For beginers who want to move or jump.

First add an animation using either 1 page of sprites organized from up to down, or have different files and name them the same.(tailsfly1 tailsfly2 tailsfly3)

Then add keydown and press the right button, then do a script editor: x = x + 8; and also add a change animation.

And for the left type left type x = x - 8;

Then click on the upper button saying script, and global code, then click the bottom right button saying Variabals and click add, then type canjump.

Then make a ground actor called ground or something and add a collision on the player and a script editor saying: canjump = 1; Then add a collision, physical response, 1
1
0
1
And add it.

THEN add a key down and press your jump button, then script editor saying:

if(canjump==1)
{
yvelocity = -8;
canjump=0;
}

THEN add a global code/variabal called floater.

AND LAST BUT NOT LEAST, add a draw actor for your player and a script editor saying:

if (floater==0)
{
yvelocity += .3;
if(yvelocity > 20) yvelocity = 20;
}
if (floater==1 && canjump==0)
{
yvelocity += .2;
if(yvelocity > 20) yvelocity = 20;
}



THE END!!!

Lesson 2. to make an actor move.

to go right:

Code: Select all

your actor will now move.

Lesson 3. to test a game, do the following.

click game mode and press left and right keys or whatever your movement
key are.

you have tested the game.

[Rux]

to go right:

Code: Select all

x=x+5;

to go left:

Code: Select all

x=x-5;

You can also type

Code: Select all

x+=5;

Wich is a shorter way of going right.

Code: Select all

x-=5;

Wich is a shorter way of going left.

[automail10]

Rux too, Yay! hopefuly begginers will refer to difrrent parts of the topic.

[supa-tails]

Hey, yeah, that could be important for RPG fans! (I just now woke up and it's 11:24 in the morning!!!

Lesson 4. To make the view follow the player.

Select the Veiw Actor and make the player the parent of the view.

[supa-tails]

Oh yeah! That's very important! I almost forgot! You wouldn't want your character walking off screen.

Lesson 4, or is it 5? anyway, animations.
Nobody wants to play a game with a dumb pacman. Thats why GE has the add animation option. In the actor control menu, select add animation. Here, you can give your actor animations that you copied or have drawn. I like use microsoft paint personally. When you have chosen an image you like, press ok. And now your actor is someone else!

[automail10]

Freddy! you'r teaching too, yay!
