[RELEASED] FingerGestures - Robust input gestures at your fingertips!

Hi all, I just purchased Finger Gestures and have an issue I need help with. I am creating a 2D Project where my user will swipe a 2D sprite consistently to create Force to move a GameObject in a certain direction. Currently I am Raycasting from the Camera to detect if I am hitting the sprite. I want to incorporate Finger Gestures into this and do any with my current script. What would be the best Method to detect the swipe and its speed or velocity, store it in a private var, and move my gameObject across the -X axis based on that value? I want to do this using Finger Gestures. Thanks!

 

Sure looks like there are a lot of customer questions going on in this thread; so I'll do my part and add another one! What I am wondering is if you're planning on adding multi-stroke custom gestures/point clouds, and if so, when do you think such a thing would be done?

On another note would be great if the points were editable/movable after they are drawn rather than having to start the whole stroke over.

[EDIT]
Just saw on your site's roadmap that you plan on adding multi-stroke support. I guess I'll just have to eagerly await it then!

 

Could use a bit of help, as William seems unavailable.

Simple scene where spawned objects (hunters) 'look at' and move toward a target object.
I'd like to be able to drag from a 'hunter' to another object to change the 'hunter's' target. I can get OnDrag() to recognize my start and ended GesturePhase, just not sure how to get it to recognize the object under the start and the object under the end.

Hopefully this makes sense. Thanks.

Any ideas why I am getting this?

Just imported 3.0 after deleting the old files.

 

Just started a new project, added a single Tap Recognizer, and I get the following error (repeated) when I run the project. Are there issues with the current version?

 

@SteveJ
Hey man,
did you follow this tut? http://fingergestures.fatalfrog.com/docs/manual:tutorial_detect_tap
if not, try following it.

 

@outtoplay
hey man,
I am not quite sure what you mean.
But here goes.
What if you assign a restricted gesture(one only used for this particular action) to the target shift?
like 3tripleTap an object would automatically assign it as target for hunters. This could be made with more finesse ofc. like first tap adresses the hunter and then touch the NEW target...just an idea.
your idea sounds cool though... any progress?
-Krodil

 

Yep - that's the one. Getting the error listed in my post.

 

@SteveJ
kk, I followed the same tut a while back. No errors at all.

when does the error occur (how far down in the tut)? did you setup fingergestures?
From the code it looks like you did not assign the script(s) the right places.
You could post your object hierarchy and the scripts attached to the objects in the scene.

 

Okay... so maybe I missed a step...

 

I have a questions here.

If I have two gameobjects overlapping, One will be destroyed and instantiate another one at the same position, they both are scripted swipe to right will audio.play(), but when I test it and swipe on the third time, two of them will play the audio, how can i fix it??
I have tried Destroy the gameobject, but the function cannot be reuse anymore....

scripts below.

var newfab:GameObject[];

function OnEnable(){
FingerGestures.OnFingerSwipe += FingerGestures_OnFingerSwipe;
}

function FingerGestures_OnFingerSwipe( fingerIndex : int, startPos : Vector2, direction : FingerGestures.SwipeDirection, velocity : float )
{
if (direction == FingerGestures.SwipeDirection.Right){
audio.Play();
this.active=false;
Instantaite(newfab[Random.Range(0,newfab.length)]);
}
}

Thx
Yan

 

Hey everyone...

Does anyone know if this has been fixed yet?

A workaround is to load the level again... but that's USUALLY not very practical to get this to work correctly!!

William, can we look forward to a fix for this soon?

Otherwise... how can I initially tap the screen and get back the object I just tapped using Unity Remote and Finger Gestures WITHOUT reloading the application???

Thanks!

Hi!

im dont found any instructions to use fingergetures with javascript, only with C,
How difficult is convert TBOrbit.cs to javascript?

 

looking on the documents, i fount this:

"The main API scripts are located in the Plugins folder so that they can be accessed from scripts written in UnityScript (javascript) as well."
http://fingergestures.fatalfrog.com/docs/manual:package_content?s[]=javascript

but i dont understand how... can you write one single script (or a scene) that do it, like a simple tap, please?

 

Hi! Can i somehow get older version of finger gestures? new one seems to break my project.
i didnt have unity package, i used asset store for purchase. can i get a hold of the developer somehow?
i will provide invoice no,date and email tied to the purchase, thanks!

 

Hi, I'm not sure if this has been discussed before but how can I setup finger gesture tap gestures so that I won't receive a single tap event the same frame that I receive a double tap event?

 

I upgraded to the 3.0 version and no matter what I tweaked, I could not get the pinch recognizer to trigger with a single click of my mouse scroll wheel. Now it takes 2 clicks to fire the event. On the old FingerGestures, a single click of the scroll wheel worked. Is there a way to tweak this to work?

