    Make an integer attribute within the actor, let's call it A - and place your actor on the screen at X-139, Y-131.

    Rule: When mouse button is down:

    • Change Attribute: self.A to 1-self.A

    • Move To: X = 139+( self.toggle *40) and Y = 131.

    Whoops, my mistake entirely :blush: I type 'toggle' in instead of 'A' ('A' is toggling between two values) . . . . so it should have read . . .

    . . . . . . . . . .

    Make an integer attribute within the actor.

    Let's call this attribute A</font color>.

    Place your actor on the screen at X-139, Y-131.

    . . . . . . . . . .

    Rule: When mouse button is down:

    • Change Attribute: self.A</font color> to 1-self.A</font color>

    • Move To: X = 139+(self.A</font color>*40) and Y = 131.

    . . . . . . . . . .

    (don't forget to select attributes from the pull down menu, rather than typing them in by hand)

    Did you select A from the pull down menu, or did you just type it in by hand ?

    Typed it in by hand, but when i go on the pull down menu and go on Player - A it prints out self.A
