Input.GetTouch

Parameters

Returns

Touch Touch details in the struct.

Description

Call Input.GetTouch to obtain a Touch struct.

Input.GetTouch returns Touch for a selected screen touch (for example, from a finger or stylus). Touch describes the screen touch. The index argument selects the screen touch.

Input.touchCount provides the current number of screen touches. If Input.touchCount is greater than zero, the GetTouch index sets which screen touch to check. Touch returns a struct with the screen touch details. Each extra screen touch uses an increasing Input.touchCount.

GetTouch returns a Touch struct. Use zero to obtain the first screen touch. As an example, Touch includes position in pixels.

No temporary variables are allocated.

	}

    {

            }
        }
    }

A third example:

function Update() {
	for (var i: int = 0; i < Input.touchCount; ++i) {
		if (Input.GetTouch(i).phase == TouchPhase.Began) {

			// Create a particle if hit
			if (Physics.Raycast(ray)) {
				Instantiate(particle, transform.position, transform.rotation);
			}
		}
	}
}

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour
{
    public GameObject particle;
    void Update()
    {
        for (int i = 0; i < Input.touchCount; ++i)
        {
            if (Input.GetTouch(i).phase == TouchPhase.Began)
            {
                // Construct a ray from the current touch coordinates
                Ray ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(Input.GetTouch(i).position);

                // Create a particle if hit
                if (Physics.Raycast(ray))
                {
                    Instantiate(particle, transform.position, transform.rotation);
                }
            }
