Blatantly Wrong (solved)

Ok, this is my last post for a while on this, but I have been reading the docs but I am not getting my iPhone commands to work.
Example, this behavior....
I removed the if dragging condition like in the docs, however, I still get no echo return from any of the iPhone Gesture commands. Odd I am sure. I also popped them into the game.cs and I receive no echo commands when running on the simulator. If I am doing something blatantly wrong, please pass along your knowledge.
Example, this behavior....
if (!isObject(gesturesBehavior))
{
%template = new BehaviorTemplate(gesturesBehavior);
%template.friendlyName = "gesturesBehavior";
%template.behaviorType = "gesturesBehavior";
%template.description = "gesturesBehavior";
%template.addBehaviorField(centerOnMouse, "Center the object on the mouse", bool, false);
%template.addBehaviorField(toggleDragState, "Start dragging on one click, stop dragging on the next click", bool, false);
}
function gesturesBehavior::onBehaviorAdd(%this)
{
%this.owner.setUseMouseEvents(true);
}
// This callback is invoked when the cloud is touched or clicked
function gesturesBehavior::onMouseDown(%this, %modifier, %worldPos)
{
echo("onMouse Down::::::::::");
echo("onMouse Down:::::");
echo("onMouse Down::::");
echo("onMouse Down:::");
echo("onMouse Down::");
$cloud.dragging = true;
}
function gesturesBehavior::onMouseUp(%this, %modifier, %worldPos)
{
echo("onMouse Up:::");
echo("onMouse Up:::::");
echo("onMouse Up::::::");
echo("onMouse Up::::::::");
echo("onMouse Up:::::::::::");
$cloud.dragging = false;
}
function gesturesBehavior::oniPhoneTouchDown( %touchCount, %touchX, %touchY )
{
echo("iPhone Touch Down");
echo("iPhone Touch Down");

echo("iPhone Touch Down");
echo("iPhone Touch Down");
echo("iPhone Touch Down");
echo("iPhone Touch Down");
}
function gesturesBehavior::oniPhoneTouchUp( %touchCount, %touchX, %touchY )
{
echo("iPhone Touch Up");
echo("iPhone Touch Up");
echo("iPhone Touch Up");
echo("iPhone Touch Up");
echo("iPhone Touch Up");

echo("iPhone Touch Up");
echo("iPhone Touch Up");
}
function gesturesBehavior::oniPhoneTouchMove( %touchCount, %touchX, %touchY )

echo("iPhone Touch Move");
echo("iPhone Touch Move");
echo("iPhone Touch Move");
echo("iPhone Touch Move");
echo("iPhone Touch Move");
echo("iPhone Touch Move");
echo("iPhone Touch Move");
echo("iPhone Touch Move");
echo("%this.owner.position" @ %this.owner.position);
// Get X value from the %touchX variable
%xPosition = getWord(%touchX, 0);
// Get Y value from the %touchY variable
%yPosition = getWord(%touchY, 0);
// Convert the touchscreen coordinates to world coordinates
%worldPoint = sceneWindow2D.getWorldPoint(%xPosition, %yPosition);
// Now that we have world coordinates, set the cloud to that position
%this.owner.setPosition(%worldPoint);
%this.owner.setDamping(10);
echo("on iPhone Move");
echo("%worldPoint" @ %worldPoint);

I recompiled everything. Cleaned, a few times, tested on both simulator and device but no dice.

They are stand alone functions. They are not a part of any object. They are not member functions. They exist on their own, so you cannot do function gesturesBehavior::oniPhoneTouchUp.

Is there a reason you rewrote the code for the oniPhoneXXX functions?Quote:
If you look through the rest of game.cs, you will see there are iPhone specific touch functions already written. They exist, but are blank:
// Called when the user touches the screen in any way
// %touchCount - How many fingers are touching
// %touchX - Screen coordinate of the touch on the X axis
// %touchY - Screen coordinate of the touch on the Y axis
function oniPhoneTouchDown( %touchCount, %touchX, %touchY )
{
}
// As soon as the user stops touching the screen
// %touchCount - How many fingers were removed from the screen
// %touchX - Where the finger left the screen on the X axis
// %touchY - Where the finger left the screen on the Y axis
function oniPhoneTouchUp( %touchCount, %touchX, %touchY )
{
}
// Called continuously when a user has touched the screen, then started dragging
// %touchCount - How many fingers are currently moving across the screen
// %touchX - Screen coordinate of the dragging on the X axis
// %touchY - Screen coordinate of the dragging on the Y axis
function oniPhoneTouchMove( %touchCount, %touchX, %touchY )
{
}
// Called when the user quickly taps the screen
// %touchCount - How many fingers tapped the screen
// %touchX - Screen coordinate of the tap on the X axis
// %touchY - Screen coordinate of the tap on the Y axis
function oniPhoneTouchTap ( %touchCount, %touchX, %touchY )
{
}
Unlike onMouseDown, the above functions do not inherently know what object is being touched. They just provide coordinates.
They are stand alone functions. They are not a part of any object. They are not member functions. They exist on their own, so you cannot do function gesturesBehavior::oniPhoneTouchUp.

A. I thought I had asked that and said it did not matter. I did it thinking, that it might be easier for the engine to work if specific objects, blah blah blah... I get you.
B. I have it running in my game.cs as well tho and with echo calls, those calls are not being shown.
:?

Oh ok well two things. A. I thought I had asked that and said it did not matter. I did it thinking, that it might be easier for the engine to work if specific objects, blah blah blah... I get you.
B. I have it running in my game.cs as well tho and with echo calls, those calls are not being shown.

Do me a favor and look at your projectFiles/common/commonConfig.xml file. Do you see the following:<iFeatureUseMultitouch>1</iFeatureUseMultitouch>

Another quick question, and forgive me if this seems basic, but how are you checking to see if they are not being called?
#7
It was set to "0". Odd, as in the editor I had set it to on ("multiTouch Support").
Anyhow, that did cheers Michael, sorry for raising any unnecessary flags I sure you are pulling your hair out enough already.

How to see if they are NOT being called?
Um, well I am simply using echoes. If I never see the echo returned I assume it is not being called.

Yup. You're right. Just wanted to make sure you were looking for the echos while debugging on a device and not on a desktop. Looks like you are good to go.
