[RELEASED] Easy Touch

Looks like a Dead Project.... No reply for nearly 2 weeks... Lucky for me, I was actually thinking of purchasing the asset.

Seems like support for this asset simply Sux. It used to get great support from what I've heard.. but now its simply gone to S***...

 

First of all, great product!

Just a simple question. I was wondering how to build a slingshot that only spawns on a specific area in the screen.

Here is a gif screenshot: http://gyazo.com/edba78d7c3718346e3e101d108108e5f

As you can see, I am using a combination of Drag and Swipe events, the thing here is, I want the Slingshot to be dragged only when the player swipes.

My code is below:

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using System.Collections;
3.  
4. public class swipeShoot : MonoBehaviour {
5.    
6.     private TextMesh textMesh;
7.     private GameObject trail;
8.  
9.     private bool inRect = false;
10.  
11.     public Rect myRect;
12.     public Rect myRectFlipped;
13.     // Subscribe to events
14.     void OnEnable(){
15.         EasyTouch.On_SwipeStart += On_SwipeStart;
16.         EasyTouch.On_Swipe += On_Swipe;
17.         EasyTouch.On_SwipeEnd += On_SwipeEnd;      
18.     }
19.    
20.     void OnDisable(){
21.         UnsubscribeEvent();
22.        
23.     }
24.    
25.     void OnDestroy(){
26.         UnsubscribeEvent();
27.     }
28.    
29.     void UnsubscribeEvent(){
30.         EasyTouch.On_SwipeStart -= On_SwipeStart;
31.         EasyTouch.On_Swipe -= On_Swipe;
32.         EasyTouch.On_SwipeEnd -= On_SwipeEnd;  
33.     }
34.    
35.     void Start(){
36.         textMesh = GameObject.Find("LastSwipeText").transform.gameObject.GetComponent("TextMesh") as TextMesh;
37.     }
38.    
39.     // At the swipe beginning
40.     private void On_SwipeStart( Gesture gesture){
41.        
42.         // Only for the first finger
43.         if (gesture.IsInRect(myRect, inRect)) {
44.             if (gesture.fingerIndex==0 && trail==null){
45.             // the world coordinate from touch for z=5
46.                 Vector3 position = gesture.GetTouchToWordlPoint(5);
47.                 trail = Instantiate( Resources.Load("Trail"),position,Quaternion.identity) as GameObject;
48.             }
49.         }
50.     }
51.    
52.     // During the swipe
53.     private void On_Swipe(Gesture gesture){
54.         if (gesture.IsInRect(myRect, inRect)) {  
55.             if ((trail!=null) && (gesture.IsInRect(myRect, inRect))){
56.                 // the world coordinate from touch for z=5
57.                 Vector3 position = gesture.GetTouchToWordlPoint(5);
58.                 trail.transform.position = position;
59.             }
60.         }
61.         transform.GetChild (0).gameObject.SetActive (true);
62.     }
63.    
64.     // At the swipe end
65.     private void On_SwipeEnd(Gesture gesture){
66.         if (gesture.IsInRect(myRect, inRect)) {
67.             if (trail!=null){
68.                 Destroy(trail);
69.                 // Get the swipe angle
70.                 float angles = gesture.GetSwipeOrDragAngle();
71.                 textMesh.text = "Last swipe : " + gesture.swipe.ToString() + " /  vector : " + gesture.swipeVector.normalized + " / angle : " + angles.ToString("f2") + " / " + gesture.deltaPosition.x.ToString("f5");
72.             }
73.         }
74.         transform.GetChild (0).gameObject.SetActive (false);
75.     }
76.    
77.     void OnGUI() {
78.         GUIDrawRect(myRectFlipped, new Color(256,0,0,.35f));
79.     }
80.    
81.     private static Texture2D _staticRectTexture;
82.     private static GUIStyle _staticRectStyle;
83.    
84.     // Note that this function is only meant to be called from OnGUI() functions.
85.     public static void GUIDrawRect( Rect position, Color color )
86.     {
87.         if( _staticRectTexture == null )
88.         {
89.             _staticRectTexture = new Texture2D( 1, 1 );
90.         }
91.        
92.         if( _staticRectStyle == null )
93.         {
94.             _staticRectStyle = new GUIStyle();
95.         }
96.        
97.         _staticRectTexture.SetPixel( 0, 0, color );
98.         _staticRectTexture.Apply();
99.        
100.         _staticRectStyle.normal.background = _staticRectTexture;
101.        
102.         GUI.Box( position, GUIContent.none, _staticRectStyle );
103.     }
104. }
105.  

