is gameEditor the best out there?

[Blobnoid]

Hi, im Blobnoid
Im new to this making games stuff. So a good tutorial is very important to me, and frankly is was kind of dissapointed by the one GameEditor has. It showed me how to to things step by step, but every now and then it would be unable to execute a certain command. This was mostly because it wanted to use an actorname (for a newly created actor) with was already in use. The program then gave a notice via a window however the cursor (witch moves by itself in tutorialmode) ignored this window and went on like normal. Therefor failing to click on any other items as it had to click 'ok' on the error notice first. As a result nothing was explained to me and i was still non the wiser. This has left me hesitant obout buying GameEditor as a good tutorial is paramount.
In short: Does GameEditor have a good tutorial dispite these glitches? And if not, what other user friendly programs are out there?
One last question is about the scripting. In the tutorial it showed how to move an actor to the left and right. The tutorial opend a scripting window and started scripting without giving me any explanation as to WHAT is was doing. I did make out that 'x' stood for horizontal and that '5' stood for 5 squares of movent, but the rest eluded me. Does GameEditor cover the scripting section in its tutorials? Thats it. Reply or suffer the wrath of LORD BLOBNOID! Thank you

Good evening Blodnoid,
The tutorial problems you described are not glitches. Those are actually videos that demonstrate you how to do the things. So when you launch a tutorial, all you need to do is sit back and learn. Everything is automatic and it will say you what the script is doing. But it makes it after it has wrote the needed code. (Easier to explain afterwards)
Note: it's better to start with the beginner tutorials and then advance when you understand what they are doing.

And welcome to the forums!

Some computers fail to play the tutorials properly. I am betting you are on a laptop, or you use a video card that is part of the motherboard?

GE is well worth the money, for the community alone. If you have specific trouble with any aspect or tutorial, ask here and you will be taught.

game editor cannot do everything with buttons, so the script editor allows you to use regular c code to do things better. it is extremely useful in many situations.
