I have a big problem with multi touch on gamesalad.

I made 4 images to explain my problem since it was too difficult to explain in words. All 4 images are of the same problem. I also created a little example game so you can test the explanation of the images yourself too better understand the problem.

Example 1:

Example 2:

Example 3: This doesn't happen exactly the same in the example game (it does on my actual game) but close enough.

    Yes multitouch is very hard to do. Checkout my video thread I talk about multitouch and how it works.

    I think if we have an understanding on what type of game this is and how it is played it would help. If you can add some text identifiers to the pic, it would also help.

    When you say hand, is the yellow bar the hand? Also when you say touch 2, do you mean one touch for control (left control pad) and the second touch being your action button (right button)? It could just be that there is a conflict with the control rules/behaviors.

    I have this problem in a game im currently working on. What I did was make an actor, 2 real attributes, and 1 integer attribute. Then when touch is pressed on that actor I change the real attributes to the X and Y position of the touch (I used mouse position X and Y), and also when touch is pressed on that actor change the integer attribute to whatever you want. Then on your rotating actor you can say when the integer attribute is = to whatever you set, rotate to the positions of the 2 real attributes.

    I don't think this is the best way to do this, but it's all I can think of.

    Sorry Doomed, I think I'm doing something wrong because it still doesn't work like that.

    I made better pics and an example game to go with the pics, so that everyone can better understand my problem.
