How to make touchscreen controls

So I'm done with my shooter game, but have to go from keyboard controls to touchscreen controls. I have all my boolean variables for buttons set up, but just want to make sure I am using the right behaviors. If, for controls, I have "if touch pressed," that works for the iPhone, and not just the mouse, right? I know it is different from the mouse function... I just want to make sure that it would work for the touchsreen. :)

    Mouse button down will set off the rule behaviours if the touch/mouse is pressed anywhere over any actor.

    Touch is pressed will set off the rule behaviours only when that specific actor is pressed.

    Yeah that should work fine, if you're interested I had recently published a little tutorial about this exact subject.
