   Hey all,
   My game requires multi touch. What im doing is that you select a character and drag and he follows and if you touch on the other half of the screen he shoots. this works right now without the dispatcher but after you tap the other half of the screen you have to reselect the player. I thought that i would be able to fix this using the touch dispactcher but the problem im running into is that i have subclassed sprite and in my game layer init i have a loop that creates all of the players, which causes some problems with the dispatcher such as to select the first sprite i have to touch the last sprite and the first one is the only one i can select and once i take my finger off i cant select him again.

   I guess my question is if its possible to do what i want with the dispatcher or if it would be easier to do it without and if so how?

   Thanks

   sounds like some logic in your code my be off. It depends how your touch enabling your nodes, and tracking the different states. It should be possible with either touch method though.

   Well does it matter if the all have the same state name? such as they are all called kPlayerStateGrabbed and UnGrabbed?

   Here is a project with the problem. if someone wants to look at the actual code.

   I haven't had a chance to look at your code yet, but are you keeping track of the current selected sprite in some way?

   Is that a tag your setting as kPlayerStateGrabbed/UnGrabbed? Is it being correctly removed/acted upon once certain touches start/end? It might be worth adding some NSLog's to track the changes and see if all is as you expect.

   I'd personally have a var or some way of note-ing the current selected sprite, and re-set it as selected after a touch on the other side of the screen has finished (if thats what your after).
