Hello guys, I’m testing the new version (upgrading from "@babylonjs/core": "4.1.0" to 4.2.0-alpha.27, and noticed an API change that I wasn’t expecting. When using: scene.onPrePointerObservable.add the event.event.pointerId is undefined on safari desktop (I guess that it might be undefined o…

The main thing we change was relying on mouse vs pointer events on Safari due to their latest updates. Hope that might help you @Cedric . The thing is there is no touch screen on safari desktop so no multitouch :slight_smile:

I’m not sure if there are any plans on implementing multi touch APIs for desktops (trackpads for instance) if not I think it will be better to at least set the pointerId to 1 for backward compatibility. thanks a lot :slight_smile:

Yes, that’s my guess. Preserve compat with a valid pointerid

It’s on my task list. I’ll do it hopefully first days of next week.

That’s awesome, thanks a lot!
