I'm a newb at script

[Donutslayer]

I've used other programs, but when it comes to game editor I'm a newb, I would like to know some script editor commands like gravity, all I know in the script editor is how to move left and right. I need to know how to make a command wait until the first part happens (y = y + 5 wait 1 second y = y - 5) doesn't work


please help

You can get some information about the Game-Edito scripting here.

Oh, do you want to know how to jump, and then fall back down?
That's simple, here's what ya do: Go to keydown (choose the key you want/make sure you set the reapeat to disable) -> add action, script editor:

yvelocity = yvelocity - 8;

We now have the ability to jump.
Then add an event -> draw actor ->script editor:

yvelocity = yvelocity + .8;

We now have gravity to pull us back down.
All that is left to do is add ground. Make another actor called ground. Give it an animation, maybe just a line made from ms paint. When you are done, go to the "jumping" actor. Add an event -> collision -> physical response, On: any side, Of Actor: ground, Repeat this event while actor is colliding: yes -> edit action, leave everything as is EXCEPT the first number under Final Velocity Multiplyer. Change that number to zero. Click OK, immediate action. Go to game-mode, and try it out.
I hope I answered your question.

thanks, I think I've figured it out, but can't you really just put y = y - 8 instead of yvelocity

[DST]

in fact, you can just put y+=8; instead of either of those.

However, if you're making gravity, you'd probably want to use yvelocity, since you go faster and faster as you fall.

thanks for all the help but I mostly want to know how to make something wait

WAIT ONE SECOND
then
explode animation 1
WAIT ONE SECOND HOW DO I MAKE SOMETHING WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
then
change animation {explode animation 2}

[DST]

use a timer!

[Freddy]

Lol, OK:

1. Go to the actor, add event "draw actor" -> create timer. Click on the "timer" button, and select ''new timer". Name the timer, give it a time (it's in milliseconds, so make sure that you do 2000 for 2 seconds). Click OK.
2. Add the event called "timer" located at the bottom of the events list. Click the timer button, and select your timer. Add action -> change animation. Choose your explosion animation, click add -> immediate action.
3. Add event -> animation finish, (the explosion animation) -> change animation, (to whatever your next animation is)
You're done!
