How can I get the player walk automatically at start using PMO?

What exactly is a PMO? If you give a description maybe I can help.

Platform Movement Object

Yes, it's platform movement object.

Uh, well you can't until you assign values such as controls and whatnot.

So, first you would activate the character (that is if the obstacles are backdrops):

PMO: Test for obstacle overlap
+ Player is overlapping a backdrop
- Object does overlap with obstacle

and for simple movement, you would simply put:

Repeat while "Right Arrow" is pressed
- User is holding right input key

then you would do this for all of the keys you are using.

Rabagast - I have doen something similar to this before but it didn't work exactly as i intended but the basic principles are still the same:

What i did was assign the object to the PMO.
Use a flag to change the direction of the object.
I made it change direction whenever it collided with the backdrop.

For example

If Flag 0 is on - go left
If Flag 0 is off - go right

I controlled jumping by identifying if the object collided with a jump trigger. this gave the illusion of semi intelligent AI.

Couple this with a wait system and also a line of sight system and you could create something rather impressive.
