New Stencyl Topic : click move command.

Description
click anywhere to make actor go the clicked position. 

Story:
it is a step forward to successfully create the most difficult behaviour in the game which is pathfinding without the "path options" like the ones in GPS. The pathfinding where this most of this component may contain EXCEPT the first 2 rows. 

The waypoint-based pathfinding has 3 main components which are scanning, producing waypoints, and propagation which is most of this EXCEPT the first 2 rows and the next waypoint.   

Add next point command on the bottommost if gate on the second event and replace the mouse of the first event with next point X and Y and it will be a component of pathfinding that dispatches the actor's movement.

Stencyl-nator topic update:

both above applies to the building object sensor(same behavior), when it hits a structure it prevents a new building from being build onto existing structures. when it leaves, it allows the new building to be build

and this is where "crapplay status - can build" goes to and "game attribute blank crapplay status"(below) should be the same as "game attribute blank - gameplay util"(above)

for

applies to building menu button

if this does not work properly please check actor group collision. One of the reason why does not work is.. they are set not to collide with any other actor. for more
