Pick player

[Taceo]

On my 2 player platforming game I want to be able to choose player at the start where player 1 uses WASD to choose and 2 uses the arrows. How can I do so this affects the game and also how can I go through the "players".
And I got a one and two players option at start, how can I do this without creating massive amounts of frames?

I would use some Global Value to indicate the amount of players. You can put all events related to the 2nd player in a separete group and at start of frame you just check the Global Value.

-Global Value A = 1      - Deactivate group "2nd player"
-Global Value A = 2      - Activate group "2nd player"

You could set the group deactivated on default and then you would just need the second event to activate it.

How do I do group or something?

[Greg]

Just select Insert > Group of events from the Menu bar

Or if you want to choose where you insert it:

Can't find it in the menu or the event editor :S

You have to right click on the number next to the event.
