Hi all, I just started playing with Game Editor and I'm impressed! I've been trying to create a PAC MAN like game and have run into a wall of sorts. I've created the actor, backgrounds, music and a splash screen. However I have some questions about the maze part. I have the main actor moving using the arrow keys with animation. I tried using tiles but the actor just walks right through them! Whats the best way to setup a maze and control the actors path through the maze? I went through the cave man demo but mt tiles don't seem to stop the characters movement. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

You have to use PhysicalResponse. Use the tile method, it will help out if you are making more levels. The next thing is to have a collision event for your main actor, pacman. I suggest using the script editor, as using it later will help a lot.

pacman -> Collide(tile actor/repeat) -> Script Editor

Code: Select all

PhysicalResponse(MOVE_EVENT_ACTOR_ONLY, USE_CALCULATED_MASS, 1, 1, 0, 0);

PhysicalResponse will prevent moving through the actors.

Hey, awesome. Took me a second to get it to work. Didn't set the repeat so I think it fired then let me walk through. Thanks for the assist!

You can also make a collision into the tile actor and give it a script of x=0 or xvelocity=0

ESL, x=0 wont work, that will move the player back to 0 on the x axis. I would have x - or +1, depending on whatever side of the tile he collides with. Also, having thicker walls may help, because they wont be as easy to pass through by accident.

Ok there Is a step by step tutorial section. Not the one that comes with Game Editor but the ones I made. I made a pac-man game tutorial. Click the link in my signature to visit this section. Thank you and good-luck with your games.
