How can i detect a button is pressed, not just clicked?

HI,

 

How can i detect a button is pressed, not just clicked?

 

That drives me mad. I can't figure out how it will work. With the keyboard it simply works. But with mouse and touch...meh.

 

Can someone help?

You can use Phaser signal "onInputDown" like this:

yourButton.onInputDown.add(function() { console.info('down'); }, this);

This will fire only one i clicked. Not if i keep the mouse button down. Or i do something wrong.

Then I advice you to use global var containing the state of the button and change its value in the listeners of the onInputDown and onInputUp signals.

 

So you can make use of this var in the update event of the game.
