You can set up a rule where when pressed to destroy the actor. That's probably the easiest way.

Theres a Destroy behaviour in (Behaviours) Just drag it into your touch is pressed rule in the actor you want to disappear

destroy is a bit final and resource heavy - an alternative would be to play with the self attribute alpha (found under color) - 1 is max opacity, 0 is not visible at all. you can interpolate for a smooth transition or just change it to 0 when pressed - it will stay at that level till something changes it back though - depends really if you plan on re-using the actors to save on processing or if you only need to do now and then destroy should be ok

if you dont want to destroy and just want to vanish change self.color.alpha to 0

Not another one, lol i know what you mean..

tenrdrmer suggested this to me see if it will help you,
..................................................
make a boolean game attribute called touchallowed

and then in the (your actor) make a rule
when touch is inside
--change attribute game.touchallowed to false
Otherwise
--change attribute game.touchallowed to true

and then add to your touch is pressed rule on the (your actor 2) add the condition game.touchallowed is true