 

does it work for multitouches on windows 8 touch laptops? i mean windows standalone desktop, not windows store applications.

 

Hi,

Can you make the manual in .pdf format, I wish to print and follow this as a guide.

Also I hope 3.1 will be out of Beta soon, i know this is due?

 

Hi I am using finger gesture for dragging object. My object has a collider but it doesn't collide with other colliders. So how can I detect collision? Moreover I want to give rigid body force to my object when dragging according to the touch start and touch stop distance. Please tell me also how can i do it? Thank you.

 

hey Reshad,
first. Do you know how to work with physics/does it work without FG?
second. If you use the TbDragToMove etc. you can access the deltaGesture and TotalRotation etc. this you can use as input into your physics.

/best

 

Krodil, I am using TBDragToMOve to drag my rigid body object. But I can't detect the drag direction by which i can add velocity to my rigid body to that direction. Because i want to add some force to my rigid body in dragging direction after the dragging is complete. And I am not expert in coding. So any help will greatly appreciated. Thank you.

 

maybe add the delta(from start to end gesture) to velocity in a direction.
for instance add the distance*some value to the transform.position based on direction.
The direction is probably something you can find by a vector.
Did you search the FG forum, might already be answered. Or consult the manual.

 

Hey I just updated to the newest version of finger gestures and it broke there is no longer a finger swipe event and it seems like some of the prefabs have null data.

FingerGestures.OnFingerSwipe

 

I'm having the same problem FingerGestures.OnFingerSwipe. Finger Gesture seems to be abandoned?

 

How do we get support for this plugin? I've tried the forum on the dev's website, tried sending him an email... no reply for a week.

Maybe someone here has figured out how to get multiple TB scripts working together for the new v3? For example:
TBPan and TBPinch Zoom

They seem to conflict with each other. Should we just not use those scripts and build our own?

 

This is a big problem with vendors and their products within the Asset Store. It is not the first product that I get no support. Likewise there are honest people there are also people who deceive you. I lost some money here now because of this. Finger Gesture was a great product, shame that this abandoned.

 

I need to draw a path, with the finger. and have a reset button to clear the screen, any help!!!

 

Hi There,

I'm using this plugin but am stuck with something.

I'd like it to automatically approve a gesture without waiting for the mouse to release, so if I draw a circle even with the mouse down it will still register as a valid circle drawn (from the point cloud gesture recognizer).

Any ideas how to do this?

 

I have the following in a Start() function on a script.

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. FingerGestures.Defaults.DoubleTap.MaxDelayBetweenTaps = 1.0f;
3. FingerGestures.Defaults.DoubleTap.MaxDuration = 1.5f;
4.  

Regardless of what I set the values to though, the behaviour of the double-tap doesn't change - it still requires a very quick double-tap to work.

Am I using this correctly?

 

Hi, I am interested in FingerGesture asset in combination with Playmaker!

Is it possible to get the touch dimensions (w,h,r) with FingerGesture? I use win7 and a PQLabs Multitouch device and it offers these parameters....
I need a solution for a interactive bar where user can place glasses, dishes on the multitouch device, also the user should be able to interact with his fingers... the dimesions of a touch (width, height, radius) input should trigger different states (for finger and object interaction depending on their dimension)!

Thanks in advance

 

Hi, is it possible to simulate a two finger tap?

 

Is it just me or are no questions being answered on the official support forum ??
( the forum where users paid for the product )

 

Hello, how to recognize point cloud gestures just when we follow the line, not on the random screen we want?

 

So is this dead? Trying to use it in a Unity 5 project with Javascript because its a previous game that I had working with an older version of FingerGestures. I used to subscribe to the events like this...

FingerGestures.OnFingerEvent += FingerGestures_OnFingerDown;

function FingerGestures_OnFingerDown ( e : FingerEvent)
{
// Do Something
}

It works with the Finger Event but not these...

• FingerUpDetector.OnFingerUp( FingerUpEvent e )
• FingerDownDetector.OnFingerDown( FingerDownEvent e )
• FingerHoverDetector.OnFingerHover( FingerHoverEvent e )
• FingerMotionDetector.OnFingerMove( FingerMotionEvent e )
• FingerMotionDetector.OnFingerStationary( FingerMotionEvent e )
• FingerGestures.OnFingerEvent( FingerEvent e )

Anyone have an ideas what I am doing wrong? thx : )

 

how can i use 2 touches on DragMove i need to detect two different drags by two different figures

 

Has anyone who was using FingerGestures found a really good equivalent replacement? i.e. something that functions in basically the same way?

 

I'd like to know too. I've found "Lean Touch" and "Fingers" on the Asset Store but am yet to figure out how much work is involved in changing my code to work with these.

 

I'm using Easy Touch 5 now. Works very nicely and in a (basically) similar way to FingerGestures in terms of events and responding to events.
