Hi Ashton,

Receiving a game by email is no different from downloading it from a web site.



You could make a game using sticks but GE is best with animations.

Good luck!

dude im trying it i dont no any thing can someone show me how to make a moving game just left and just going rite any thing i need help

[jazz_e_bob]

Start Game Editor.

Click on Help.

The "getting started" section is a good place to start.

[ashton777]

i did i cant get to data how do you get there and to move my guy i press add and then key down then skript editor but it wont let me pass i no the code to move left and right but it wont let me pass

[jazz_e_bob]

OK

Lets simply things by starting with a new game.

Add an actor - call him "player".

Right mouse click on Player and go to Actor Control.

Add Event KeyDown

Press left arrow key

Select Script

Type x = x - 4;

Click Add

Click Immediate Action

Click Close

Click Close


Now in Game Mode you should be able to move your player left. ( I'll let you work out how to make the player move right..
)

[jazz_e_bob]

You'll need gravity if you are going to jump.

Right mouse click player

Add event Draw Actor

Add action script

Type yvelocity = yvelocity + 1;

Add

Immediate Action

Close

Close

how do you add gravity or no gravity

[jazz_e_bob]

If you don't use the code I mentioned above you will have no gravity.

There is a platformer tutorial under the help menu. You should check it out. It will answer all of your questions and teach you a bit about how Game Editor works.

[ashton777]

ya but when i put it in i play it mmakes me fall down not up is there something els

[jazz_e_bob]

That's right. Gravity will make your player fall down.

Add an actor called "platform".

When "player" collides with platform use Physical Response with the final velocity multiplier of the event actor set to 0.

This means that player can land safely on the platform.

Now to jump. On key press "UP" use yvelocity = -6;
