Different choices for actor being touched

Roderic

I know what pressed is, and released, but what exactly do inside and outside do?

Thanks.

For the Rules when you choose the condition 'touch' there are 4 options.

Pressed: Meaning you touch the screen and it started over the actor.
Released: Meaning you untouched the screen and it ended over the actor and it was previously pressed.
Inside: A touch is inside the collision area of the actor.
Outside: A touch is outside the collision area of the actor.

Hope this helps.

Thanks guys for the quick answer. I also read the wiki. So, under what circumstance would you want to use pressed instead of inside, or vice versa? If you just want to touch an actor (menu item) to take it to a new scene, would that be pressed or inside?

Thanks again.

inside, you could first, press the screen outside of the actor then drag your finger to the actor, but with pressed, you'd need to initially have your finger on it.
