UKismetInputLibrary::PointerEvent_GetTouchpadIndex

function Engine Blueprint Since unknown

#include "Kismet/KismetInputLibrary.h"

Access: public Specifiers: staticBlueprintPure

Description

Returns which touchpad generated this event, for platforms and controllers that expose more than one touch surface per user.

Caveats & Gotchas

• Meaningless on most platforms with a single touch surface or none at all — always 0 unless you're targeting hardware with multiple touchpads per controller.
• Not the same as the finger/pointer index — use PointerEvent_GetPointerIndex to distinguish simultaneous touches on the same pad.
