Hi!

I am using MotionStreak in the following way:

On touch began and moved i change the position of the streak to match the touch point.

The issue i am having is that:

- i draw something
- i lift my finger and draw somewhere else
- the last point and the first one of the new streak get connected.

Is there a way for me to reset the streak on touchEnd so when touching again, the "last" and the "first" point don't get connected?

Thanks!

Bump.

I have exactly the same problem.

I tried initializing my streak in touchesBegan (as opposed to in my init method), but then it doesn't display at all.

Can anybody help?

The obvious solution seems to be to create a new streak for each new touch. This should be basic right? Unfortunately I can't figure out the syntax. When I try initialize a new streak in touchesBegan (and remove the old one) it doesn't show up on screen. What is the correct way to do this?

Right now I just initialize my streak in the init method of my GameLayer class and in touchesMoved I have the following code:
```
UITouch *touch = [touches anyObject];
[streak setPosition:[self convertTouchToNodeSpace:touch]];
```
But this suffers from the problem described in the OP: When I make a new finger motion on the screen, I don't get a new streak tracing my motion. Instead the old streak continues and connects to the new one.
