Selecting character

Is there a way where I could place a "select character" menu in the beginning of my game? It's a platformer

Ooh, a platformer with multiple characters to select from! I'm interested! But, I'm no expert at that. You should probably ask platformer making experts. But, don't ask me. I'M certainly not one.

Sure you can.  The characters would be represented with game attributes (the purple ones), and you would refer to them when creating a character for the scene.

He didn't ask anyone in particular. Why did you reply then?

I said I was interested, but not a platformer making expert. I just didn't want any confusion.

thanks for the info guys!! hopefully i can get this ball rolling!!

I tried to do the game attributes, but it's not working

Can you post the behaviors attached to your character select screen?

im going to try that. thanks

I just did a character selection for my game, here is how I did:

-First I made the character selection screen, with Actors using the images of the characters, on each actor, when clicked, it would set a game attribute called "Character_chosen" to a number.

-Second, in the game itself there was a conditional that "added actor X to the scene" depending on what was the value for the "Character_chosen"

I think this is an easy way, the one I made actually saves stuff in a list for using different save slots. Hope you can get it working.

thanks docskull im gonna try that
