Hi @NicoSola welcome to GameSalad and the forums. :-)

Your description of the thumbstick to control your character, and then for your character to appear on the screen where you touch, seem totally at odds with each other....

But anyhow, here's how to have your character appear on-screen, and disappear when not touched:

First make a background actor to cover the screen area; with an image, or colour, or invisible, whichever you require.

Unlock it and in its Rules, put:

When touch is pressed
Change attribute scene.Background.Character.Position.X to game.Touches.Touch 1.X
Change attribute scene.Background.Character.Position.Y to game.Touches.Touch 1.Y

When touch is released
Change attribute scene.Background.Character.Position.X to -100

Hope that helps out.
