I want my rule to say this:
when mouse position is over actor
when mouse button is down
do: change scene.
For some reason it doesn't work. Here is a small video about it, (nothing fancy):

Do "If touch is pressed"
I am making a PC game. Touch does not work for a mouse.
And why doesn't the ''over actor'' part not work?
Are you sure it doesnt work ? it works fine in viewer + html5 + mac OSx unless the windows version is different
Well watch the video that I posted and tell me what ya think. Maybe the windows version is different.
I guess if I can't find a solution I will have to use something like ''when mouse is down spawn an actor; when that actor collides, (it will be invisible,) with an actor that I want it to,( for example, a button,) it changes the scene. Lol, sounds overly complicated.
did you try if touch is pressed ? it will work
@twayne1
did you maybe unlock the instance of that actor on the scene?
Click on the tab "red button(instance)". Then select the option on the right to revert that actor to its prototype.

Well that does nothing as expected, as they were already both identical. (I typically don't mess around with specific instances in my opinion, though I could be wrong.)
Thanks for the advice though.
Have you tried 'if touch is pressed' yet ?
I think you should give up and realise it will never happen
well thanks for that positive influence.
Have you actually tried 'touch is pressed' yet ?
yes I have, but as it is a PC game, it does not work.
Then there must be some error in the way you have your code set up.
@twayne1 I'm sorry if i offended you ! I was just kidding
How on earth do I have an error in my code? WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? Lol. Icebox just find me a solution, I don't care if you insult me to do it haha....
Create a new project create 2 scenes create an actor in scene 1 and do this
if touch is pressed
change scene
and tell us if it works or not
How odd. What you said worked in a different project. Why is it called ''if touch is pressed'' if I am using a mouse? Would I use that for an android game? Anyways the ''if touched is pressed'' does not work in my actor. Also, it is the only rule. Weird...
I mean that if you have tried 'when touch is pressed' and it doesn't work, then there must be an error somewhere in your code that is preventing it from working.
make sure the rule is in "prototype" tab not the instance . delete the actor from the scene then drag it back into the scene. Never place your code in the instance tab and if you see a lock image dont click on it . Do it and tell me if it works
nope still doesn't.
delete the actor get rid of it
. create a new actor and do
if touch is pressed
change scene
do it and tell me if it works or not. if you can show us what your doing on another youtube video , that would be awesome. If you cant ill hunt you down until it works
Nope it doesn't work.
I will put a video in a few minutes....
Can we see the layers (screenshot) for that scene ?
This is really odd.. i can't think of anything that might cause an issue with a simple rule like this
