In the actor's DRAW ACTOR script, use the "MOVE TO" function, in in the "relative to" box, select "MOUSE POSITION" and adjust the velocity as desired...

Will your actor never reach the mouse in your game?
If yes, put this in the collision event with the mouse:
xvelocity = 0;
yvelocity = 0;
Or it will start shaking when it reaches.
By the way, to use the MoveTo function, you need an actor mouse.

Good call on the shaking actor thing there... but the move-to function allows "mouse position" which does not require a mouse actor.

Cool, I don't know why but I never saw that before today!

You've been around for awhile, so maybe it came out within the last couple versions???

No, I purchased the program 15 days after registering to these forums and have since used the same version 1.3.3 and it has the option. I guess I always knew what actor I'm seeking from the list, and that's why I didn't realise it.
