Is there a way to enable / disable .touch?

Is there a way to enable / disable .touch events like you can with buttons?

I would like to do something like object:setEnabled(false) to turn touch events off temporarily!

Thanks,

Gullie

Hi @gullie667,

You could remove the touch event listener(s), but an easier way is to probably just set a boolean property on the object(s) like .canTouch, and then in the touch listener function, just do a conditional check on that and if it’s false, return and effectively nullify the event.

Take care,

Good enough. Thanks for the help.
