Why event:stopPropagation() doesn't work for me?

Apollo14

Hi guys!
I have black overlay to prevent buttons underneath it being clicked.
Why it doesn't stop event.touch propagation? It detects touches, but they propagate further below.

--BlackOverlay.lua: BlackOverlay=Core.class(Sprite)   function BlackOverlay:init(overlayColor) local color=overlayColor or 0 self.pixel=Pixel.new(color,1,720,1280); --self.pixel:setAlpha(0) self:addChild(self.pixel)   self:addEventListener(Event.TOUCHES_END, function(event) if self.pixel:hitTestPoint(event.touch.x,event.touch.y) then event:stopPropagation(); print"touched pixel" end end) end

--Main.lua: sceneManager = SceneManager.new({ ["scene1"] = scene1, ["scene2"] = scene2, ["scene3"] = scene3, ["scene4"] = scene4, ["scene5"] = scene5, }) stage:addChild(sceneManager) sceneManager:changeScene("scene1")   BLACKOVERLAY=BlackOverlay.new() stage:addChild(BLACKOVERLAY)

oleg

дотики припиняються лише на ті об'єкти які нижче в ієрархії сцени, а на ті об'єкти які вище -дотики не припиняються..

переконайся що вище спрайту нічого немає

також додай подію нажаття(click down) і там теж пропиши event:stopPropagation

scenemanager is lower than black overlay, but the touch still reaches scenemanager

зроби змінну pause=true , і вимикай обробку подій коли вона увімкнена, -я таку обробку додав прямо у свій клас кнопок

коли дадаєш оверлей вмикай змінну, коли прибираєш вимикай

@oleg such solutions will create many inconveniences later on, interface in this game is very complicated

Go to gideros coding easy by @ar2rsawseen and copy lines from 571 to 601 somewhere in your project, then you can use sprite:ignoreTouches and sprite:enableTouches

Here: https://github.com/ar2rsawseen/GiderosCodingEasy/blob/master/GiderosCodingEasy.lua

@pie wow actually this whole library is pretty handy

Actually putting a sprite layer to stop event propagation is so common that I think gideros should have a simpler api to do it

@Apollo14 yes it is, but it's pretty old and some method could be no longer compatible with current gideros api (I am thinking about textfield additions). Plus it mess up with setters and getters and it makes it incompatible with Layers lib by nicke and if I recall with some other things too.. Something still works though, I think that the best way to use it is to extract the code you need and use just that (sprite:hide and sprite:show are pretty useful too)

Maybe you should be using "TOUCHES_BEGIN" because if you are using TOUCHES_END then other objects have already received events.

Maybe try something like this (not tested)...

--BlackOverlay.lua: BlackOverlay=Core.class(Sprite)   function BlackOverlay:init(overlayColor) local color=overlayColor or 0 self.pixel=Pixel.new(color,1,720,1280); --self.pixel:setAlpha(0) self:addChild(self.pixel)   self:addEventListener(Event.TOUCHES_BEGIN, self.gobbleTouches(self) end) self:addEventListener(Event.TOUCHES_MOVE self.gobbleTouches(self) end) self:addEventListener(Event.TOUCHES_END, self.gobbleTouches(self) end)   function BlackOverlay:gobbleTouches(e) if self.pixel:hitTestPoint(e.touch.x,e.touch.y) then e:stopPropagation(); print"touched pixel" end end

Hi @hgy29 !
Imho besides 'Sprite:ignoreTouches()' it could be great to have 'Sprite:destroy()' call (remove all children, and children of children, with whatever listeners and timers they have)
Is it a good thing or it may cause problems somewhere?

hgy29

The problem with a Sprite:destroy() call is about lua references. If you still have references to deleted sprites in your lua app, then trying to use them will lead to a crash. I think it is better to leave memory managment as it is, and have gideros free resources when lua no longer needs them.
