UKismetInputLibrary::PointerEvent_IsTouchEvent

function Engine Blueprint Since unknown

#include "Kismet/KismetInputLibrary.h"

Access: public Specifiers: staticBlueprintPure

Description

Returns true if this pointer event originated from a touch input rather than a mouse.

Caveats & Gotchas

• Some platforms synthesize mouse events from touch input at the OS level, in which case this may still read false — test on the target platform rather than assuming touch is always flagged.
• Useful for branching UI behavior (e.g. bigger hit targets) between touch and desktop mouse without maintaining separate input paths.
