2 actors both with constrain self.position to game.mouse.position

sawkastee

Hi, I have 2 actors both with constrain self.position x/y to game.mouse.position x/y. One is 400x400 px the other 100x100 px. When 100x100 actor is in front & 400x400 in back & user selects small one it picks up the big one too. How do I prevent this? I tried layers but it doesn't seem to be working.

If you're constraining outside of rules, then they will always following mouse position. Use rules to turn them off and on.

I think the question was how to restrict touches to a single layer so that if an actor is in front of another actor, only the front actor responds to touch.

Not sure if this is any use (demo at the end of the thread) - it's a similar problem:
