Re: Top down game

You're basically asking as about most of the game. It's your project not ours, but we can help you with it. For the menu and pickups, try to use the broadcast command. For example...

when [startButton] clicked
broadcast [startGame v]
Then...

when i receive [startGame v]
Game script here

Re: Top down game

Use the hide command on each player.
EG-

Player a is chosen

Player A -

when i receive [playerA chosen v]
show
game script here
Player B,C and D
when i receive [playerA chosen v]
hide

Re: Top down game

Lol, this would be as far as I'd go with explaining. Menus and character selections are simple. Enemy AI is a little more complicated.  smile

I'll see if I can come up with one (though someone will probably beat me to it)
