kajuto

Hi everyone .! Recently I made 3 actor, one Left Button , second one Right Button and third one is a character, when the first two actor touch it will move left or right and it's fine but I want to put a Animation Behavior of the character simulating that is runnin either left or right. Where should I put the animation behavior and how? Please explain step by step please

when left button touch is pressed

animate


you;ll have to draw the character;s animation yourself though

I did that it animate the character inside the button.... The 3 actor are separate.... Isn't the left button same as the character

@Kajuto .. You can also download the free tool box created by p-o-m. I contributed a section on jump, double jump and it shows how to control the various animation states etc. Theres also lots of super useful stuff in there.

you will need to tell the computer what to do with a gameAttribute … index type … name something like touchFlow
0 = stand still
1 = run Left
2 = run Right

on leftButtonActor:
Rule: when
Event: touch is pressed
--changeAttribute: game.touchFlow To: 1

ah … here is a demo:   http://www.mediafire.com/?rgel884lpf3myb9

(sssh! I swiped two images of the little blue guy from GS Platformer Template … don't tell @SSS … I am in enough trouble!)

If you're timer is only 40 seconds why do you need the minute? Just put a dummy zero in front of it.

But some scene I want to make it 2 minutes ... How should I
Do it ?

Instead of 0:40 second I want to show it like this 2:00s let say..
