Suggestion: Fix how touch coordinates work when zoomed

It would be really nice if when you manipulated the scene camera size to have a zoom effect it didn't totally throw off touch coordinates.

Does anyone have ideas for a work around?

I've tried everything I could think of and I got nuttin'

    Hey scitunes I just did a full ipad to iphone resize with zoom.

    I made an invisible actor that holds the rules, I then placed it down and to the left(about 100 or so on each) of a blank actor that the player sees and touches.

    When I did a spawn button at the end of my level I spawned two one you see(blank) and one you don't see(rules) agian down and to the left.

    hope that helps

    how did you figure out where to put the invisible actor? Trial and error?

    The reason I ask is that I am trying to make an angry birds type clone. So it is not as simple as a button. I would like to be able to have the bird on the slingshot constrained to your touch (within a circular limit) while zoomed in or out.

    yeah the first time was trail and error but after I did it one time it was the same every time.

    here are some real number position difference I us
    X=500, Y=300 on blank actor
    X=200, Y=100 on actor with rule

    Give it a try with these numbers, and for the zoomed in or out I'd just put a rule on the invisible actor "if zoom is on or off"
