Super Mario Bro. Question

GingerBGames

Hello GS'ers,

In the Mario Bros. Games Mario can go down a green tube into a secret area. Once Mario completes the secret area he goes in a tube in that area and exits back to the original area. So my question is this! Is it possible to have two scenes in Gamesalad, and have an actor go from scene 01 tube A, into scene 02 from tube A, while in scene 02, go from tube B, into scene 01 tube B? If so how can this be done? Thank you.

You'll be able to do just this very very soon.

Sweet.

Why not just extend the scene and make the tube not collide with the mario. So that way you have one scene up top, and the tube will take you to the bottom. Then at the end of the bottom area have a tube that makes him go back up top. But if your going for more of a mario style where you don't see him go through the tube than like quantumsheep said, you can pretty soon.
Thanks

You can do this now surely (although a native way would be nicer!).

One way would be when he is entering the tube in Scene 1, for it to save his attributes (scores, where the game was, if he had firepower, etc.), then switch scenes and when he comes back, load these game attributes, along with his location. You could use bootleans like If game.transport = true, then change attribute Mario.Position.x, etc.

I bet it could be done.

That's a way to get it done as well, although I think the idea presented about expanding the scene and have a "teleport" would be the best way to go for now, because it would all be in the same seen and no need to worry about all that extra attributes and save/load stuff.
