Hi, i only just started using Game Editor today and i am having a problem making my first game.

ofcourse as i am new i have decided to start with a simple "maze game" but i am having problems making the walls.

so far:
i made the "player" and gave it the appropriate controls,
i made the "floor" starting by making it an actor and then a tile.
i made the "walls" starting by making it an actor then a tile, but i dont know how to make the "player" unable to walk over the wall.

any1 know how?

In the player collizion to the walls add "psychical reponse" "any side" of actor to walls.
Look the tourials in the "help" button in program .

hmmm..... im still having problems

ok, ive added a collision event. i put it on the "player" and put on any side of wall, i put "repeat this event while player is coliding" on yes .

then i added physical response,
move: colide actor only
mass: specify
event actor: 1
colide actor: 1
final velocity multiplier:
event actor: 1
collide actor: 1

i try the game out on game mode and when i colide with a wall it moves me backwards. when i colide into wall again i just go through it,

what i want is when the player colides with wall the player will stop. (every time it colides with the wall)

Set the final velocity multiplier to zero.

If the collision is set on the player, shouldnt the "move:" be event actor instead of collide actor?

zip it up and post it here. I'll take. Be sure that the settings are applied to the other objects the same way.

Look, every game has a primary directory (folder) with the GE file and undo file in it, and a subfolder called "data"with all the graphics/support files in it. Both need to be in the zip or we cant load the game.
