Help with certain features

MatthewLetsDesign

Hello, after working with Game Salad for a few days I've managed to come up with a little game, It's a good engine which I like using, however I have some issues which I can't work out:

- How to create a repeating enemy path: left-right-left-right
- Multidirectional, how do you make an actor move diagonally using keyboard keys.

Any help would greatly be appreciated, I don't have the PRO version of Game Salad.

Hi Matthew, I just recently posted a tutorial on elevators in Gamesalad that has the elevator actors moving back and forth between two set positions, you might find it helpful:

Welcome to the forums,

We are a place where people can come looking for answers, but the question should searched before asking. I recommend you checking out gamesalad.com/cookbook for lots of basic info for movement and other things and searching YouTube will show you tons of tuts on gamesalad. Also you can check out deepblueapps.com and gshelper.com for some helpful tools and knowledge, or search the forums for answers.

Once again welcome to the forums/gamesalad and best of luck to you

@MatthewLetsDesign Welcome! Moving diagonally is accomplished by coding movement for both directions (e.g. up and right) separately. It just works... there's no trick to it. If you only want diagonal movement and not straight up and right movements, that's a little harder so let me know.

Here's a demo that shows the answer to both of your questions:
