Actor to follow my touch

sawkastee

Simplest question ever. How do I get an actor to follow my finger when I touch the screen? When I release I want actor to stop following my touch.

Is this a top down or side view game?

@sawkastee

Place this rule on the actor you want to track your finger position:

sawkastee

thank you.

another question please, when i preview this my actor jumps to my mouse click position and the actor does not continue to follow my mouse cursor along the screen. how can i get it 1) not abruptly jump to my mouse position and 2) follow my mouse.

how's this.. I made it so it stops when it reaches your mouse

thanks @wafflemanz3000 i appreciate the file.

no offense but is there a way to make it track touch movement faster? reason i ask is be it feels laggy. i guess that is because the timer has to fire every 0.1 secs.

i am trying to make the user pick apples off a tree and place them into a basket. this just feels too slow.

GS_Master

Change the move to speed to like 250 and change every .01 sec. to every 0 sec.
Cheers!
P.S. Are you new here?

GS_Master

pick apples? why don't you do this..

i swear i had the SAME rule in my actor and it didn't work (jumped to mouse click location). i copied socks and wafflemanz and it worked. wth.

This is how you can achieve that!

@sawkastee hmmmm... I think you may have accidentally used change attribute instead of constarin attribute before.. but that doesn't matter because it works now!
