Current touch location variables

[Petrichor]

A feature I’d like to see in Hopscotch is:

In when pressed rules, local variables showing the current location of the finger that started that rule.

I’d use it for this type of project:

Projects where I want to track multiple fingers at once

Here are some examples of Hopscotch code that could be improved if we had this:

pinch to zoom, looking around and moving at the same time

I definitely need that

I’m a bit confused. D’you mean like “when is pressed, set text to last touch x/y?”

[Crosbyman64]

Last Touch X/Y can only register 1 touch location at a time.

They’re talking about being able to register multiple touch locations at once.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think this topic is similar to this:

Access to Multitouch in code

A feature I’d like to see in Hopscotch is: Ways to access multitouch in code, in addition to single touch I’d use it for this type of project: It could be used for drawing pads (pinch to zoom on a drawing, two-finger tap to undo, rotate with two fingers) video games (zoom in on a map) Here are some examples of Hopscotch code that could be improved if we had this: I would like to use it to try and code these functionalities: pinch to zoom twist to rotate Here is an example design I’ve made…

it does seem similar, but i feel this idea would work better.

Similar, but this one would be essentially a local variable called “touch (point) X” and “touch Y”, which would be specific to the rule

Cool. It’ll be interesting to see what users would do or make if this suggestion was considered.
