ANDROID – 3 Onscreen Buttons. LEFT-RIGHT & JUMP. How do I code it?

[AmonParticipant]

I have 3 onscreen buttons in my game. 1 for going left, 1 for going right, and 1 for jumping. I’d like to be able to tap left or right buttons and also the jump button.

I can’t get anything to work. I need to be able to jump whilst going left or right.

Can any assistance be offered, please?

Have you opened the touchtest banana?

[AmonParticipant]

Yep. Still clueless.

Here’s a short example. Note that there is Touch.FingerDown but also Touch.FingerPressed and Touch.FingerReleased like with the mouse button. (Touch.FingerPressure too on some devices!)
