Looks like the BrightScript roTouchEvent GetX(), and GetY() are your friends.

Thank you for the fast reply. I already stumbled over this, but as far as I am not a programmer, i would really appreciate if you could post a little demo script for retrieving touch coordinates within just one fullscreen region. I will then be able to embed this via Brightauthor as a Script Plugin (in the autorun tab), right? My goal is to send the touch coordinates via UDP to a PC.
This would really help me a lot.
Thanks in advance, Chris
This should work for you. There is a demo presentation that should help you get started.
BrightAuthor plugin for capturing touchscreen events, and sending out UDP messages, containing the coordinates of the touch screen position. UDP message a JSON object. Example: {"x":1054,"y":474}

Thanks a lot. Sending a single touch position works like charm. But another question is, does sending drag touch positions work too?
Cheers, Chris
Hm... in my little project i want to drag a quad and send the current touch position to my pc via UDP... the touchscript above gets the touchcoordinates at the moment of touch. But when i start dragging no data is going to be sent. But this would be exactly what i need. Is that even possible with the brightsign player?
I woukd appreciate your help very much. BIG thanks in advance, Chris
Natively, with BrightScript, capturing a drag might not be possible, but you should be able to that with JavaScript.
Hm... I tried to figure out how this might work but after days of troubleshooting i still stuck.
I figured out how to get touchcoordinates via JS:
https://www.w3schools.com/jsref/tryit.asp?filename=tryjsref_event_touch_touches2
Because i am already using vvvvjs (nodebased) i used the js lib of this system. When i publish the html file to the brightsign player the touchcoordinates are going to be displayed.
Furthermore i found a thread where sending UDP to Brightsign over JS ( https://brightsign.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/209965477-Send-UDP-from-a-HTML-interface) has been discussed and i tried to combine both sources but i am not able to send UDP data to my PC. I really do not know how i can get that fixed. Can anybody help me PLEASE.
I really would appreciate any help.Thanks in advance, Chris
