Can you make an actor reference another actor's attribute?

In actor X I have an attribute "new attribute". Can I have actor Y have a rule starting with "When actor x's new attribute is (fill in the blank) then : whatever behavior you need.

Possible? Or can actors only reference global/their own attributes and not another actors?

    You can from an unlocked instance inside the scene.

    But that is the only way to directly access the attribute of another actor. Oh and you will only be accessing the attribute from a single instance. So if you are looking to reference lot of the same actor you will have lots of expressions.

    Kind of.

    Place your actor (actor 1) into a scene with the actor that you want to reference (actor 2).

    Open actor 1 in the scene, unlock it, then do like a constrain attribute or change attribute or something like that, point it to Current Scene > layers > Background > actor 2 > attribute you want to reference.

    This works well with constraining a position to an actor and such like that.
