Hello Verge3D team!

We’ve noticed something that may be a bug today. We were using the get_event_property puzzle to get the values of pageX and pageY and identify the exact location of a mouse click. That worked just fine, but we were monitoring mouseup event for that, and we discovered that it wasn’t working in the case of mobile, where we should be using touchstart and touchend instead.

The problem is that when we tried it with touchend, the values for pageX and pageY return NaN, as if the puzzle wasn’t implemented for mobile. Is that the case, or is there a limitation with the mobile technology that does not provide those values? If it is not a limitation, any chance this could be solved in the near future? :)

Thank you!

Yes, it works differently with touch events. See for example here. I agree that we should solve this in the future.

Wondering if this was ever fixed and I just missed that thread or is it something that will not be addressed?

Hi,

Actually, this was supported long time ago by introducing the “touches” event. Here is a basic snippet that works on both desktop and mobile devices:
