Hi hi, thank you both. I found the same solution myself and was coming back here to take down the post when I saw this. Sorry bout the noob question, I'm a VERY rusty programmer (haven't worked on anything for probably over a year.)

Sorry, but I do have a new and more complicated concern that's been bugging me for the past couple hours. If there's a chance answer to what I seek, I'd be very grateful.

The game has an auto-scrolling camera, as I said before, which is run by a small invisible "camera dummy" sprite that moves upwards. The scripts are these:




BUT, I cannot get the camera to ALSO scroll up WITH the player. Is it possible to have the camera come up with the player and also auto-scroll up all the time? Have been trying many tactics, but to no avail. What do you suggest?

Making a climbing game, and the camera scrolls automatically upwards, the player must stay on screen and try to keep up, as well as get to the top. Having trouble figuring out how to kill the character when he falls out of camera bounds, not the edge of the level. "Die in Pit and Reload" doesn't work, that's for the edge of the level (tried to edit and it didn't work.) Anyone have advice on this?

Nevermind, I've figured it out. Wow, can't believe it was there the whole time.

Resolved Questions / Adding Controls?

« on: December 31, 2012, 07:03:09 pm »

I'm new to Stencyl, using version 2.1.0, and I'm running into a bit of a problem. When you want to select a control from the keyboard to use in a behavior, it gives you several choices including up, down, right, and left arrows, enter, and actions 1 and 2. I am fully aware that it is possible to add my own controls, and that I'm supposed to do this by going to Game Settings > Controls. I've read this on multiple websites I found before I turned to the forums. But I don't even have a button that says "Game Settings" or any way to get there. Can someone please explain?
