getting touch position

[elgraniaco]

Hi,

I was wondering if there's a built-in way to get the touch position the same way stage.getMousePosition() does with the mouse.

I am using stage.getMousePosition() in my update function to get the mouse position constantly and I would need to mirror the behavior in mobile.

 

Many thanks.

I ended up using this strategy:

var currentMousePos = { x: -1, y: -1 };$(function () {  document.addEventListener("touchstart", onTouchStart, true);  document.addEventListener("touchend", onTouchEnd, true);  document.addEventListener("touchmove", onTouchMove, true);}function onTouchStart(event){  currentMousePos.x = event.pageX;  currentMousePos.y = event.pageY;}function onTouchMove(event){  currentMousePos.x = event.pageX;  currentMousePos.y = event.pageY;}function onTouchEnd(event){  currentMousePos.x = event.pageX;  currentMousePos.y = event.pageY;}

Could you use `sprite.data.getLocalPosition(sprite.parent)` ?

 var pointer = sprite.data.getLocalPosition(sprite.parent);

You then end up with `pointer.x` and `pointer.y` that tell you the position of either the mouse event, touch event, or both.

 

It should work for any DisplayObject, not just sprites.

First of all, thank you very much for the replies.

The approach to a solution I used is something in the lines of samim's, my question was whether PIXI had a built-in function like stage.getMousePosition() in order to simplify my code (I would only have to add one line of new code to my "on mouse hold" position catching logic). I've done my research though and found out there isn't.

 

Again, thank you very much.
