Description

This is a specialised read only boolean that determines whether a player is using a touch screen (as used on tablets and phones) to input commands. Use this to diversify your controls or display text explaining the controls for each type of controller.

Example Code

WHEN [is using touch] DO [Display][text: Press B]

…WHEN [else] DO [Display][text:Press 1]

Modifiers

None

Other Uses

Quick tip. Touch and Controller use the same display buttons, so instead of specifying different instructions for all 3 types of controls:

WHEN [is using keyboard or mouse] DO…instructions for keyboard and mouse

…WHEN [else] DO …instructions for controller/touch