 

I'll tell you, I am getting sick of this, 50% of the assets I have purchased have no good support, or died!
As for this one, no answer at their forum, no answers here, no response to email, and as far as I see it has been more like a month. Time to move on to another solution I guess.

 

It seems support is M.I.A. but maybe someone who uses this product can help me out. I am trying to access EasyTouch with JS. The documentation says to move the Plugins folder to root folder. I already have a Plugins folder with other plugins installed. Should I just move the contents of EasyTouch Plugins folder to my pre-existing Plugins folder on root? Thanks anyone!

 

Yes this is one way to accomplish this (Note it is a Unity JS/C# thing and applies to more than easytouch).

The contents need to get compiled earlier than the rest of the scripts. Links below for reference (note while it does need to be in the root plugins folder you can make sub-folders under there if you want to keep some organization).

http://wiki.unity3d.com/index.php/Special_Folder_Names_in_your_Assets_Folder

http://docs.unity3d.com/Manual/ScriptCompileOrderFolders.html

 

Yeh, I've read all about that. But "Gesture" was still unrecognized. Anxious to get something working, I have since written my own touch handler and look to offload this plugin. Thanks @greggtwep16.

 

Anyone tried using Finger Gestures asset & if so how does it compare to E.T apart from the fact E.T has joy stick features... & crap support but then again.. F.G also has crap support

 

I just moved from that product due to even worse support, look at their support forum basically nothing is replied for a very long time. I even emailed them without response. I think that is a dead product. Also ET seems more solid.

 

Meanwhile, I just bought a $10 asset and that dude gives serious and fast support! ET, refund please.

 

I am trying to implement photo resizing. I need to detect zoom (two finger zoom gesture) and rotation (two finger rotation gesture) - how can I detect them?

On a side note, do you plan to integrate this with 4.6UI?

 

There is an example of this inside the included examples within the package. It uses a photo and detects zooming, rotation, and more. Check it out!

 

Hi all,

We are sorry for the delay, but the unity forum has a bug, it doesn't
send us post notifications!

They have corrected the bug, and now it seem to be ok.
Many publishers seem to get the same problem,
we are sorry (but not really responsible...)​

I recall that the support for users, can be found here :

(We are tired to support pirated version...)
http://www.blitz3dfr.com/teamtalk/index.php

It's easier for us, to track your problems or requests

We are planning a 4.X version that will use the new Unity GUI!

pKallv
Can you give me screenshot of your EasyTouch Inspector, and the sprite collider ?

lilboylost
Yes, we plan to update to Unity 4.6, a example with photo pinch is allready provided in the kit.

That is fine to blame the forum, but I also sent email's to support and tried to signup with YOUR forum and got no response until now. And that response from the forum signup was "Registration Rejected", I have tried to signup again and waiting to see what happens.
I like your products, I have two right now, and after being burned by Daikon Forge recently I was maybe over reacting.

 

Hi,

If you account has been rejected because your invoice number was incorrect (may be a bad copy/paste)

We must not forget that we aren't a company of 30 peoples, but only 2 independent, and we do our best to ensure the best possible support (look at our forum support).

We regret this incident, we invite you to re-registration, and include your invoice number.

 

Well I hope I used the right invoice number, there are several tracking numbers for these purchases.
Anyway, I used the one from my account list here at Unity, I submitted that again on the 26th.

Please look for it when you can.

Thank you.

 

Hi,

You account is already activate

 

And if you bought it through the Hedgehog Team store?

 

We ask your e-mail

 

What are the release notes (changes) in 3.1.8 version ?

There is no information about this in your website.

 

Oups sorry, it's little bug fixe.

/// EasyTouch V3.1.8 August 2014
/// =================================
///
/// * Bugs fixed
/// ------------
/// - Fix bug on GetCurrentPickedObject that take startposition instead of the current position

 

Thanks.
Could you explain what this fix on 3.1.7 version consist of?:

"- Fix debug reservedarea on EasyButton"

I ask this because I requested some changes in reserved area behaviour on EasyButton and I don't know if it is related to this.

