Question
Hey, im making a cat raising game, where there is a mechanic of “patting” the cat to increase “Bonding points” over time. The player has to tap/pat on the cat, to increase the value of a progress bad. It is basically a Quick time event like system where the taps have to be timed correctly based on a moving QTE bar on top, much like the fishing system in Dredge.
The issue is that, during development and testing i had set up a simple left click input action and ti worked. But now im trying to implement it for touch response , since the game is intended for mobile, it wont work. I have also set up most of the UI control nodes in the scene to mouse flag ignore , since i heard that might also not let your inputs pass onto the sprite. The cat sprite has a area2d setup with pickable on. And im connecting the area2d interaction through :
” func _on_patpat_area_input_event(viewport, event, shape_idx):
if event is InputEventScreenTouch and event.pressed:
print(“Touched”) “
I have attached the full code below, and also a screenshot of the tree in case that have some issue with this.
Thanks for your time
