Help with TOUCH event wanted...

I am new at this, so excuse my ignorance and my humble questions.

I have this event --> onTouch Object --> System Create another Object.

The problem is System still creates several instances while Touch persists.

I can't add a second condition (Trigger Only Once) to this one.

I tried the Is touching Object with Trigger Only Once. I would like for it to create just one instance of the new object regardless of however I touch the screen.

I know a variable would be a solution but I am having a hard time dealing with that.

Anyone can help, please?

Thank you.

I can't seem to replicate the issue. Uploading a CAPX would be good so we can see exactly what you're doing.

On touched is a trigger and naturally triggers once only. There must be a problem with logic elsewhere, are you able to post capx?

Try using: On Tap Object

I am using the mouse to click (test) on the touch event and it's creating several instances.

I didn't want several instances created regardless of the number of clicks. In this example, if you keep on clicking it will reproduce it until you stop.

Thanks for the help.

Doesn't work. Not for what I want. Thank you, though.

Oh right I thought you meant multiple in one click. You can just use a variable as a condition like this : https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/495 ... htext.capx

I don't think I have to upload the project to XDK and install APK on device in order to test TOUCH, or do I?

I am hoping it can be tested with the mouse click.

I have read a lot from the Manual and Forums but I certainly didn't take the time to find out about that. Hoping for a quick answer here.

Excuse my ignorance. Thanks.

You could just add a condition to your touch event checking that Object.Count = 0

Downloading newer version. Sorry. My bad!

That would be with a variable, wouldn't it? I am looking into that. I am still getting around with variables.

Can you shine a light?

Thanks.

Yeah object.count is a better condition if you're planning on doing this for loads of objects.
