    create an integer attribute: game.actorNumber

    have this rule

    when touch is pressed change game.actorNumber to (game.actornumber+1)%2

    Then have a rule when touch is pressed
    -----when game.actornumber=0
    ---------move rules for actor 1
    -----OTHERWISE
    ---------move rules for actor 2

    This is my game.
    I have 2 Buttons on the Hud - One red - One blue
    Press the red one and wherever i press next Actor 1 moves to the touch
    Press the blue one and wherever i press next Actor 2 moves to the touch.

    What I have so far.

    Inside Red Button

    When red button is pressed inside
    change att game.touch = 1

    In Actor 1
    Attrib game.touch = 1
    slf.pos.x to mouse.pos.x
    slf.pos.y to mouse.pos.y

    However this does not let me place it but rather places Actor 1 where the red button is, however i want it to be placed where i press the second time. And also the game is scrollable so I need the actors to move porperly even when i have scrolled
    Cheers

    yes it will spawn on the icon because you told it too with this code "spawn actor 1 to mouse x and mouse y".

    first - your gameplay seems a bit simple that it doesnt required S&D (spawn & destroy). You just need to place it outside of the scene which is way easier.
    second - dont place the control on the buttons. Just use the buttons to change an attribute and let the actor react to it.
    ex: game.ActorID
    BUTTONS
    if red is pressed
    game.ActorID = 1

    if Blue is pressed
    game.ActorID = 2

    ACTOR1
    if game.ActorID = 1
    move me to happy place
    otherwise
    Hide me

    ACTOR2
    if game.ActorID = 2
    move me also to happy place
    otherwise
    Hide me

    well you need to add another rule on the actor besides game.ActorID.
    Actor.
    First make an invisible actor and fill out the whole scene except your hud. Unlock this one and place a rule inside.
    RULE
    if this s pressed
    Change attribute game.MoveAnActor = TRUE
    change attribute game.touchX = mouse.position.X
    change attribute game.touchY = mouse.position.Y

    if release
    Change attribute game.MoveAnActor = FALSE

    ACTOR1
    if game.ActorID = 1 && MoveAnActor = TRUE
    move me to happy place (using touchX & touchY)
    otherwise
    Hide me

    :)
