Making rules to move actor with keyboard but nothing happens.

LucasJG1994

here's the code

Bellow

with this one when you hit W button your actor will move right side with speed of 300 .

try to put it actor not prototype.

if this not work try this make the same rule when W key down

do

change attribute

choose actor self - motion - velocity - x to 100

andd if you want to go left side

same rules - x -100

if you want to stop your actor when you are not pressing anything

create a new rule

if key w is up
if key (left side key) is up

do

change attribute

actor self - motion- velocity - x to 0

Thanks for the reply but the problem lies within the key function.

For example: I tested it with the mouse button and it worked fine, but when I added the key function for the keyboard the actor doesn't move even if you use the mouse button.

Swap the controls to another button (for example the Space Bar or the Right Arrow) key - to see if the will work.

Mmmmmm . . . . . try and even more simple test on a new actor.

Make a new actor, give it a simple rule based on a key press, for example when W is pressed change colour red to 0 . . . see if that works.

Did that too.

@LucasJG1994 Are you sure your actor is set to moveable ?

If you're using a 13.x version, make sure you've clicked the preview window to give it focus and if you're using arrow keys you need to make sure there's no actor selected in the scene before you preview.

Both issues are fixed in the preview release: http://forums.gamesalad.com/discussion/89294/windows-creator-preview-release

Should t your actor being moving in relation to scene...not actor?
