Can anyone tell me the difference in the attributes in GS. You dont have to go into a lot of detail, but it would be good to know. Just curious
Thanx

    It's in the wiki
    Gamesalad.com/wiki. Click on reference guide.

    I'd link to it, but it's too. Hard to search from my phone.

    injspecting a demo game, I saw that an actor had rules that checked the value of different attributes, but the attributes window did not have any of those. Then I found out that there are 'general' atributes and atributes that only affect (and 'live') inside an actor. Is that correct? Are there also attributes that can only affect a scene? And if I use the reset scene behaviour, all those would reset too? That would be great :)

    Hi Diegan, yes you're correct, there are 3 places where attributes can be made: the Prototype actor (one that's in the Inspector but not on-screen), Scene attributes and finally game attributes.

    Any one of the 3 types of attributes can affect a scene but:

    If you're using Prototype actor attributes, these can only be accessed by another actor if that actor is unlocked (making it an Instance). Although a locked actor can access its self attributes, of course.

    If you're using scene attributes, these can be accessed by any unlocked actors from within that particular scene only.

    If you're using game attributes, these can be accessed by any actor, whether locked or unlocked, from any scene in the game.

    Yes, using the Reset scene behaviour will reset all scene attributes. I don't think it'll reset game attributes though, but might also reset self attributes, although I'm not certain about that; I'll need confirmation from another member there... (I've not used Reset Scene yet; that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!)

    :-)
