I am trying to add basic functionality on from tapping a mesh on-screen. I have set up my Space to look and work exactly like the “Studio: Detect Object Type On Tap” Sample Project from Jessica Sheng.
As far as I can tell, every single thing in my project is apples-to-apples. But no matter what I do, any time I tap/click anywhere on the screen, I get an error that says “ReferenceError: Touch is defined”. Can someone help me troubleshoot this? What are some of the first things I should be checking and verifying?
Happy to provide any code samples/screenshots as requested.
Sure! Thank you. Done.
You can find the main relevant script GoToPanelsOnTap on the TouchManager object. If you want it to be true 1:1 the Camera should be 3D instead of World AR. All I want to do is change Spaces when you tap on the maneki neko.
Hi @GeorgeButler , the project is called sawtelle-stories-interactive and the Space in question is called Tsujita-ManekiNeko, which I have set to being the Entry Space for now.
I have great news for you, we can simplify this a ton!
import * as ecs from '@8thwall/ecs'
const GoToPanelsOnTap = ecs.registerComponent({
name: 'GoToPanelsOnTap',
// TODO: enable maneki neko on meshfound/locationfound
// https://www.8thwall.com/docs/api/studio/events/xr/vps/
stateMachine: ({world, eid}) => {
ecs.defineState('go-to-panels')
.initial()
.listen(eid, ecs.input.SCREEN_TOUCH_START, () => {
world.spaces.loadSpace('Yamaguchi-Panels')
})
},
})
export {GoToPanelsOnTap}
All I had to do was put the component on the cat and it works as expected. PS: You probably want to move the Maneki Neko object to be a child of the VPS location. If you don’t then it won’t anchor to the location or show up when you scan the location with your phone.
Perfect, thanks so much @GeorgeButler . I figured it could be that simple, but I am still getting the hang of this API.
Two follow-up questions:
I did the reparenting you described, but now for some reason I can’t see the Maneki Neko in the Play Mode, even though clicking on it does the desired screen transition. Any idea why?
I am still getting spammed with ReferenceError: Touch is not defined messages in the console any time I touch the screen. This includes after I have switched to the new space. How do I get that to go away?
Oh, I see, now that it’s parented to the VPS it will only show the Maneki Neko when the location has been found. I figured that out with the debug controls. Cool!!
The question about the input error spam still remains, though.
