Setup

Import the asset and locate the TouchEffects prefabs folder (Assets → OctantaStudio → TouchEffectSystem → Prefabs → TouchEffects).

Add an effect prefab to your Canvas, for example, the TouchCircle for simple touch response.

Assign Target Canvas in component or it will be auto-detected.

Check if the Input Controller component inside the prefab matches your Input System (Old/New). See Core Components > InputController.

The asset is ready to use immediately after Canvas setup. Run the scene to test.

RecommendedUnpack prefab.

RecommendedOpen the Glow Material set in the TouchGlowUI component to experiment with the effect color or other available settings. After adjusting, restart the scene to test the touch visual.

RecommendedUse DemoScene to explore all available prefabs. Run the scene, enable and disable the prefabs on the canvas, and watch the touch effects in the Game window.

Core Components

Input Controller.cs

A cross-platform input system with automatic configuration for desktops and mobile devices. Not intended for manual editing. Contains public field to set Input System. By default, the system is set up for the Old Input Manager. To fully switch, follow these steps:

Open Edit → Project Settings → Player → Configuration, and set Active Input Handling to New/Old. For New one: install the Input System Unity package. For Old: delete this package. Check the EventSystem on the scene to see if it is set up correctly for the current input.
Set inputSystemType to New/Old in the InputController component.
