Re: [Virtools] Touchscreen app

With respect to the script needed by Richard:
Althought there is a PushButton BB, I can't set it to behave as "while the
mouse button is down".
Thus the only way I see is the "usual" one:
Use a Mouse Waiter BB wich trigger a 2D Picking BB. Test the returned Sprite
with respect to your button.
If equal, trigger a While BB. This BB should received the Left Button (Bool)
from the Mouse Waiter BB.
Then loop your action (Trans. Rot.) to be activated by the While BB.
If needed ask for a script I am ready to send you.
