Question

My game has a joystick and a jump button. When I hold down the jump button and move the joystick, the joystick does not function until I release the jump button.

You may have a logic issue with your input handler.

Each finger gets an index on a first come first serve basis. I assume you have an xy area for the UI input. You need to register which finger is using that interface and it could change depending on the order of when the finger touched the screen.

#jump and move
Index 0 touches jump and holds, index one touches joystick.

#move and jump
Or index 0 touches joystick, and index 1 touches jump.

thank you. I got help and got it resolved
