How do i link buttons

Phoenix256

I want to make it to when I press the play button the character starts running, all I know is to change the scene, but I want him to run on the first scene, so how do I link the play button to the character starting to run.

The way actors communicate in GameSalad is through game attributes (called "global variables" in programming languages). If you have one actor (the play button) change the value of a game attribute such as changing game.startRunning (a boolean) to true, then have a rule in the other actor (the runner) that If attribute game.startRunning is true... start running (that might be a Move behavior, etc.).
