(S) How do I set object angle towards second touch?

Hey, I have this ball which I drag with one finger and I want it to set it's angle towards the second touch when it's being pressed.

This is the code I use:

nth touch (1) is touching --> Ball - set angle towards position (Touch.X, Touch.Y)

Problem is, it's setting the angle towards the first touch.

So, how do I set it's angle towards my second touch?

https://www.scirra.com/manual/119/touch

Touch.Xat("1"), Touch.Yat("1")

scirra.com/manual/119/touch

Touch.Xat("1"), Touch.Yat("1")

I've not had the pleasure of trying this but could you explain why it's

Touch.Xat("1") ? This seems to indicate that the "1" is a string rather than an integer.

I was thinking it'd be Touch(1).X or something.

Oops you're right, there are no quotes.

XAt(index)

YAt(index)

XForID(id)

YForID(id)

Return the current position of a touch in layout co-ordinates. It changes to reflect scrolling and scaling. However, if an individual layer has been scrolled, scaled or rotated, these expressions do not take that in to account - for that case, use the layer versions below. The At expressions can return the position of any touch given its zero-based index, and the ForID expressions return the position of a touch with a specific ID.

Great, thank you!

Theoretical question:

If I have a game with the statement:

Is inTouch | Set OBJECT to Touch(0).X,Touch(0).Y

And another one with:

Is inTouch | Set ANOTHER_OBJECT to Touch(1).X,Touch(1).Y

If I take the first touch off , wouldn't my second touch get reassigned to Touch(0)?

I'm imagining OBJECT would suddenly appear in the position of ANOTHER_OBJECT.

But I have no device to test this with as of right now.

Can you confirm this?

Correct. But you can add conditions to specify on nth touch released to account for various situations.

you can also use TouchID to keep track of which touch should apply to which object.
