Spawn Actor on Touch Question
Hey Everyone,
So currently I am trying to have this actor spawn(or move to the spot, since spawning and destroying actors slow down the game) to where I touch on the screen and in only a certain portion of the screen, not on the User Interface.
This actor would just need to pop up where I touch, animate and leave after 1 second.
I tried just telling the actor to spawn on the x touch and y touch position, but for some reason that didnt work.
If possible instead of spawning and destroying this actor. I would like to have it be off the screen. Then have it move to the touched spot and back off the screen. But I would need it to look like it appears on the touch spot and not show it quickly moving to the spot and off the screen.
Could someone tell me or make an example of how I would do this in the best way that wont lag the game?
Thanks
Eric
