Starting New Game - How To Get Touch [x,y] On Android?

[JeZxLee]

Hi,

We finished our 1st PixiJSv4/Audio5js video game (look in my signature).
We are starting a new game project on Monday using our new engine.
Can someone tell us how to get touch [x,y] on Android devices?
We tried to do this already, but never figured it out.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Hi,

We need screen coordinates when finger touches *any* part of the Android screen, not a sprite...

have you tried this for coordinates on the canvas? console.log("(" + event.data.global.x + ", " + event.data.global.y + ")");

If you want window coordinates not canvas coordinates you can also look into handling the touch events yourself.

Events on renderer.plugins.interaction cover the whole screen

renderer.plugins.interaction.on( 'pointerdown', () => { console.log('pointerdown') } );

How would I get [x,y] coordinates from above?

Thanks!

Look at the data that's supplied in that event, just like the event data of any interaction callback. It's of type http://pixijs.download/dev/docs/PIXI.interaction.InteractionData.html

Got it!

Thanks!

Sorry, I can't seem to figure this out?

I have:
 

PIXI.Point MouseCoordinates;

renderer.plugins.interaction.on( 'pointerdown', () => { MouseCoordinates = renderer.plugins.interaction.global } );

But it does not work?
Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

You can get the coordinates like this:

var MouseCoordinates;

app.renderer.plugins.interaction.on('pointerdown', function(event) {
    MouseCoordinates = event.data.global;

    console.log(MouseCoordinates);
});

Says: "undefined" in console?

Hmm, it works for me on both macbook and on iPhone.. If you copy and paste the above into a stock pixi project it doesn't work? Are you on latest Pixi version 4.5.4? Or maybe try to copy and paste it into the basic pixi example?I don't why it wort work for you thou, sorry..
