Changing the active object pivot related to mouse controller

Hi, basically everything works just fine. Except for one thing.

Note: I need the the active object movement to be restricted to left and right, and i need a limit too. (I'm not sure if the mouse controller is the only way to do it).

As you know the pivot of an active image is set by default to the left-top vertices. So if i use a mouse controller to control an active image, whenever i tap it will align that object pivot to the mouse cursor, instead of having the center of both aligned with each other. this is noticeable by the player, alter the "movable" area I've specified and looks wrong.

I know that it is possible to change the pivot's position, i did it for the bullets to leave from to specific coordinates even being related to an object, from it.

But i'm finding it mas eu estou achando isso dificil, e não parece encontrar a solução.

Please Help.

Create an event that always sets the x position of the active object to the x mouse position.

Then add some limiters to your events that say for example

"active x position is greater than 0" and "active position is lower than 640"

This would limit the actives movement to the position between 0 and 640 pixels.

So full example would look like.

Always
+X Active > 0
+X Active < 640

-> Set X Active to X Mouse

Thanks RhysD, I'll try it ;D

RhysD, that does what the mouse controller does. Ok, but the (active image's center) is still being the left-top corner, instead of it's own(image) center. That's what is so problematic to change (fix) ;.(

Because it looks like there is no option to define that. I'll keep trying here.

-Simulation: Whenever I tap somewhere on the screen of the iDevice in the horizontal zone to move the active either to the left of to the right, it moves, however eve setting the x and y positions to the mouse x and y positions, my active is being centered by it's left-top corner in relation to the mouse's center, instead of it's center to the mouse center. So the image is not being centered horizontally(X axis in my case) to the mouse's center.

Obj: It is not supposed to move in the Y axis, just in the X axis, as it is.

I think i did it, just found the button to change the hot spot and the action spot ;.D

That allows me to set the active image's pivot to it's center. Problem is solved. ;.D

This could be done by default, as it would save some clicks, considering i have 4 animations on that particular active, and i had to do one by one ;.D

If you hold down the alt key while adjusting the hotspot on one frame of your animation, it will adjust it to that position on the other frames for you automatically.
