Touch, drag, destroy while touch still on

beaudoin_n

Hi

I am having some problems with my object

Basically it moves when touched (inside) and contraints to x y of touch
when it collides it gets destroyed
And i have a spawner that will spawn that same actor again (on its initial position)

It seems to work well for 1 or 2 times, bu then it gets to either dissapear or just always follow my touch.

I want the player to have to touch the object drag it somewhere.. then when another one appears they need to lift the touch (or at least go back to move on the object position) to reselct the object and drag it again.

I want this to work with iPhone that is why i used the touch instead of the mouse button...

Thanks

Merry Christmas to all

Ok still not working after trying different things... also noticed that if i move the mouse too quickly i lose my constraint (the object stops moving)

I don't know how to attach a file here but i'd really like to have some more info on how to achieve this.

Thanks all in advance

(btw i used tshirtbooth's ddd.zip file to start up... thanks for all your contributions to this community tshirtbooth!)

OK so here is my object logic

rule "assign selected"
when all are valid
when actor receives touch is inside
change attribute "game.selected" to true

rule "move"
when all are valid
when actor receives touch is inside
when "game.selected" = true
constrain attribute self.position.x to game.touches.touch 1.x
same for Y

Then i have 2 checks for collision with objects that go like this
when actor collides with actore of type "a"
change attribute "game.selected" to false
destroy object
change attribute "game.object" = false
assign score
otherwise
change attribute "game.selected" to false
destroy object
change attribute "game.object" = false

My spawner object
when game.object = false
spawn actor (the previous one)
assign "game.selected" = false
assign "game.object" = true

do you see anything wrong in this ?

Ok i uploaded my test code here

Still no luck getting it to work... to see how it fails easily simply drag the little square to the right and see that then the spawned object returns to its original place... then grag again and keep the mouse button down.. the newly spawned object will be binded to the location you have now. I want the spawned object to always appear at the same place.

Thanks for your help all.
