Touch actors sticking help

FirstDan

Hi all

I have 4 actors that you can touch to move around. I am having an issue that when I drag an actor on top of another touch actor it sticks and moves both when touch is pressed.

I have looked at TSB tutorials on overlapping but non have worked as i am dynamically spawning these actors, where TSB is setting by unlocking the actors.

These actors must stay movable to false, can anyone help?

thanks troops

You could make a global attribute ("dragging") and a self attribute ("touched") for the actor, which will be dragged

Then make these rules in the actor:

Rule 1
If touch pressed and dragging is false
Change self.touched to true
Change dragging to true
Otherwise
Change self.touched to false

Rule 2
If self.touched is true
Constrain attribute self.x to mouse.x
Constrain attribute self.y to mouse.y

Rule 3
If touch count is 0
Change dragging to false
