Can't get touch events to work properly

Jeroen · May 25, 2021, 9:03am

Hello, I’m struggling already for sometime with the following. I’m trying to create a click event that allso works on touch devices. I have things working in such a way that the objects are clickable with the mouse but on touch the objects seem to be only clickable when the mouse is hovering over a object and then when the object is being touched it is clickable. Also I noticed that when I click an object with the mouse (for now the function being called is opening up a new window) that when I return to the main window the object is still being selected and dragged/moved by the mouse until I click again. I tried already numerous things and watched many tutorials but I can’t figure things out. Still a newbie here so probably I’m just overlooking something simple (t least that is what i hope). Thanks in advance for looking into this and here is my code:

// Model
let myModel;
let modelPath_MyModel = '/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/new_brain.glb';
let isLoaded = false;

// Material
let texturePath_Enviroment = '/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Matcap-test34-min.png';
let mat_Enviroment;
let mat_GlassMatCapBack;
let mat_GlassMatCapFront;

hi @Jeroen
I see you have orbit control to explore your scene and you desire tap/click something, for desktop and mobile… correct?

I suggest you an approach, a different event management between desktop and mobile devices (expecially iOS), I’m not sure that’s the best one solution but in a similar problem I had it worked.
After a device detection, if mobile device, I’ve used pointermove as raycast trigger, using the delta from start touch and event.pageCoords to understand when a user tap to click and when to orbit

Detecting device (probably obsolete! but you can find updated code online)

let isMobile = false;

2)Separating behaviour
The code it’s not complete, it’s another project, but i hope that thanks to the variable names you can understand the concept

    container.style.touchAction = 'none';// in my project works better
      if (isMobile) {
        container.addEventListener('pointerdown', (event) => {
          firstTouch = true;
          startX = event.pageX;
          startY = event.pageY;
          isSwiping = false;
        });
        container.addEventListener('pointermove', (event) => {
          if (firstTouch) {
            startX = event.pageX;
            startY = event.pageY;
            firstTouch = false;
          } else {
            const diffX = Math.abs(event.pageX - startX);
            const diffY = Math.abs(event.pageY - startY);
            if (diffX < delta && diffY < delta ) {
              onDocumentTouchClick(event); //your callback
            }
          }
          isSwiping = true; 
        });
        container.addEventListener('pointerup', (event) => {//try anyway for pointerup, it's not a problem and for some Android it works
          const diffX = Math.abs(event.pageX - startX);
          const diffY = Math.abs(event.pageY - startY);
          if (diffX < delta && diffY < delta) {
            onDocumentMouseClick(event); //you can youse the same
          }
          firstTouch = true;
        });
      } else {
        container.addEventListener('pointerdown', (event) => {
          isSwiping = false;
          startX = event.pageX;
          startY = event.pageY;
        });
        container.addEventListener('pointermove', () => {
          isSwiping = true;
        });
        container.addEventListener('pointerup', (event) => {
          const diffX = Math.abs(event.pageX - startX);
          const diffY = Math.abs(event.pageY - startY);
          if (diffX < delta && diffY < delta) {
            onDocumentMouseClick(event);
          }
        });
      }

I hope it helps
