WHY DO ALL THE GOOD EXTENSIONS HAVE THAT ONE FAILED THAT STOPS THEM FROM GETTING MERGED?! I really needed that extension and didn't want to have to manually load it unsandboxed...

the "one failed" is just formatting and it gets fixed during a merge session. there won't be any merges until a week or so from now.

[Skyhigh173]

I will add a block <hovered by any fingers?>

And hopefully it will merge within a month lol

Can you add blocks like 'touching a finger' or 'current finger touching' like in sensing+

[Skyhigh173]

Yeah

I am still finding how target.isTouchingPoint works

[Skyhigh173]

@LSPECTRONIZTAR here it is

[LilyMakesThings]

Seriously hope this gets merged relatively quickly

[LSPECTRONIZTAR]

Yeah we need this (me specifically)

(or someone can just ask garbomuffin to merge it in discord like i did for the soundexpanded thing)

What's the issue with sensing plus? No-one seems to like it.

We do like it it's just @David-Orangemoon forgot to add MultiTouch WebAPI for iOS or something idk (sensing+ doesn't work for iOS)

I support this extension if they somehow figured out the cryptic safari touch api (which doesn't have features it says it has) if so then I fully support it.

[David-Orangemoon]

@Skyhigh173 Ill test it on my chromebook. The only thing that prevent me from testing sensing+'s mobile touch was the lack of ios devices in my area.

You mean you'll update Sensing+ to work for iOS?!? :D

no this exists now.

[CubesterYT]

Why update sensing+ if it's already a big mess, it's best for the extension to start being split up.

The one thing I'm not sure about here is how there is a "number of fingers" and "number of fingers ID" -- at the very least the names need to be clarified and ideally a docs page added. Are people expected to just loop up to ID and use "finger ( ) exists?"?

What if:
finger 1 pressed
finger 2 pressed
finger 1 released

are finger 2 supposed to be finger 1 now?

[Drago-Cuven]

overhaul idea. (red means should be removed/replaced/renamed)

[Skyhigh173]

should I test on my Chromebook for the category "laptop with touch screen"?

yes

seems to work correctly for the most part, but I noticed something.

lets say you put 2 fingers down. if you let go of finger 1 and not 2, the project freezes until you lift finger 2.

What do you mean by "freeze"?

Can you help me to test this version: 79db0fb ?

this works perfectly well, but this extension is beaten out by the others which have more features.

[Skyhigh173]

@Drago-Cuven i can add those blocks, just tell

the reason is that Garbo made the extension broken😵

[Skyhigh173]

Ok I realised that I have an update which I haven't pushed yet

Ig it's better to open a new pr

and wait for 6 months to merge

[Drago-Cuven]

@DNin01 's touches #1608 and @Sesena0u0 's mobile events #1617 to be specific. hey, y'all should all work together on one big mobile support ext.

[Skyhigh173]

For real

[Drago-Cuven]

For real

did you ever bring the other blocks into your extension?

[hammouda101010]

that's a very cool extension!

[Thebloxers998]

Bro, this is the BEST extension, I really was looking for a ez way for multi touch

[Thebloxers998]

Super cool ngl

Did you fix what garbo broke. (as you say). If so I will do a review.

this version works: 79db0fb ?

[Brackets-Coder]

I'm closing this, @CubesterYT if I remember correctly the already-existing Sensing+ extension got fixed and multi-touch now works on iOS?

[CubesterYT]

I think it's best if we start moving away from the bloatware that is sensing+

[LSPECTRONIZTAR]

And also there's a problem: If user tap in a very short period of time and release (let's say < 0.03s), there will have a chance that it can't be detected by the scripts This is a serious problem if you are trying to make (mobile) rhythm games

as someone who's been trying to make a mobile rhythm game this is a huge problem lmao

That's one advantage of #1608.

[Brackets-Coder]

This is all still part of the bigger sensing+ / multi-touch issue...

Dismissing old approvals so that moving forward everything follows #2327
