I have been fiddling with GE for a few days now and have managed to play with some basics, balls bouncing and speeding up and so on but what I really want to do is make a construction game.

What would be the easiest way to connect 2 actors together so that when they are picked up with the mouse they will all move as one object?

Is this what you wanted? If they actually are connected then you can use parent and collide. I can explain other methods if you still don't get it, or if this is not what you wanted.

You could also have an actor variable connected, and set it to a variable. Then have a global variable, called selected. In the draw of your actors;
Any->DrawActor->Script Editor

Code: Select all

if(connected==selected)
{
    FollowMouse("Event Actor", BOTH_AXIS);
}

Then when you click an actor, it sets selected to the actor's connected.
Any->MouseButtonDown(Drag)->Script Editor

Code: Select all

selected=connected;

And whenever you want to connect certain actors, set their connected to the same number.

Really appreciated that you got back to me on this. I will have a play over the weekend and let you know how I am getting on.
