Load properties of another actor from within an actor

flipflip

Hello,

can I somehow load for example the x and y position of actor A through a rule that I create for actor B. When I create a rule I can only see Game, Touch and the Attributes of the Actor I am currently editing.

Is the only way around this to make the attributes of actor A available through global Game attributes?

Thanks so much in Advance!

1. You can use tables, which i think is also a global approach;
2. Unlock actor B and use Current Scene -> layers -> Background -> actorA, to access the X and Y.

Thanks for your reply!

What do you mean by unlock actor B?

If you have actor on a scene, you can double click it to reveal more options (like Current Scene) and to access the properties of all the actors on that scene.

Could you post a screenshot? I can't really find Current Scene : (

1. Put an actor on the scene;
2. Double click it;
3. Unlock ( click the big lock );
4. Use a change attribute behaviour.

Wow, thank you so much! That helps me a lot!!

Just understand once you unlock a prototype the changes you make to the main actor in the actors Pane will no longer change the actor you unlocked.
