On Gamemaker studio, which I bought to make a game for android, there is an event: left-click.

But, surely, if you're on a tablet/phone/portable device you tap with your finger/stylus instead of left-click.

Does the left-click event mean tap if it's on android?

im pretty sure it does

Have you ever used a touch screen computer? I believe a touch is the equivilant to a left click?

I believe the intention is that a double-tap will trigger a right click event, but I don't think this has been implemented yet, or if it will end up being implemented (it seems to me like a game requiring many left clicks/taps in a row would trigger a right click event by accident).

However, currently the answer to "what does it do" is the same as the event for joystick button 1, pressing the up arrow key, and pressing F1: it doesn't do anything.

[cotycrg]

Currently, single touches will count as "left clicking," and double tapping is supposed to be a "right click." I saw an admin somewhere say that there was going to be an option somewhere to always be left click. Either way though, this is bad practice already. You should just use the YoYo_Mouse functions to do touchscreen events.

Nope, that's not true, I mean studio, just the download (beta), not the actual thing (which isn't out yet).

Anyway, thanks to everyone who answered my question, and the second one!
