Exiting Table with Touch Screen

[Romuluz]

Hello,

so far i managed to figure out the Touchscreen Controls for PinballX, but i cannot find the "Exit-Key" Touchpoint. i looked in the (fantastic) Manual but found nothing about Touch Controls. The only way exiting from a Table is with the Exit Point from Visual Pinball, where i have to do an extra Touch on "quit to Editor" then Quit the Editor. After that, PinballX comes up again with a 50% Chance. The other Times, the Monitor simply stays black with nothing ever happen again.

Kind Regards

PS: If it is of any interest, it is a Dell Venue 8 Pro Tablet (Win8.1)

The is no exit feature for the touch screen controls in PBX currently so you are not missing anything. It currently relies on the system/emulator to implement this.

Hello Tom Speirs,

Thank you for your fast answer!

Well... thinking and rethinking your answer i simply cannot agree with it.

It is the same Software that is used for a Cabinet. I have a Cabinet. On my Cabinet i have installed a Button that is in the Software Settings connected to the "Feature" of exiting a Table, thus going back to the PinballX Menu where i can decide to play another Table. Since a Tablet lacks (most often) buttons, in my Opinion it is necesary to have a Touchpoint defined that substitutes as an Exit Button.

The only other thing that i could think of is, that it is not possible to do this. That when starting VP all Controls go over to it, with no Chance fpr PBX to catch for Touchpoints. Is that the Reason?

Merry Christmas

I can look into as an optional feature, what sort of combo touchscreen press would you suggest to exit a table?

[Romuluz]

Sorry for answering late! Christmas Vacation...

If it is only possible by Combo, then i would say something like Right Flipper and Coin, a Combination which is unlikely in a normal Game.

Yes, but what would that be on a touchscreen where you are not using a keyboard?

[Romuluz]

No, there is no Keyboard. It'a a touch device.
