A few questions from a new hand

Hello everyone,
I'm just on studying game salad, and following a tutorial to make a small game.

Anyway, I made it. But I find some questions when I was making this game.

1.In "behaviors>move:move type", there are "additive" and "stacked". So, what's the effect by each of them?

2. What's the different use to "actor mode" and "camera mode" in a scene interface?

3.The tutorial asked me to edit "Restitution" under "Attributes>Physics".
But I didn't find it under that path in game salad. I thought the edition of game salad in my tutorial was old.
So how can I find this? Where is it?

4.What's the difference between "Move" and "Change Velocity"?

Thank you~

    I had this problem starting out too. I think these tutorials are based off of an old version. In 10.3 I believe restitution is bounciness.

    EDIT: Oh and welcome to GameSalad and its forums :)

    Hopefully someone else will be able to answer some or all of your other questions.

    1. additive is as it sounds, you're adding movement to any current movement. Like so:

    actor is moving at speed 20 and you move (additive) 5, total speed = 25

    2. stacked is an interruption in current movement and replace with new. Like so:

    actor is moving at speed 20 and you move (stacked) 5, total speed = 5
