2 Players to Choose From

luke2125

Hi,

Currently working on game that has 1 Player, however, what is the best method for 2 Players. In other words, when the game begins, the user would need to choose between 1 Player ( Male ) or 1 Player ( Female ), then the game begins with the actor that the user choose on the previous screen. Should I duplicate the whole game ( levels ), and just changed the actor graphic, or is there a better method in accomplishing this......? Would appreciate and feedback........Thanks and God Bless.....

Sincerely,

Sunday

you can create an integer attribute like "player1character" and when the player choose the character you change the attribute to 1 or 2 or everything you want. then in the main character you put a rule like this one: when attribute "player1character" is = 1 --> change image to character1image and so

i hope you understand

Do you guys have any examples of this? I would love to see a proj file with the option of being able to chose your character at the beginning of the game.

That was one of the first things I figured out on my own in Game Salad. I made to game attribute booleans, then made an actor in level 1 to spawn either the ranged user or melee user based on the selection two scenes back.

In that scene, a black and white version of the character is shown once you pick them. Both that and the character that spawns at level 1 determined by the true/false statuses of the booleans.
