Two player touch screen

Question

I'm trying to create a game in which two players play on the same device. One player (hereinafter Player1) will control a character while the other player (hereinafter Player2) spawns enemies. Player 1 moves with a simple raycast script to follow the finger. It is detected as Mouse(0). Inside a rectangle that is the bottom half of the screen, a Mouse(1) hit makes the Player1 attack. This all works just fine. The issue comes when trying to spawn the enemies. I cannot work out touchId or get it to identify as any mouse buttons when I click the spawn button. I have tried GUI.button, GUItexture, and detecting touches within a rectangle. If Player(1) is moving, Player2 cannot spawn enemies. I am coding in C#. I can post scripts if needed. Thanks in advance.

Are you using code like this? I just managed to get my working for two player touch input.

 if (Input.touchCount == 1) {
             Touch touch = Input.GetTouch(0); 

 else if (Input.touchCount == 2) {
             Touch touch = Input.GetTouch(0); 
             Touch touch2 = Input.GetTouch(1);

Hope i helped you :) took me few days

That one though only works with two fingers. If you put it in a for loop as the documentation says, you can detect as many fingers as your screen can handle.

Thanks for the quick response. I am not home at the moment but will try this and let you know my results as soon as I get home.

I'm running into an issue in that the multitouch should work across multiple scripts. I am also not sure what to do with the touches once i have them. Would you do something like if(Input.touches[touch].phase == Touchphase.began) { or something else? I can't seem to figure it out.
