Touch event help !!!!!

Hey Just Me,

You're close. We can use the TouchStartEvent and the TouchEndEvent to track whether our finger has swiped left or right. Take a look at the script in this answer to detect different swipes: https://lensstudio.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360000718643/comments/360000189083

To check whether a double tap has occurred, we can similarly track TouchStartEvent. This time, however, we track whether we've tapped recently. 

In the script below I put a reference to objectToToggle (in the object where this script is placed, in the Inspector panel, press the field "Object To Toggle" and select an object in the pop-up window). Then on the phone, when I double tap the screen, I am able to see the object toggle on and off. 

// -----JS CODE-----
// @input SceneObject objectToToggle

// Prevent default touch event from firing
global.touchSystem.touchBlocking = true;

// Options
var maxDelayBetweenDoubleTap = 1;

// State
var hasRecentlyTapped = false;

// Gets called when double tap occurs
function action() {
	script.objectToToggle.enabled = !script.objectToToggle.enabled;
}

var event = script.createEvent("TouchStartEvent");
event.bind(function(eventData){
	if (hasRecentlyTapped) {
		// If has recently tapped, then it's a double tap
		hasRecentlyTapped = false;
		action();
	} else {
		// Start the countdown to how long before previous tap is not recent enough
		delayedEvent.reset(maxDelayBetweenDoubleTap);		
		hasRecentlyTapped = true;
	}
});

var delayedEvent = script.createEvent("DelayedCallbackEvent");
delayedEvent.bind(function(eventData)
{
	hasRecentlyTapped = false;
});

Let me know if I can clarify anything. Can't wait to see what you come up with!

Cheers,

Jon
