Is there a way to fix a button sensitivity problem?

If it's a button to call out anything from inside the scene, a very very light touch is all you need, but when it's a button to trigger a change of scene, you have to press hard on the button, any thoughts on this?

    Since mobile devices can't yet differentiate between soft and hard touches, what you're really asking is how to tell when the player has pressed for a short while and when the player has pressed for a longer time.

    When Touch is Pressed
    .....Timer After 2 seconds
    ..........Change Scene

    Make sure Run to completion is NOT checked.

    That's exactly what I have and when people click lightly on the button and hear a sound, nothing happens. lol

    Just wanna take out my frustration here instead of screaming or destroying stuff or hurting people, lol.... buttons to change scene is so unresponsive that it takes a 1 second hard press to make it execute, it's making people think the link is broken.... Sigh!

    As @tatiang said, the device cant detect hard or soft presses -- only length of press.

    If you want a shorter press time, then change the timer from 2 seconds down to 1 second. (Or maybe even .5 second.)

    Bahahahaha just solved it, I used Boolean and it works like a charm, I'm so happy, can't tell difference between pressing a button for In-Scene changes to Change Scene execution, love it.
