I'm using ge for a school project and am pretty new at it so i have alot of questions:
1.) How do i make it to where a tile such as an enemy or object will kill the player? 2.) How can i make an enemy in the game walk back and forth or in a pattern?
3.) How can i change the depth of an actor so the my character doesn't go behind it? 4.) How can i make items that i can pick up or buttons that i can press that will activate something?
5.) How do i make the character walk without his legs constantly moving or not moving at all? 6.) How can i make the player jump or attack...and if he attacks how can i make it kill or damage an enemy?
7.) How can i make tiles solid so my character can walk on them? 8.) How can i add music to the game?
9.) How can I make it so that when the player kills a boss, he can go to another level?
10.) How can i make a health bar and extra life for the player? for the boss?
11.) How can i make a start menu?
I know its quite a few questions but if someone could answer a few it would be very helpful.

OK I'll see if I can help...
1)Use a variable, when the variable hits 0, the player is dead
2)Use a path
3)Change Z-Depth
4)Combine the use of variables and key down events
5)On key down event, use change animation
6)To jump, change y; to move right or left, change x
7)Use physical response
Use 'play music'
9)Change x/y position
10)Make an actor whose animation reflects your health variable/life variable
11)Search the forums for "menu"

HTHs, try searching these forums for more in-depth help.

chaosraptor i read your problem.
Most of your answers can be found on a tutorial.
you can try it on Help .
if you cannot find the tutorial. It is very simple, you just press Get Newest Tutorial at the help function.

it's very easy to understand and just take few hrs.

ok i think u might have confused me even more willg101 and chai ive used all of the tutorials. Now i got questions for your answers willg101.
1.) wut do u mean by variable and how do i get to it?
2.) Ive used paths but when i try to set they path either the actor just flashes a bunch or my actor only walks one way then disappears and starts at other side again.
3.) how do i get to z depth?
4.) Ummmm i got no i dea wut u mean here.
5.) i know key down. but ummm....when i use it and enter variables and crp my character will move but his legs wont. so when i put on other animation his legs keep moving even when the playe stops.
6.)umm ok but how does he come back down?
7.)how do i find physical response?
8.)WHERE IS PLAY MUSIC!?!?!?!
9.)ok i dont get this either.
10.)how???????
11.)ok I'll look
All i really need to know is the location of these thinga BTW can someone give me a list of variables and where to use them?

1) You can create variables in the "Variables" button on Script Editor (Choose a event -> Script Editor)

2) ??

3) Use the Change Z Depth action, or set the initial Z Depth in the Actor Control panel

5) Use the "Change Animation Direction" action

7) Action "Physical Response"

8) Action "Play Music"

i dont see any of these buttons except z depth and i keep looking but i dont see them. at the top of the screen i see the buttons: File, add actor, path, regions, script, game mode, config, and help. when i right click and click actor control all i see is the buttons for : Name, transparency, z depth, clone, remove, stop, tile, text, normal, create at startup, animation, add animation, add sequence, edit remove, parent, path, events/add/edit/remove, recieve events if out of vision, and close.

In the Actor Control panel, click in Event list.
After select an event, you can select the action (Play Music, ...)

Is a good idea look the tutorials at Help menu.

thnx that helped alot but ummmm....how do i make the boss guy move back and forth? ive tried change direction but for some reason the actor "boss 1" is not listed.

ok ive tried adding music...i went to actor control, add event, add activation event, then play music and selected the file i wanted it to play but it wont play when i go to game mode wuts wrong?

Are you using, activation region??

Why you are using an Activation Event?

wut do u mean? i thought thats wut i was supposed to use....anyway could u tell me wut to do for the music. and another thing...i was able to make tiles to walk on but when i jump on them it acts like a trampoline and i bounce on it. and it also acts as ice and the player cant get traction. wuts the deal?

If you are using the Physical Response action, put the event actor velocity = 0

To play a music, just choose an event (mouse button down, collision, create actor...) and use the Play Music action
