Can I do this with Game-Editor

[zexmorf]

Im very low on days left on my Trial, so before I buy the software I want to make sure that it can do what I want in this release. (It probally can)

I got alot working already, but cant get the player to move object around the screen.
This is what I want to do on my Qtek 8310
1: PlayerX picksup BlockY move BlockY left or right then release BlockY.
Then picks up BlockZ move BlockZ.

2: Can I create levels that are been read from a .TXT file containing my level info. f.instance
0 = Background block
1 = BlockY
2 = BlockZ
X = Transparent

level.txt contains

000000000000000000
00xxxxxxxx00xxxx00
00xxxxxxxxxxxxxx00
000010000001000000
00000xxxxx00000000
000000220000000000


Sorry for my poor ASCII art skillz.

Hope this makes sence.

Thanks for the replay Markslane, that looks very good, but what about the first question.

Can my Player actor pickup another actor, move it around and drop to just to pick up another actor.

In some event of PlayerX (like when collide with BlockY) add this Script Editor action:

ChangeParent(BlockY, "Event Actor");

To release BlockY:

ChangeParent(BlockY, "no parent");

You can do also a 'brake' variable wich is on when there is no collisions.

I just got the program today (yep bought it today), so Im a super noob regarding this, so an example would be great
Thanks for helping out.

Make a variable (for example brakeVar).
When the actor is not touching the block, it's x and y velocity are 0;
When the actor collides with the block, the brakeVar is off and the actor can move.
