How do I react to a touch on my object only?

[Tomas_Westerlund]

Hi,
I just downloaded Defold and have been reading a little bit.

For the moment I have an input with a mouse_trigger that sends actions “touch” when MOUSE_BUTTON_1 is pressed.

I have a wheel.container that contains 4 containers.
Each container contains a script but the on_input function gets called all the time (every time a press is done), which probably is how it was intended but I would like to do something on the clicked container (and not the rest of the containers). How would one implement so that the on_input is only listened to when there is a click on that certain game object?

function on_input(self, action_id, action) if action_id == hash( "touch" ) and action.released then print("Touch released!") end end

Best regards,
Tomas

This is discussed in this post (and in that post I posted a link to another post about the same subject). You should be able to figure out how to do it, and why it is not always as trivial as one might think, somewhere in those to posts):

Right now I'm doing like this: `function on_input(self, action_id, action) if action_id == input_mouse and action.pressed then local spritePos = go.get_world_position("myGo") – getting my go position local mouseX = action.x – getting mouse position local mouseY = action.y local rightBoundary = spritePos.x - 200 --200 is half the width of my go local leftBoundary = spritePos.x + 200 local upperBoundary = spritePos.y + 200 local downBoundary = spritePos.y - 200 if mo…
