fire button sticks (stays pushed) after being released in html5 virtual joystick

Welcome to our brand new Clickteam Community Hub! We hope you will enjoy using the new features, which we will be further expanding in the coming months.

A few features including Passport are unavailable initially whilst we monitor stability of the new platform, we hope to bring these online very soon. Small issues will crop up following the import from our old system, including some message formatting, translation accuracy and other things.

Thank you for your patience whilst we've worked on this and we look forward to more exciting community developments soon!

    Hi,
    I have begun a game in HTML5 that uses the virtual joystick and fire button 1. When fire button 1 is pushed and the character is standing still, the button stays depressed and you can't click it again until you move the joystick around. This seems like a bug. Anyone else experienced this or have any insight? It is a platform game and fire button 1 is used to cause the character to shoot objects. Thanks,
    Brett

    Nope : this is a problem with HTC : I looks track of the finger when it moves out of the scene. So you have to raise the finger and press down again. I still have not found a proper solution against this.

    Hi Francois,
    I just tested on an iPad and the button seems to work fine. It doesn't work on my Motorola droid mini. Is it an android thing? I did notice that on the iPad the game was lagging though. The character was moving very slowly. Is this a known issue? Thanks,

    The speed really depends on the device itself capabilities. HTML5 asks for a lot of resources from the phone, as it is a high level langage. So if you phone is not quite new, then the processor has a hard time coping with the game. Ar e you using a lot of fast loops and computations?
    I really need to work on this Profiler of mine, and publish at least an alpha version. This will solve everything.

    This appears to still be a problem. The fire button still sticks. I am not using fastloops at all and few computations (just percentages). Is there anyway to fix this? Thanks,
    Brett
