Okay I started on this a while ago and know some things. But I want to know this....

How do I make it so when I pick someone like Mario in a character selection and then it shows a picture about him. After that I pick a level and when it starts i'm Mario. Then when it's done and I want to play as Luigi and pick a level and when I start I'm luigi. How do I do this?

Here, I made a little sample program. Study the scripts and you'll understand. If you have any questions, just ask. Oh, and there's one problem you might have: I made it in version 1.3.9 So, this might not be compatible with you Game Editor... Worth a try...

ya I tried an it doesn't work... Could you just post the script? Or something like that?
Please and Thank you

Very simple...but first, do you know how to add user variable?

No I don't how?

Ummm...you need to know it first...
No mean to tease you...but, this will need a lot of variables

woops! I found it out.... But I did use them before. So I do know how. I just forgot what they were.
sorry

I'll make a demo tomorow...I'm really tired...

You don't need many variables. On onclick just use change animation. If the animation for that picture is Mario, then change animation-> Mario animations. No need for variables, just check for the type of animations used earlier.
Do you understand? I could detail.

But how about Changing Animation of an actor which you control?
It need variable...

Devil Metal Knight said that there would be a picture that shows the chosen character. With an if statement it can be solved.
An actor with animations have a property called animindex.
If you've got two animations, the 1.st is Mario, the 2nd is Luigi, then for Mario the animindex is 0; for Luigi it's 1;
In Key-down event add if statement
if animindex == 0
Use mario anim
if animindex ==1
Use Luigi anim
No need to understand variables. But they are usefull! Should know them, and I have no objection on doing it with variables, but it can be done other ways... If that's your weak-point.

Thanx wrote:if animindex == 0
Use mario anim
if animindex ==1

For the second one, you'd want to use an else if, so you don't need to check again if the first was true... or even better, use a switch.
