Hi guys,
Sorry, time for another question.
Just wondering how to do the following, i've tried a couple of ways and unfortunately non of them work, I do try to sort things out before I ask for help on here - honest :-)
Basically, I've 4 colour squares at the bottom of the screen, above it is another square that changes colour depending on what box you've pressed - sounds like simple stuff. I've currently made it so if for example, colour = 1 spawn actor 1, colour = 2 spawn actor 2 and so on - this in a way works, but keeps spawning over the top of eachother and kind of looses it after a couple of clicks.
I would love to know if any of you know how to fix this, I've done some much harder stuff in GameSalad and its really annoying that I appear to have come stuck at something that seems so simple.
I can send the project to anyone who may be able to help (I only started it last night so there isn't really that much to see).
Cheers all,
Chris

In the first colored square have a rule when touch is pressed change selectedColor to 1
In the second colored square have a rule when touch is pressed change selectedColor to 2
In the third colored square have a rule when touch is pressed change selectedColor to 3
In the forth colored square have a rule when touch is pressed change selectedColor to 4
Then in the actor on top u want to change colors have rules when selectedColor=1
then have change attribute behaviors changing the self color attributes to the color you want. So if the first square is blue the rule would be when selectedColor=1
change attribute self color blue to 1
change attribute self color green to 0
change attribute self color red to 0
Then repeat with rules when selectedColor=2 and change the color attributes to match the next color and keep repeating
hope that helps
Thank you both so much for your advise above - I will give them both a go shortly. I'm sure you've saved me bags of time trying to figure this out - I really do appreciate it.
Cheers and thanks again,
Chris
