Touch through actor help

VGX

I have 2 actors one in front of the other. I am able to click through the actor in front to the one behind.

I have searched the forums and videos and I can not find any solutions for this.

As far as I know (been an active user for 2 years) no one has come up with a good solution to this problem.

Hi VeiraOne, this is the way the GS engine works, I'm afraid. There are workarounds though, for instance, using in the Rules (sketchily put here, for guidance only):

In top layer actor,
When all is true
When touch is pressed
when InteractA is false

---your behaviours-----

when actor collides or overlaps with (bottom actor)
Change Att. InteractA to true

---your same behaviours----

And in the bottom actor, its Rules/behaviours only work when InteractA is false

Along those lines. Hope that's enough there to get you experimenting with the actors.

Well what do you want to happen exactly. I have actually had some success in some of that. in my Stacks Level select template the hardest thing I had to figure out was making touching the world icon not pass on through and load on of the unlocked level icons underneath. I have since found even better ways to accomplish that task. but they may not work for what you want.

So we really need to know what your are trying to accomplish to offer you better help in this area.

Well I would make a boolean game attribute called touchallowed

and then in the black ball make a rule
when touch is inside
--change attribute game.touchallowed to false
Otherwise
--change attribute game.touchallowed to true

and then add to your touch is pressed rule on the white ball add the condition game.touchallowed is true

I'll make a demo for it tonight
