If you know you answer, if not do not bother

So basically you want to know if there is an actor in a certain point and you want an attribute to remember this. I assume so it won't spawn another actor in a position that is already filled?

Yes! When I touch the Actor I want to MOVE TO the position I want if the position is empty!!!!

This can be done easily if theres array in GS as you can actually iterate through the array to check. It can be done in GS but it's a bit tricky as you need to set an attribute on each location on the scene. Ex if you have 20 location you'll need 20 attributes and you need to check them 1 by 1.

make an attribute positionX = self.position.X (so if you're actor is called actor1 = actor1.Position.X) this is his x coordinate of actor1. do this also with positionY.
make an attribute with the coordinates where you want them (coordinate x and y)
if positionX=coordinateX{
if positionY=coordinateY{
//in position
}
//x in position y not
move actor1 to coordinateY
}
otherwise{
move to coordinateX and y
}
