Template Help Bounce Issues

I'm trying to make an actor bounce off of a wall but the wall has to be activated by touch before the ball hits it to allow the ball to bounce off of it. If the wall is not touched first the ball is destroyed. So far I can make the ball bounce off of the wall but need the touch wall/ activate wall sequence template. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

    I don't know if this will work for your game, but here's one way you can go about doing it.

    That look like exactly what I want. I also want it to change colour when pressed.
    How do I go about doing it?
    Thanks

    Create a rule
    When touch is pressed
    Change attribute color.red to 0
    Change attribute volor.blue to 0

    So it will be gree

    Thanks for the attached file, as I'm new to GS I have a stupid question…how do I open it? I've tried to open the file as a new project and also drop and drag into GS, nothing works. I open the files in finder and it say 1.xml etc but it won't open either? Please Help.

    Are you on Mac or PC?

    Can anyone help??

    You should be able to just double click the file. I don't remember if I was using a RC version when I made it, but you may need to rename the extension to .gameproj

    Man you gotta help me out nothing is working… Renaming it does not work, double click no good, drop and drag, game salad says"cannot open the file in this format".
    Can you take a screen shot of the template and I can just copy it? Or convert the file to mac format your end? Please……?

  • ArmellineArmelline Member, PRO Posts: 5,456

    It is already in Mac format. Try this one. If this doesn't open, there must be a problem with your GameSalad installation. I've just tested it and it opens fine.

    This is the same thing but should be openable in a non-RC version of GS.

    Thanks, that one opened perfectly and thanks for your help. The only thing I now have to work out is how to deactivate the touched wall after the ball bounces off of it???
    Any suggestions?
