How do I make my actor move across the screen?

benharrison01

Hi,
I'm making a game where the aim is for the actor (blue square) to dodge the other actors (orange squares) however I cannot get the blue square to move. I would like it so I can drag it with my finger/mouse. Please could someone inform me with how to do this (using the WINDOWS edition). Many thanks.

I don't use the Windows version but the code is the same:

If touch is pressed
     Constrain self.position.X to game.mouse.position.X
     Constrain self.position.Y to game.mouse.position.Y

I recommend getting this as well even though it's a Mac template: http://gshelper.com/shop/advanced-game-functions/constrain-to-mouse-and-keep-collision-gamesalad.
