In Cocos2D for iPhone, I want the latest touch event to interrupt another and ignore the last touch. Let me know if I need to elaborate more, but basically my game consists of a lot of finger dragging, and if the player ever switched fingers, there may be some overlap, and for the way things are setup, it may detect it as a new touch.

I think I have things almost on the right track, but my third touch does not work correctly. For instance:

  • Touch A begins and held
  • Touch B begins and held
  • Touch A let go
  • Touch A begins and held <-This should interrupt Touch B

In my delegate I put [glView setMultipleTouchEnabled:YES]; because I believe I need multiple touches enabled.

In my CCLayer class with my added map and sprite I am using targeted touch delegate (i.e. ccTouchBegan NOT ccTouchesBegan, etc)

I am accessing a touch object with touch = [[[event allTouches] allObjects] objectAtIndex:0];, however I don't have much understanding what index is considered the latest touch or even a process to always get the latest touch.

  • \$\begingroup\$ as much as I know all touches keep their numbers until they end. consider the below senario: *touchA begin -> index 0 *touchB begin -> A = 0 , B = 1 *touchA end -> B = 1 *touchC begin -> C = 0 , B = 1 *touchB end -> C = 0 and their index is always the same for each of touchbegin ,touchmoved, and touch end. \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ Okay, maybe what I didn't understand was that when you do something like touch = [[[event allTouches] allObjects] objectAtIndex:0];, you're actually SETTING that touch to index 0? I thought that meant the touch equaled the touch event at index 0. \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ that means touch at index 0, but when the second touch starts and the first touch not ended yet cocos2d will store it in index 1 \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ So in the end, how can you prove what is the latest touch? \$\endgroup\$

Look at these links, they might help:

I would try to do it this way:

  1. store the events in a list
  2. examine this list in a function which is called after all input has been processed (there might be an event handler for it).
