How to make an object untappable?

Audio and Graphics
#1

Hello.
I have an image and I want to be untappable after tap the image once.
What way do you suggest to implement it?

The simplest way is to probably include a property in the object that prevents future touch events, for instance:

local function touchEvent( event )
    if event.phase == "ended" then
        if not event.target.isTouched then
            event.target.isTouched = true
            -- do stuff
        end
    end
    return true
end

You can also removEventListener from the object to eliminate the event completely, but this can sometimes be a bit tricky specially if there are touch events, or physics so it’s better to use a property like XeduR said then remove the event listener when it is appropriate

local arefehObject

local function arefehObject_Tap(event)
         print(1)
         arefehObject:removeEventListener("tap",arefehObject_Tap)
end

arefehObject = display.newCircle(display.contentCenterX,display.contentCenterY,150)
arefehObject:setFillColor(1,0,0)
arefehObject:addEventListener("tap",arefehObject_Tap)

Thank you for your help. This idea taught me a good point.

Thank you for your help. Since there is no touch event and physics , this snippet of code came in handy for me. Thanks again!
