Tutorial 06 - Selecting an Object

I'm trying to make my code select an object and just update a integer when the object is selected, so not change the material of the object. I figure that the selected object is being re-drawn as a new instance, and in the tutorial there is a comment that says that SIO2 will remember the last drawn material - is there a way to call the material of my existing object and have the "selection" object use that material when rendered?

Check tutorial06_1

Double Tap: Select the object

Triple Tap: Duplicate the select object

And you got in there all the twist concerning the materials...

I'll check again - no doubts I've just missed something glarringly simple!

I have modified the double tap to only be a single tap (as that's what I need)... but I'll check when I'm in front of my Mac.

Thanks

Well, after a few more hours, and tearing the remains of my hair out - I'm no closer to figuring this one out.

even if I touch nothing, so I don't create a Selection object (selection should be reset from sio2ObjectReset, or am I misunderstanding the function?) it creates an object (or not) with no material, but if I select the area where the object is, I get a Touch=YES (my own little test) but no visible object (material wiped).

I fiddled around with the render placement, and I can get a "white" or blank material, but never do I get my original one back. I just can't figure it out - must've taken my stupid pills all day today :-/

Any help? Pointers? I've gone over Tut 06_1 so many times I just can't see where the original material gets loaded back again.

Just out of curiousity, do your objects move?

If they're static, then you can simply hardcode the hotspots in the screen touch callback :-)

They are all static, now that you mention it...
Hmm

Then I would definitely do it that way. K.I.S.S.

Before I go on and do something else - I just wanted to see what would happen to SIO2's Tutorial 06 if I take out all the selection/instance material stuff... well, it works exactly how I want my app to work. Bwahahahaha.
*ahem*
So, clearly, I've done something... erm... not right!

Sorry for the near-pointless post!

PS: sio2Interactive - you were right! As usual ;-)
