Classics Events Touch

[Nastro]

Hi everybody !

I think that my question is not new but i didn't found an answer :/

I try to use classics events touch on my smartphone on this example : http://www.babylonjs-playground.com/#OB341

Example :

One touch -> Pan

Two touch -> Rotation

and not One touch for rotation etc...

To resume sames events on Google Map ...

Thanks a lot for answers

I think you need to write your own camera (or modify an existing one) if you want a different behavior. At least this is what i did.
If you also need zoom then panning would be better with two fingers because it can be combined with the zoom. ... just like viewing a photo on your smartphone.

Hi @Kesshi -

If you could provide the source for your camera as well as a code example, this could be very useful to me as well as other users I'm certain. And just a thought... I can't imagine that it would take very long to create an extension to babylon.js. Adding extensions such as this to BJS is part of what makes the babylon.js framework as fantastic as it has become. So I know the entire community would appriciate such an act of good will.

If this doesn't already exist (which I'm not aware,) I would hope that at least one of the contributers to the framework might impliment in a future release. @Deltakosh...?  @davrous...? Anyone...?

Cheers,

Hello with 2.4 we introduced all you need to achieve this goal: http://doc.babylonjs.com/tutorials/Customizing_Camera_Inputs

@Deltakosh -

I love when I waste my time commenting on topics because I'm too lazy to read the documentation! Unless this hasn't been documented, although I doubt DK and others would have ommitted such a huge feature. Anyone else want to join my Ignorant Bastard's Club? I'm currently the founder and CEO.

@Nastro so you don't need to write your own camera but your own camera input.
Basically this is also what i did. In my framework i use the plain TargetCamera (without any camera inputs) and i wrote a custom camera controller to control the camera.
@dbawel Unfortunately i can't provide the source for my camera controller because its part of a commercial project. It also contains a lot of logic to increase the usability. For example the ArcRotateCamera always zooms towards the center of the view which is not so nice. In my case i zoom towars the point under the mouse cursor/finger. On a touch device the 2 finger pan/zoom behaves just like the pan/zoom of a photo on a smartphone ... but in 3d which makes it a bit more complicated for the implementation.

Hi @Kesshi -

I appriciate the response. I downloaded v2.4 and took a look at the new features as DK recommended. Perhaps some of these were introduced in v2.3, however the Universal Camera in v2.4 apparently supports more keyboard and mouse control events - which will allow me to add what I need for our purposes. We are building apps and not games currently; so for touchscreen tablets and devices, it appears much simpler to take advantage of some newer control support directly - especially for Ipad and Android tablets where there is no mouse - and of course, smartphones. 

So it's all good. Thanks to @davrous for adding the controls functionality. His timing is always impeccable and almost always appears to be in sync with our needs.

Cheers,
