctly detects all gestures.

@Tomcat

Does it work if you use the emulation?

I'm sorry, I didn't really understand. Are we talking about mouse emulation?

In any case, if you change both "Emulate Touch From Mouse and Emulate Mouse From Touch" in any combination, nothing changes in behavior.

Tomcat: The emulation refers to this: https://github.com/Federico-Ciuffardi/Godot-Touch-Input-Manager#gesture-emulation

mavcito: I just tested GDTIM-Demo (v2.0.0-beta) on an Android phone, and it works correctly. To fully evaluate it, I would need to set up a project where the touch inputs actually do something.

Tomcat

@DaveTheCoder said: Tomcat: The emulation refers to this: https://github.com/Federico-Ciuffardi/Godot-Touch-Input-Manager#gesture-emulation Well, that's what I mean — there's a note at the bottom: There are two options to enable single finger gestures:

The error pops up at the first touch and there is no way to make gestures. And the error occurs both when touching with a finger and with the stylus.

@DaveTheCoder :

Thanks!

Do you have Windows on your PC? If so, can you also try gdtim-demo with emulation?

@Tomcat :

I don't think there is much I can do to fix the problem without being able to reproduce it. Maybe compress the project folder and post it here so I can check it out myself.

DaveTheCoder

I only have Linux on my PC, but the emulation works with gdtim-demo in the Godot editor.

But I only launched the demo — your project. Playing it back in emulation must be really problematic.

I'll come back to this later: it's a very nice feature, but not critical — there are more priority problems right now.

! And I've been offered to test the functionality of Win 7 projects in emulation on Win 11… reliable plan…
