Hello All,

I have 2 full screen actors with a few buttons in the middle. Is there a way to disable those buttons with the above actor.

Ex. I am able to use the buttons in the middle to change the scene before the top actors timer runs out and shows the buttons and the bottom actor.

Thank you.

    I tell you how I managed to do something simillar:

    I have a background with many actors (this is scrollable), I also have second layer with HUD. So sometimes buttons from background are under the HUD buttons.

    So:

    Every ator in the background has his own integer attribute.
    If touch is pressed: change attribute X to 1.
    If attribute X is 1 do something, and after that change this attribute to 0.

    So, I have a rule in the HUD button:
    If touch is pressed, change attribute X to 0.
    And other rules.

    So when background button is under the HUD button, and player touch this HUD button, then only action from this button occurs.

    Hope that helps!

    Hello,

    I am a little lost. Are any of these Game attributes? I can't seem get to another actors attributes form a different actor. I can get to Game attributes. I am still new to Gamesalad, but this seems like it should be easy. Who knows.

    Thank you for your help.

    Success! Thank you for your help. It was the Game attribute that was throwing me off.

    This is a great community.
