Is there a way that i can have my actor spawn at a specific coordinate on the level?

Cause i have my actor on a FollowMouse action. and when i hit game mode, i see he follows where my mouse is, and hes all the way up top, not on the level where he is supposed to be.

Can anyone help?

Im making a maze game right, and i use the mouse to guide the player around the maze. amd when i hit game mode the actor goes all the way up to game mode, i want him to stay at his position.

In easier terms, when i hit game mode , how do i get him to spawn where i want?



it would be stupid to create a maze game and you use the arrow keys.

I think your problem is that your actor is folowing the mouse, and your mouse position is where you clicked previously. You could have it moving to the mouse with a velocity (
Code: Select all
if (distance(xscreen, yscreen, xmouse, ymouse) > 5)
{
    moveto("Event Actor", 0, 0, 10, "Mouse Position");
}
) or you could have a start game button in the middle of the screen to click on which makes the actor follow the mouse. However, if you are using follow mouse, or even drag on mouse down, yo7 may be able to drag it through walls.
