Hey guys,

Q1:
I am making a side scroller, but watching a tutorial it said to made the BG non collidable and not moveable, in the properties there is an option for not moveable but collidable has changed to collision shape?
Any advice, will it effect the image?

Q2:
How do i make a image/create on the floor collidable so that the player stops when he hits it and has to jump over it?

Thanks guys.
Will.

You might want to check out the videos on the youtube Cookbook page. Sounds like you're just starting out, and these videos are a great place to get the feel of the basics of GameSalad.

Got it, you add a colide node.

Thanks.

Ah, sorry.

If it's the background, you don't have anything to worry about. It doesn't have any collision physics, so it's not going to matter what the collision shape is set to.

That collision shape option is to make a square actor have the physics of a round one, like a ball or something, but if you don't have moveable and rules for collision, it wont matter what it's set to.
