Topic: Drag with two fingers

Hello there!

I want to drag the map while zooming with two fingers, like Google maps does it. Is there an option for it?
If not, I can't find where you handle the touch input (when not connected to Fingers or EasyTouch), to add this option manually. In which script is the touch input handled?

Best,
Martin

Re: Drag with two fingers

Hello.

Something like:

using System;
using System.Reflection;
using UnityEngine;

public class DragOnSmoothZoom : MonoBehaviour
{
    private Vector2 lastInputPosition;
    private Vector2 inputPosition;
    private OnlineMapsControlBase control;
    private MethodInfo updatePosition;
    private FieldInfo lastInputField;
    private bool sendWrongTouchCount;

    private int OnGetTouchCount()
    {
        if (sendWrongTouchCount) return 1;

        if (Input.touchSupported)
        {
            if (Input.touchCount > 0) return Input.touchCount;
        }
        return Input.GetMouseButton(0) ? 1 : 0;
    }

    private void OnSmoothZoomBegin()
    {
        lastInputPosition = control.GetInputPosition();
        control.OnUpdateBefore += OnUpdateBefore;

        lastInputField.SetValue(control, control.GetInputPosition());
        control.UpdateLastPosition();
    }

    private void OnSmoothZoomFinish()
    {
        control.OnUpdateBefore -= OnUpdateBefore;

        lastInputField.SetValue(control, control.GetInputPosition());
        control.UpdateLastPosition();
    }

    private void OnUpdateBefore()
    {
        if (OnGetTouchCount() <= 1) return;

        inputPosition = control.GetInputPosition();
        if (lastInputPosition == inputPosition) return;

        lastInputField.SetValue(control, lastInputPosition);
        sendWrongTouchCount = true;
        updatePosition.Invoke(control, null);
        sendWrongTouchCount = false;

        lastInputPosition = inputPosition;
    }

    private void Start()
    {
        control = OnlineMapsControlBase.instance;
        control.OnSmoothZoomBegin += OnSmoothZoomBegin;
        control.OnSmoothZoomFinish += OnSmoothZoomFinish;
        control.OnGetTouchCount += OnGetTouchCount;

        Type controlType = typeof(OnlineMapsControlBase);
        updatePosition = controlType.GetMethod("UpdatePosition", BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic);
        lastInputField = controlType.GetField("lastInputPosition", BindingFlags.Instance | BindingFlags.NonPublic);
    }
}

Re: Drag with two fingers

Cool, this almost works. big_smile

But it jumps when starting the zoom/drag. My guess is that it takes the last inputPosition and centers the pinch to it, which leads to the jump. Any idea how to solve this?

Thank you!


EDIT: Ooops, the following code doesn't work.
Additionally I added the following lines. Otherwise when starting not at {0,0}, it jumps to the african atlantic.

if(lastInputPosition == Vector2.zero)
            lastInputPosition = OnlineMaps.instance.position;

Re: Drag with two fingers

Updated script in post #2 to not produce a million versions of the same script.
lastInputPosition contains the position of a mouse or touch, and not geographical coordinates.

Re: Drag with two fingers

Works like a charm now!
Thank you very much! smile

Now for me there is just one more thing that reduces the usability of the touch controls: Google maps has a smooth damping when zooming. This makes it much easier and faster to zoom in/out very quickly (and also adds a natural feel to it). Do you think it's also possible to implement this in Online Maps? (Should I have opened a new topic for this?)

Re: Drag with two fingers

"smooth damping" - do you mean inertia?
Yes, of course it is possible to implement.
It will take a couple of days (due to the release of Unity 2019.2).
