    You need something managing this, like a scene manager object.
    Give it a rule that says, when received touch, spawn actor of type [whatever your actor] at that location (the X and Y of the touch).

    In the thing spawned, just have an action that says interpolate X and interpolate Y to whatever size you want.

    And put in a timer that says after X time, kill itself.
  • Alright

    Do I uncheck preload art?

    that doesn't affect it. But if you have a lot of stuff that's not preloaded, you will get a delay when it loads.
    So that's a separate issue of loading times. You should look at the how-to on preloading art for that feature. It won't affect your spawning experiment, and you can probably just leave it checked for now. Good luck!