 

The debug area could remain active after a final compilation

 

Hi Hedgehog Team,

I have tried the EasyTouch Free and I will buy it as it is exactly what I need. Great job, excellent!
However, I have a question: Is it possible with EasyJoystick to turn an object according to the code:

Code (CSharp):

1.     void OnEnable(){
2.         EasyJoystick.On_JoystickMove += On_JoystickMove;
3.     }
4.    
5.     void On_JoystickMove( MovingJoystick move){
6.    
7.         float angle = move.Axis2Angle(true);
8.         transform.rotation  = Quaternion.Euler( new Vector3(0,0,angle));

then to let go and touch it at a completely different part of the circle and turn it further on from its current position without it jumping towards my finger? In other words, the object keeps on turning from its last position regardless of where I touch it again? And if it is possible, could you recommend a code for it (C#)? Many thanks for your help.

In addition a remark: Maybe it happens only by me (free version), but if I switch on the “Restrict to area” function, it works only if the Joystick is selected in the Hierarchy panel. If I select something else or I have already created the APK, then it is disregarded.

Thanks

 

Hi tommaso,

Your code is correct, but it seems that your process generates a bug that you continue to receive On_JoystickMove event.

But I don't understand very well your manipulation, can you do me a schema (sorry, my anlgais is not very good)

For your second issue, it was fixed on paid version.

 

I tried rotating a bone of an animated mesh with a Joystick. I can translate it but it won't rotate. I have tried local and non local and tried every possible combo of axis. Still won't rotate.

How do you rotate a bone of an animated mesh with joystick?

 

Hello, is it possible to have multiple fingers on screen, given that you put the fingers one at a time? (Ex. First touch in screen for 2 minutes before the second touch)
If so, can I have a snippet/line/sample of that code?

Thank you.

Jococo
I never try to rotate a bone with direct mode, can you send me your model ?

FrostMaiden
Yes off course, you can do that. You have that on Multifinger example

 

DarkAnvil, Hedgehog Team:

Hi, thanks for your reply. Yes, the code is okay and it works, I only would like to complement it. I have two videos on YouTube where I think I can show you what I mean:

This is what is happening now:

And this is what I need
(the arrow keeps on turning from its last position regardless of where I touch it again):

Thanks

 

Ok,

In your code you replace the rotation, just add to the current rotation

Code (CSharp):

1. transform.rotation += Quaternion.Euler(newVector3(0,0,angle));

 

Hi

It's wrong, you must save the rotation when the joystick move for the first time, and use this rotation in addtion

May be something like that

Code (CSharp):

1. private Quaternion startRotation;
2.  
3. void On_JoystickMoveStart( MovingJoystick move){
4.   startRotation = transform.rotation;
5. }
6.  
7. void On_JoystickMove( MovingJoystick move){
8.      transform.rotation = starRotation + Quaternion.Euler(newVector3(0,0,angle));
9. }

 

Hi, thank you, that is almost okay. It works only if I touch the top of the circle. If I touch it at a different part (anywhere) of the area, the rotation object jumps. Please let me insert another final video, where I can show you exactly what I mean:

Many thanks.

 

Hi,

I gave you the starting, if I understand you want to rotate your player when you touch the joystick or move the joystick.

So you just have to add On_JoystickMove tratement to On_JoystickMoveStart

 

Hey HedgeHog,

Saw it, but exactly what line of code that makes multifinger work?
or is it just:
if (gesture.pickObject == gameObject)

if so, that nulls my first touch after having a second touch...

 

Hi,

The multi-touch is always on. When you receive a message, the member finderIndex of gesture class indicates the touch.

If you want to manage the multi-touch you need to take this information into account.

Look at the example Multi-touch

 

Hi, thanks for the fast reply.

Sorry, but can you tell me exactly where in the example of multi-touch I should look at? Which script (ObjectTouch or ScreenTouch), what particular line of code?
I can't seem to find it? Or maybe I'm overlooking it? I'm not sure... Sorry.

Thank you.

