try this: in the actor make a rule that says when touch is pressed constrain self rotation to mouse position y. it is not perfect but it works

it works but i can only make half a turn.
any other ways?

haven't played the game but wouldn't rotate clockwise or counter clockwise while press work?

I would try something of this type. When you touch on it, then constrain its rotation to the VectorToAngle of the object's center vs the touch position. This way, you'll not only get the nice rotation, but youll be able to drag outside of the object and see it better as it turns, if you want.

If the object should rotate around the center, keep in mind that you'll need to do an offset because they rotate around a corner.

I have a similar thing in my latest game and it works fine. I'd send you the code but I'm at work. Try that concept and lemme know if it helps.
