Drag/swipe multiple select

I'm looking for a way to swipe across the screen and selected multiple enemies in the process. Similar to the way REZ works, where you hold down a button and move the joystick over the enemies to select them, then let go to to fire at all of them. Instead, with the touch event.

Any good examples of this working?

Thanks

Pretty simple (I think)

1. Create a small circle or square "selector"

2. Set up the events:

"On click and every tick -> set selector to mouse"

and

"On selector overlap with enemies set animation to..."

Then you can reference the animation name to do damage or destroy

not sure how your game is setup but this should be able to be modified to meet your needs.

Duh. I don't know why I didn't think of using a sprite as a selector. Thanks!

Here's a slightly different approach:

Capx

— Yann did a tutorial type video on this on his youtube channel as well. You can find it here, though it does tend to wander a bit as he did it live while working out how to create a selector: Marquee Selection

Thanks everyone, all great examples!