 

Hi,

Just registered on your site, but I have some urgency in getting this sorted (and I'm still waiting for admin approve from the site).

In Easy Touch's Two Finger example, if you twist very slowly, the sphere will not rotate smoothly, instead rotating just every 20 degrees or so. This behaviour is similar in both Unity and a device (tested on an iPad 3). The behaviour for pinch is the same.

If I start twisting fast enough, then small twists are caught. However if I start with a very slow twist, On_Twist events are only received every x degrees, making the rotation jerky.

Any ideas on what might be happening? This happens on your examples, with no modifications whatsoever.

 

Hi all,

FrostMaiden
Tell me what you want to do just that will be easier

Game Whiz
This is due to the fact that in the examples, I don't have to implement smoothing function. When you make a swift action, the speed of the result doesn't t show that there is no smoothing, has the opposite when the gest is slow, no smoothing is obvious.

 

I didn't understand your explanation. When the gesture is slow I rarely get On_Twist events. When the gesture is fast I get a lot of On_Twist events. If I make a fast gesture and then, on the same gesture, start going really slow, I receive On_Twist events just fine, even for the very slow gesture, so this isn't tied to any smoothing you're doing.

 

Hi,

Sorry, I wasn't very well understood what you were saying, I thought you meant that the movement was jerky.

All actions are conditioned over a distance "Stationary tolerance" in the inspector. This distance allows no event will raise when your finger is still pressing on screen by moving at the same place. (For simplicity, it is the diameter of your finger in pixel)

However it isn't this margin in the Unity editor with the mouse pointer.

You can reduce this parameter in the Inspector, to avoid this behavior in Unity editor, but managing s touch may be very very sensitive on the destination platform

 

I am observing some delay in "EasyButton.On_ButtonPress "event. I am trying to simulate a slider drag system. Slider button comes to touch position after some delay. is it possible to remove the delay so that user experience will be fluid.

 

Hi Sathya

Do you have this delay with example scene 'ButtonExample", move Fire to Press method name?

 

Oh okay, sorry.

I hope I can explain well: I want to drag 2 buttons simultaneously. Touching the 1st button, and then have the 2nd button after some duration. While holding onto the 1st button, I want to drag the 2nd one, while dragging I want to be able to move/drag the 1st.
I don't want to touch both buttons at the same time, but rather simultaneously.

I build your Multifinger example and installed it into my phone, but I can't do what I wanted in that example...

Sorry if its a bit confusing... Anyway, thank you.

 

@Hedgehog Team
I tried ButtonExample and OneFinger example. I didn observe any delay in the touch. works fine. i did compare the easytouch settings on both the scenes. still i am facing this delay. what could possibly be the problem !

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. void SubscribeEvent()
3.     {
4.         EasyTouch.On_TouchDown += OnSliderPressed;
5.         EasyTouch.On_TouchUp += OnSliderReleased;
6.     }
7. void OnSliderPressed(Gesture gesture)
8.     {
9.         if (gesture.pickObject == myGameObject)
10.         {
11.             acceleratorBeingHeld = true;
12.          
13.             Vector3 position = gesture.GetTouchToWordlPoint(5);
14.  
15.             Vector3 newSliderPosition = new Vector3(acceleratorPedal.position.x,position.y,acceleratorPedal.position.z);
16.          
17.             acceleratorPedal.position = newSliderPosition;
18.             ClampAcceleratorPosition();
19.         }
20.     }
21.  

 

How do you check your delay time, when action is finished or when you receive the event?

Because you can have some delay on final device, if you have heavy tratement after receive the event

 

If you check the attached code, It should move right away in very next frame. checking the delay when receiving the event. On very first tap i don get the delay it works fine and on second and following taps get the delay

 

Sorry but there isn't any attached code, you have delay on unity or on the device ?

 

Hi all,

FrostMaiden, Sathya, Game Whiz, is it possible that you post on our forum, because 3 people on the same topic on a same time with different issues, I feel that it's going to be wrong answering them or forget.

 

Sure

 

please respond to my email and accept the forum registration, i really need help

 

Hi Keitaro,

Currently, I haven't pending account with a valid invoice number. What is your user name on our forum.

I understand that you need help, but I also need to sleep, I live in France so I received your request earlier this morning.
