X and Y wrong after camera movement

Mattcus

I'm not sure if this is a glitch, or if I am doing something wrong, but I have an actor move to where the player touches, however when the camera moves to a different position, when the actor moves to where the player touched, it moves to where the player touched if the camera was where it was before. If that makes sense.
For example, When starting off, I touch in the middle of the screen, the actor moves to the middle of the screen. When the camera moves up, then when I touch in the middle of the screen, the actor moves below where I touched, to where it went before. Please tell me if you need any more information.
Thanks in advance.

You probably confused relative to actor and relative to scene but without seeing your rules, I have no idea.

You need to setup a touch offset. touch positions are based on the position inside the physical screen so you have to account for the camera position as well when you have a scene large than the screen size. i can't remember if its gshelper or the gamesalad cookbook that has a video on that. id check gshelper.com for a video. I'm pretty sure they have one.

Here are some interesting comments on using the camera (and some good suggestions too):
