Input.GetMouseButton works on mobile?

Hello!
I found out today that Input.GetMouseButton actually works with touches on mobile, specifically, I was testing on a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3. Is it true that the getmouse functions work on mobile, and we don't necessarily need to use Input.GetTouch ?

EDIT: This is with Unity 4.5.2f1

Code I was testing with:

Code (csharp):

1. usingUnityEngine;
2. usingSystem.Collections;
3.  
4. publicclasstouchTest : MonoBehaviour {
5.  
6.  
7. publicTextMeshmyText;
8.  
9. //Updateiscalledonceperframe
10. voidUpdate () {
11. if(Input.GetMouseButton(0))
12. {
13. myText.text = "Mouse Down";
14. }
15. else
16. {
17. myText.text = "hello world!";
18.  
19. }
20. }
21. }
22.  

 

If Input.simulateMouseWithTouches is true (it is by default), touch input will be translated into mouse input as a side-effect.

(Documentation needs to be updated. States that this is WSA and WP8 specific, but it isn't).

 

Ooo, didn't see this before! Thanks for the headsup! Yeah, it definitely works on Android as well. I was getting double clicks because the mouse and touch commands were being triggered together. Have to test on ios. Cheers!

 

Can confirm it also works with iOS.

It's still better to use Input.touches for several reasons (Chief among them, you get more data to work with), but for quick and dirty stuff, you can use the mouse emulation.

 

Awesome! Thanks!
