How to make one actor switch with another

bsamargia

Is there a way to get it so when a certain button is pressed, the actor that you play as switches out with another actor? My game involves a character who is a small acute triangle, and he has the ability to switch between the different kinds of triangles, so a right or obtuse triangle. To do this, I have different actors with different looks and sizes. The player has the ability to freely switch between the different forms. The thing is, I can't seem to get any rule made that allows for such. Is there a way for me to do this, or am I screwed, as this is an essential part of the game that must be in it, as it is required for a project I'm doing.

Thanks in advance.

Button actor
When touch is pressed
     Change attribute game.character to 2

Triangle 1 actor
When attribute game.character = 2
     Spawn actor [triangle 2 actor]
     Destroy actor

When attribute game.character = 3
     Spawn actor [triangle 3 actor]
     Destroy actor

You can then do the same for the button that switches to character 3 and for triangle actors 2 and 3, etc.

Thank you, you are a lifesaver.
