I'm a beginner, and my mind's blanking on these right now:
* How do I make my character jump?
* How do I add to lives, subtract from them, etc?
* How do I change my character's strength, etc?
* How do I center my character to the screen, and put the lives in the top left corner so they stay there as I move?
I know that I should know these things, and I do, I just forgot. I checked on help and looked around the area of the software I know, but I couldn't find the answers.
Whoops.
Next time you post a whole bunch of questions, you really should number them to make it easier for us to reply to.
For jumping, you just need to have a y velocity value. When the player hits the jump key, set the y velocity value to something like -10, then add 1 to that at every frame, and add that to the player's y coordinate. When they hit a platform from the top or bottom, set their velocity to 0.
Lives? I think they work just like the counters.
Strength... what do you mean by strength?
For your lives, turn off 'follow frame', and for centering, look in the application object's actions, there should be a center view on object action.
I assume your character is using the built-in platform movement, so to make him jump, simply edit the properties of the character's movement and select a jump key.
Lives are added or extracted in the event editor. Look for the joystick icon, you can do life action from that one.
Please clarify what you mean by strength.
To center the character in the screen, the frame area needs to be bigger than the game window. Then do as LazyCoder told you. The scrolling actions are found from the Storyboard controls icon, under Scrollings.
Strength... At a camp I went to, I learned about strength. It was supposed to increase/ decrease how high the player would jump.
And I have 8-directional movement.
Please do not double post, use the edit button...
For a jumping character, I would suggest platform movement.
for adding/subtracting lives, set up a counter. You can double click it and then edit the frames, and create hearts or whatever you want. You do the addition/subtraction in the event editor.
Strength Im not so sure about, although if I needed to I could figure something out.
for centering, create condition always, and then under the checkerboard thing, right click and go scrollings>center window position in frame, then relative to your character, then the co ordinates (0,0)
sorry about double posting.
I figured out about strength and gravity.
Thanks.
