1. Go to application properties and change the player controls in one of the tabs.

2. Make another object and always set it to XMouse and YMouse with the set X and Set Y position actions. Then make that obejct look at that mouse object with the Look At action.

3. Same as above but with bouncing ball movement.

4. Make an object transparent in the center and completely black everywhere else to follow the player around. The black area should be big enough to covere the entire screen.

5. Use the function egg timer object.

6. View -> Toolbars ->

7. Under the frame obejct there is an action to center the scrolling on an object. Make sure the frame is bigger than the window or nothign will happen.

Thanks LB for these ,if you can (or anyone ) help me just a bit more i'l be verry happy ,i have some problems ...

It seems that i can't select multiple objects , i tried selecting them in a box ,with control click ,i tried everywhere but it just doesn't work ,am i doing something wrong ? It's hard to paste every tile...


2. What do i want to make :
If a ojects speed (player) is greater than 1 (i did this)
then play a sound (sound 1 ,a step)
wait 500 ms then play other sound (different sound )
then wait 1000 ms and play another sound (different sound )

how do i do this ?

3.When i play a sound if a object is moving it's just earrape ,how do i make it play once and play it again when the first is FINISHED ?

4.I see that when a obj colides with another obj it haves the option to bounce ,how do i make a obj (a ball for example ) bounce faster or slower ?

Thanks !

1. You have to hold SHIFT, not Control. Control is for dragging an object while holding Control to make another instance of it.

2. Like I said, use the Function EggTimer. You can't enter miliseconds because MMF2's event loop only runs every 10 miliseconds.

3. Add 'Only One Action on Event Loop" from under the special object conditions -> Limit conditions ->
Then do the same thing for when it is stopped.

4. Change the speed of it after it bounces, is that it? I don't know what you mean.

2. Or use the "Wait For" object to count frames
