Nano War tutorial

Couple newbie questions re: the Nano War tutorial for MMF2:

-The tutorial shows the screen centering event with the display positioned at (-1, 2) relative to the fighter object. Mine comes up as (0, 0) relative to the fighter. Can I change that?

-When I try Step 9 (limiting the movement of the ship) and set the condition for when the ship leaves the play area, the condition letters are in red, and when I try to set Movement for the fighter object to Stop, the Stop option is grayed out and I can't select it. What am I doing wrong here?

Welcome I'm not familiar with the tutorial but I can answer a couple of questions...

When you do the screen centering action, you should have a dialogue box showing the coordinates and the object. Click on the object you want to centre on and it'll change to (0,0) from that object - after that, you can modify the X and Y coordinates in the dialogue box. (Alternatively you can click on the object and then drag the indicator that appears over it.)

The condition letters in red aren't anything to worry about just now - they're an indication that this event is triggered in a different way from the normal top-to-bottom order of reading events (an immediate event) and it won't matter for this project. I'm not sure why you can't select Stop, though - what kind of movement does the Fighter have assigned to it?

Cool! Got the centering adjusted. Thanks!

Fighter currently has 8 direction movement, limited to the left and right directions.
