ok heres the situation. i grabbed the Official Cross Platform Controller Template. yep i like it a LOT and want to thank Game Salad for providing it. the only problem is. i have my game almost done. and i need the controls to work much smoother. i think this will cause MUCH better feedback, and in turn, much better sales. so i decided to go with the Thumbstyle 2 version. gotta copy each and every actor and attribute, and all the behaviors. now this would be good and all if it didnt delete EVERYTHING thats not in the normal game behaviors. but even the attributes i copied still show up blank till i input them individually. i dont know if ill be able to copy everything EXACTLY, and if i do itll probably take me 4 or 5 hours lol. and if i do, and it doesnt work ill NEVER be able to find the mistake. IS THERE ANY WAY TO MERGE AT ALL??? i always see things about mergers not working. or to copy behaviors from one project to the next without losing all the attributes? sorry for the long long post. and sorry if this is elsewhere, tho i couldnt find it.

im about to give up and just go with controls that i KNOW will work. though these work sooo smooth. i wish there were video tutorials on these. because they are sooo nice.

    Like you said, 4 or 5 hours work and sometimes it still doesn't work, this tool does it in seconds, everything gets imported across correctly, i can't speak highly enough of it. This tool has been a god send for me! Well worth the £30! Once merged, adjust your actors to react to those controls and job done :)

    thanks beefy.

    i think ill grab that, and maybe grab a bundle pack. the resizer sound like its worth its weight in gold. and a lot of the other tools look awesome. just wondering, have you had ANY problems at all with the merging? like maybe certain attributes not copying or anything? ive read a lot of people having bad exp with this , but i think those posts were almost a year ago. and i dont want to dish out that much if theres going to be problems XD. thanks again.

    Mate works perfectly :) The only problem i ever had was after a GS update, it would move everything across except pictures, you had to do that manually, would take a couple of minutes but they update the tool and always works flawlessly for me. The Resizer is awesome too, it doesn't always get the deep nested values in rules but like it claims, gets 90% and what would take you months on your own to do, takes a few hours. I have most, if not all their tools and the merger and the resized are by far the best.

    Well all the DBA tools werent around a year ago, so your reading posts about people trying to do it manually. All the tools work perfect for me as well, such a time saver. Once in a while you might have to switch a attribute value yourself ( ex: you have somethign spawn at x100 but on the ipad you would want it x200) but other then that they work beautifully and 100% off the time. And that switch isnt a problem to do yourself anyway. You can also count on updates from dba as well. So definetly worth it imo

    Edit: beefy summed it up perfect ;)
