Hover button Candy Crush style

[McTomas]

Hi,

In my current project I got the task to create hover state button like candy crush buttons where:
- user press down the button -> moves out the button (and the button goes up) -> moves back in to the button (button goes down) -> user releases the button (button is activated)
You can check this movement here -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-YXqNoC54g Because it’s a video about a buggy function the reaction is the the contrary as intended but you can get a clue of what is the objective.

Well I try to do this with tk2dUIHoveItem or hover states, but I had no success because hover states only works with the mouse and my game is for the mobile devices.
To solve this I added this lines of code in line 308 of tk2dUIItem.cs on the function public void CurrentOverUIItem(tk2dUIItem overUIItem)

Code: [Select]

else if(!isPressed)
{
Press(overUIItem.Touch);
if (parentUIItem != null)
{
parentUIItem.CurrentOverUIItem(overUIItem);
}
}

I would kindly ask if this effect could be added to 2D toolkit (if a flag like the hover is) so we could have cool effect like candy crush does. If not on every update I’ll add that code

Cheers

I wouldn't do it this way. If you want to do it properly, the best place to do it is in tk2dUIManager.CheckInputs / CheckMultiTouchInputs. You can modify global behaviour that way without hacking it into each control type. It probably shouldn't be the similar to the hover behaviour.

Yeah I tried to do it on the UIManager, but with no success. I use on all my UI Items the tk2dUIItem so it works perfectly in my game.
