Moving an Actor Question!!

wsuhoops

I am doing a maze like game where you can control a small square, right now you can move it but only touching it. Sometimes the square is smaller then your finger so it makes it hard to see. Is there a way to have the player follow your finger but the finger doesn't have to be directly on it, aka move 1 inch down but still follow movement

what you can do is when your constraining the x and y values to the mouse position just subtract 20, 30 etc.

E.g. :

when touch is pressed:

constrain self.position.x to mouse.position.x
constrain self.position.y to mouse.position.y-20

Soooo... your actor will be 20pxs underneath your mouse position or your finger etc. and if you want to lower it just subtract a bigger number

Good Luck!
