Multitouch implementation

[SideriticTax10]

Hey everyone, I recently got into defold and so far I've been enjoying using this library, I just have a question. Is druid suitable for mobile controls? I tried implementing it but I can't get it to work. Here's a part of my gui_script :

function init(self)
	self.druid = druid.new(self)

	-- Initialize buttons
	self.controls = {}
	self.controls.right = self.druid:new_button("control_right")
	self.controls.left = self.druid:new_button("control_left")
	self.controls.jump = self.druid:new_button("control_jump")

	-- Disable animations and add generic listeners
	for name, button in pairs(self.controls) do

		button.on_pressed:subscribe(function ()
			msg.post("/player", "move_".. name, {pressed = true, released = false})
		end)

		button.on_click:subscribe(function ()
			msg.post("/player", "move_".. name, {pressed = false, released = true})
		end)

		button.on_click_outside:subscribe(function ()
			msg.post("/player", "move_".. name, {pressed = false, released = true})
		end)

Buttons work on their own with no problems. I added a print statement and debugged my game. Multitouch seems to be registering fine when I don't press any Druid button. (It prints each touch position, but only when I press anywhere on the screen other than a Druid button).
Anyway I've looked into the API and added this to my game.project

[druid]
input_text = text
input_touch = touch
input_marked_text = marked_text
input_key_esc = key_esc
input_key_back = key_back
input_key_enter = key_enter
input_key_backspace = key_backspace
input_multitouch = touch_multi
input_scroll_up = mouse_wheel_up
input_scroll_down = mouse_wheel_down
input_key_left = key_left
input_key_right = key_right
input_key_lshift = key_lshift
input_key_lctrl = key_lctrl
input_key_lsuper = key_lsuper

And set up my game.input_binding accordingly:

mouse_trigger {
  input: MOUSE_BUTTON_1
  action: "touch"
}
touch_trigger {
  input: TOUCH_MULTI
  action: "touch_multi"
}

No changes unfortunately. So I just wanted to ask if I'm missing something or is Druid not suitable for handling mobile multitouch controls?

Hello! Yea, Druid is not designed for multitouch simultaneous controls, but you can handle multitouch controls in specific components if you wish to.

Here is example which is should show how you can implement this - https://insality.github.io/druid/?example=ui_example_on_screen_control

Basically, you create a custom component, where you will handle all the user inputs manually, with the multitouch support. Usually it requires for small amount of components in your game
