Spawning on Touch

tpjacobson

Hey guys I have come into an error. I have my game set up so that when you touch the spawner actor it spawns wherever you touched it. It was working but when I made the scene size bigger by width and made the spawn actor bigger (same as scene size) it won't spawn in the part that was extended.

You're spawning an actor the size of the scene? What is the scene size? And what is the actor size?

Having an actor spawn itself on touch seems like a recipe for disaster (i.e. crashing your app). Is there a reason you're doing it that way? Or does your spawner actor actually spawn a different actor?

@tatiang the spawner is invisible and o spawns a actor and the size of the scene is 320 by 1600 landscape fpr example(when spawner is touched spawn (actor)block1 in touch position x and y)

If you're game.Touches.Touch 1.X, you'll need to add scene.Camera.Origin.X to the X value. Same for Y. To access scene attributes, you have to unlock an actor. I like to use a single unlocked actor to constrain game.cameraX (and Y) to scene.Camera.Origin.X and then just reference game.cameraX in the spawner actor.

Here's a demo made in Mac Creator (you can Google how to open it on a PC).
