[SOLVED] Can I map fast forward function to touch screen button?

Hi. I was wondering if its possible to map “hold to fast forward” function to a touch screen button. When I go to Input-> Input Hotkey Binds, press A on Fast Forward hold, it tells me to “Press keyboard, mouse or joypad”, so I start holding the button on touch overlay, but nothing happens. Is there any other way?

yeah, overlays can’t be bound to buttons like that. You have to modify the overlay itself, which is doable but is a bit of a hassle. I can lay out the steps for you, but you have to be comfortable editing a config file in a text editor.

Thanks for the reply. I really appreciate the help but I already saw how to modify the overlay, so there is no need for that. It’s a shame that you cant map overlay button. Is there any reason for that?

The overlays and the regular button-mapping system are sort of parallel implementations of similar things. That is, the overlays completely bypass the regular input pathway that gamepads use and go straight for where the input commands end up.
