i think i seen a tut on this but not sure i remember where lol

basically i want the camera to follow my touch then when i release touch, it stops. i'm sure i can spawn a camera controlling actor when touch but the whole spawning and destroying thing sucks up ram.

or should i have an already spawned invisible actor the jumps to touch position when touch is pressed?

and then have that actor control the camera?
thanks guys...

    try just having a camera controlling actor in your scene set to invisible and just constrain its position to mouse.x and mouse.y and then control camera when touch is inside once it pops over to where your finger is it should start controlling the camera. I haven't tried it but that sounds logical to me.

    Oh and bumps camera is controlled by each bump when they are touched so I don't think thats quite the same as what you are wanting
