Guess it wasn't that big of a deal after all. Change Attribute game.life and game.score and then rock and roll. Thanks again scitunes!!!

I honestly can't figure out what reset scene or game does. I have given up on them completely. Now I actually go in and reset all the attributes manually with change attribute. So I would put this in

Actually, the game.Audio.Volume Attribute only affects the bg music. SFX are controlled separately.

Well, in theory just use a collide rule, but as I'm sure you can see theory and practice do not always dovetail. If that isn't working you could try having a rule that says when collides with other a

Quick Question, how do you set it so when, your actor collides with another actor, it'll stop moving or it cant get past it? Thanks in advance!

Here's what I do for jumping which could work for the pinball if you use a vector to angle sort of thing to get the angle. To make it jump consistently I have a boolean attribute that I use to check f

I like to think of game attributes as middlemen or even interpreters. Actor 1 is unable to communicate with Actor 2 directly. So I create a game attribute so that Actor 1 can "tell"

You could also do this even slicker if you have gravity in play. Constrain a transparent pointer actor to an edge point of the rotating actor. Then give that pointer impact physics. Then tie the rot

Attributes are no more than containers to store values.

Set Attribute Game.resetScene = true

I thought I was making progress in understanding this better but I was wrong. In the "platform" template there are two attributes that had to be created it seems. There was one named

In an expression field...you can set the value to an attribute or an expression (algo).

Thank you for your response. I do understand what you are saying when it comes to pressing a button for boolean attributes. My main problem is understanding the attributes created for the jumping how-

There a lot of angle constraint post so, maybe i'm missing something

-Constrain Att. Self.Motion.Linear.X To "0"

hmmm... try adding a boolean game attribute, 'game.hitwall'

I don`t exactly know, how your settings are made, but you can just reset every attribute, which is tied to the main actor when the main actor is destroyed and use change velocity, but don`t forget to

Attributes are good to manage cross actor action.

it worked a treat and while i got you you might know this as well, if there is a following actor to the main actor that was destroyed and you want the following actor to fall down when the main actor

I'm rather new to Gamesalad. I have been able to understand a bunch of it right away but attributes seem to give me some trouble. A number of how-to's discuss how to add attributes. I understand that
