Hello, I just started using Game Editor to see if I can make some games for mobile devices. I come from a computer background primarily, but can't seem to understand how to make a new level for my game. Can anyone, or does anyone have or know of any tutorials on how to make a new level for my game.

Sorry, I do apalogize as I am new in using Game Editor, and just don't understand regions or anything about the making of a new level. Id like to ask that you please ""dumb-down"" your replies so that I can understand. Like I said - I am a newbie with Game Editor.

Any tutorials from start to finish, about how to create levels, or make a new level would be great.

Thanks in advance.

if you have purchased GE you can export levels as .dat and load them...right? some one might have to correct me on this...
Edit: Yes you can, Make a .ged that just has the basics of the game, the player enemies, pickups ect. Then save it, make a level out of it, but save it as level 1 or something so you dont have to keep making the game over, you have the "main ged" with all the functions. Make level 2 3 4 ect, then when ever you want to go to level export it as .dat , then you have to use the LoadGame("level2.dat"); funtion and it will bring it up. There is also a demo for loading from external files, hold on i will find it......... ok http://game-editor.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=6011 a little more advanced, but it may be more of what you are looking for.

Here is a simple way of doing it. It just loads a new .ged. The problem with this is that you don't have a central .ged file as jimmynewguy said. But it really depends on what you want to do. There are many other methods out there, one being activation regions, you could also use the load and saveVars. Look at this for the list of all the functions, you can learn a lot from it.http://game-editor.com/docs/script_reference.htm

the esiest way to make levels, is to make the levels first, each one seperate from eachother (so the view cant see into another level) then once you have the levels made... simply click the buttont on the top that sayes activation or somthing like that... and then add new activation region. Put a region around each level. then once your player or whatever hits the end of the level of the event that triggers the end of the level, simply move the player, view and anything else that needs to be moved (such as score) to level 2 and so on for each level!
i can try to explain in a little more depth if needed PM if you want it
