ah, i see. i never used HP b4, so i didnt kno it could go negative.

im having new problems with the scrolling thing.

i changed the size of the background, and the Hbor/Vbor, and now theres a grey area when u play..

o thats happened to me before. really you just have to play with the Hbor and Vbor until it works (thats what i did)

but i want it to be a certain size oh well ill try something out.

well first show me the background (i might be able to solve it)

384x640

well i experimented with it and when i tried playing the game it turned out to be a black line about 30 pixels wide and 10 pixels high

wat? the background comes out fine for me, theres jus grey access when i play. (i changed the size)

inorite? its wierd, i couldnt get it to work but sir might have to help you on this one. i might try again later

my other backgrounds work fine... they both have scroll but it dusnt do it to them

... ... ok forget that question how do i make it so that when i choose a certain character, it appears in the next stage?

also, how to make different plyrs.

you make different rooms with each character. im not sure about making an object and make it so when you click the thing it turns the object into the thing you want. i tried that with game maker 6... dont know about Game maker 7

i kno that, but i want it so that if u choose 1 character, itll appear in the same room as another character... without having to make over 100 rooms.

to change the character thing u were talking about u just make an event for left pressing that changes the instance from one to another for the character select issue, i would make the big central platform of each stage at the same spot on the room, make all your characters persistent but give them an event if they are have a collision with your little backgrounds that show the preview of your character, that they will stay in idle pose. here, let me try to make that less confusing:
1. All main stage platforms are in the same spot and they line up with the characters preview boxes.
2. Make the characters persistent through rooms.
3. Give them an event that says that if they collide with the character preview box, that they will remain in their idle pose (so that your not jumping around fighting in the character selection room )

i'm still here you know

hey sirtopia i got one for you. I did the scrolling thing but it only works when my characters sprites that face right work. i made it so that it follows both left and right though. can you tell me wats wrong.(yes i made the scrolling thing work perfectly while moving right )
