    its quite a different request from the topic (edit not anymore! seems its changed) but touch can exist as total number of fingers touching the active screen (Device->touch count)

    or it can be the specific touch-
    touch1 x+y
    touch2 x+y
    etc

    1 being the first finger that touched the screen 2 being when 2 fingers are on screen, the second finger's position - there is also touch being released and touch pressed which are conditions found when making a new rule condition that is not an attribute

    basically for the thing you want to put on screen make a rule that says (when (integer) attribute 'whatever' is 1)
    move, fade in or change attribute or *interpolate x+y position to
    otherwise
    move/fade out or whatever

    then rule for your touch button : when pressed change the integer whatever to (whatever+1)%2

    that will change whatever to 1 then 0 then 1 then 0 everytime it is pressed, when its 1 the object will move blah blah
