Actor Repeats Events??

[PerfectioN]

This is probably a really stupid noob question, although i did just start using GE a few days ago, however, when i add an actor and set an event. For example I will 'Key Up' and use the 'Right Arrow Button' to change paths which i may use to walk a few paces in front of my character. After i set this event, I go to 'Game Mode' and click the 'Right Arrow' which i just previously set to an event to 'Change Path'. However when i click the 'Right Arrow' my character moves forward, seemingly how i want it to, but after it finishes this path, it restarts the path over, and does it again, and again, constantly going from the beginning to the end of the path and cannot be stopped.

Can anyone help me please "/

Also if anyone can give me some basic guidelines for GE i would greatly appreciate it because i'm struggling just trying to get up a basic game xD

Actor Control -> add event -> path finish -> change path -> none

[jimmynewguy]

what are you using paths for, just to move the actor? If you are use x += instead, so say you won't the actor to move to the right 5 pixles

Actor Control -> add event -> keydown right-> repeat yes -> script editor -> x += 5; -> immediate action

if your not using it this way, sorry i wasted your time but really if you need help make a topic or PM someone, no question is a stupid one here. We all understand how hard it is to start off, we all did. Some with experience before others(like me) just geeky little kids who always wanted to make games

u cant use paths for walking because when you are in the air you will float when moving forward...

use xvelocity or x

and welcome to the forum

When i made my first ge game, i was using paths for bullets! lolololol!

[BlarghNRawr]

I have never ever used paths yet. Until some months went by I hadn't realized that feature was avaiable.
