How do I make an actor/image appear when I touch anywhere

loressa

I want to make footsteps appear wherever I touch. Like a stamp tool, where they are 'stamped' onto the background and stay there.

StormyStudio

Use the spawn behaviour.

Yes I get that, but I'm sure I would have to relate it to the mouse/touch position, because if you click and spawn, it's only relative to the game or actor's position. I need to spawn actors wherever I touch.

I would create two actors, one is the background. Create two attributes TouchX and TouchY.

Then in the background actor add a rule:

Actor receives event Touch is pressed.

Add Change Attribute game.TouchX to game.Mouse.PositionX and a second change attribute game.TouchY to game.Mouse.PositionY and then add a Spawn Actor relative to scen and position game.TouchX and game.TouchY.

That should do it.

as simo103 said but you dont need the touchX.game and touchY.game.

You can just have the background actor and when touch is pressed spawn X by touch1X and Y by touch1Y relative to scene.
