mousedown event in PIXI doesn't get triggered with creative pen

Question

I have an issue where I have a button on my canvas which works great when I use a regular mouse, but when I use my Wacom creative pen tablet the button seems to not work.

mainLayer.on("mousedown", () => start());

Answer 1

You can use the Chrome dev tools to set event breakpoints and see what actually gets triggered.

To set breakpoints with chrome dev-tools:

But my guess is that you use mousedown instead of pointerdown.

So, this should fix it:

mainLayer.on("pointerdown", () => start());
