[Solved] Why are these actors interacting with each other???

FlyboyTrevy_

I have 2 actors, and 2 buttons. Desired scenario, when button A is clicked, actor A will move; And when button B is clicked, actor B will move. Both actors will move in the same way (same distance and all that) except they start and end at different points. So they basically have the same code attached to them other than the coordinates they start and end up on are different.

So what I have set up, is we have Rule A, and Rule B (both Boolean). When button A has a mouse click down, it changes attribute Rule A to true, else it's false. And same for button B with rule B. Actor A has it set so when Rule A is true, it performs the move command, same for Actor B with rule B. Get it?

Here's the problem:

I get into the instance, I click button A, and both Actor A and Actor B make a move. Or reset the instance, I click button B, and both actors move again. They are entirely different actors, with entirely different rules. WTF!

Thing is this isn't a problem if I change the input from clicking the buttons to just hovering your mouse cursor over the buttons. No problem there. Why would this be??? Changing the input type shoudln't have ANY effect on how the program executes its code.

Anybody have any ideas?

Did you use When Touch is Pressed or When Mouse Button is Down? Touch is Pressed refers to the actor itself being clicked/tapped, whereas Mouse Button is Down refers to any click within the scene. You need to be using When Touch is Pressed.

Holy crap thank you thank you thank you. I just assumed that touch meant literally touch only. You have solved my problem.
