    The videos are not meant to be watched in a particular order, they are designed to each teach you an individual concept. The videos assume a basic understanding of GS and its usage.

    You don't "need" photoshop and illustrator, you can always use free equivalents like GIMP or paint.net. Of course adobe software has many more features, but they are quite costly.

    This video,i am having problems with this video.which buttons he presses when the ship goes up,,and when the mouse button is down the ship still goes up
  • EatingMyHatEatingMyHat Member Posts: 1,246
    When the rule says mouse button down, he clicks on the mouse to make it move and as long as he holds the button down it will continue to go up. If you have a mouse with two buttons, it is the left one.

    I am using mac book,and the ship keeps coming from the button,how he does that

    This is normal. Think of pushing a boat through water. Even though you let go, it keeps moving.

    If you want it to return back to move back down, create another attribute (when mouse button up) with another accelerate behavior in the opposite direction.

    If you want it to stop on a dime, use the move behavior instead of the accelerate.

    Can you post a screenshot of your rule?

    Or just add some drag under its physics attributes if you want to use accelerate but want it to stop immediately

    Sorry man that's not how to upload a screenshot... You need to have the image hosted to an online server such as dropbox. Then you should use some basic HTML to embed the image into your comment so that we won't have to click the link.

    You need to expand more on what you're trying to achieve exactly.
  • AKHANAKHAN Member Posts: 79
    Here is no expert who has full control on GS

    @AKHAN are you using google translate? it is very hard to understand what you need.

    I am wasting time,i mean to say
  • IsabelleKIsabelleK Member, Sous Chef Posts: 2,807
    If you think that you are wasting your time here, then think about us - trying to help you with the simplest things - and this would be fine - me, and other guys like to help new users, but we first need to guess what you are talking about, and what is your question.
    It will be great, and noone will waste his time if you write full sentences, accurately describing your problem.

    I warned you that this is not that easy as you think.

    @AKHAN Actually, you are wasting everyone's time with pretty much every thread you have created. You make outrageous and nonsensical statements, awesome your own comments (for whatever reason), don't follow the simplest of instructions and then say, it is everyone else's fault.

    13 year olds on this site have better forum etiquette than you do and have a better grasp on what they are trying to achieve. You on the other hand, appear to be trying to stir things up.

    For someone who needs help, you are not trying very hard on your end. Either try harder (put some edfort in this) or hang it up.
  • AKHANAKHAN Member Posts: 79
    First of all i didnt awesomed my own comments that is not true and i didnt said that it is someone else fault,i am just saying that the videos are too hard too understand

    @AKHAN you admitted yourself in one your old threads. You should take a good look at your posts and think about the way you are coming off.
  • domeniusdomenius Member Posts: 108
    Yeah, because everyone here thinks that "these links don't work" and "can someone help me with my project" are prolific statements full of truth and awesome. Sure, you didn't do it, whatever keeps your ego on track.

    Anyways, if you have a specific question about something you saw in the video you did not understand there are plenty of people here who would be more than happy to help you, myself included, but you haven't really asked a question other than what RP answered quite eloquently for you. If GS is "too hard to understand" and you aren't willing to take the time to experiment or learn on your own behalf, you may want to get a different hobby. Bricklayer might work out.. maybe concrete mixer? No, wait! You could hold the "stop" sign at a local construction site! But all kidding aside, making games requires thought and logical reasoning no matter what tool you make it in. If that just isn't how you roll, making games is gonna be very very hard for you.
