Hello! First of all, you are assigning “action.pressed” to a label, which won’t work. What you want to do is check if the action is pressed.

Secondly, are you using “acquire_input_focus”?

Something like this is what you want:

function init(self)
	label.set_text("label", "untouched")
	msg.post(".", "acquire_input_focus")
end

function on_input(self, action_id, action)
	if action_id == hash("mouse_button_1") and action.released then
		label.set_text("label", "untouched")
	end

	if action_id == hash("mouse_button_1") and action.pressed then
		label.set_text("label", "touched")
	end
end
