Thanks a lot. Both tips worked like a charm.

Your answers are so clear and concise compared to most I get (not that I'm not thankful for them).

If it's not too much trouble I would like another question since you answer my questions so clearly.

I have falling platforms (they fall when you stand on them no problem there), but once I am on it I cannot "jump" off of them. I have to walk off. Any idea of what I should do?

Here is the capx.

Thanks man, I'll look into it here in just a minute!

While I have your attention I would like to ask another question (I've seen you answer many questions on forums).

I have no idea how create a life bar that is of hearts and how to implement it with damage taken or health gained. Can you help with that?

Thanks for answering my original question

I've made it to where I can have it say how many coins I've collected on the top left no problem. I've read that tutorial. I was wondering if there is a way to have an image instead of the word like:

(sprite of coin image): 07

Any help is much appreciated

Thanks to both of you. When I return to my home I will get all of this done.

Hey everyone, I have few questions and my first game will be complete.

-How do I collect the ruby's and have an indicator above saying how many you collected?

-How do I make it to where to screen will fit any screen size being the largest it can be (eg. 800x600, 1440x900, 1920x1080).?

-I have some enemies across the map and I copied them, but I noticed that the copies (not clones I was just holding Ctrl and pressed left click to drag a copy) will not move until I kill the original.

-How do I make the level end once I reach the end?

Last question is what is the difference between a capx and caproj

I am thankful for any help

I finally found what I was doing wrong!

It was just a little mix up in the event sheet. I guess when you're tired and working mistakes will be made and difficult to see where th error was made.

Anyway, it works great! Thanks a lot for your example!

I like your example, but I've tried it over and over for at least 3 hours and cannot get it to work. It seems so simple, but I cannot see what I am doing wrong.

The 1 thing that I don't understand is the "pair" instance variable. How do you get it to say <varies> I have to select either 1 or 2.

Anyone know a tutorial I can watch for creating a tileset in photoshop?

I just got this program about a month ago. I don't have a lot of time to work on this on my own. So it's hard for me to find the answers to certain things. I continue to ask in the forums, but only get minimal success. I figure I can learn faster this way.

I will pay someone to make a small game (1 level) with everything I want and then send me the .capx file.

Once you get half way through and I see that you have done a good job of making what I want (after I explain it to you) I will pay you so that you can finish knowing that you were paid. Please keep it neat and organized as well. If it is done well I may continue to ask you for more lessons.

I look forward to hearing from you

I've read this thread and looked at the examples for quite some time: scirra.com/forum/platformer-jumps-on-vertical-moving-platform_topic47845_post299944.html

I'm just not satisfied with the first example. You have to press jump once and then once you get to the edge of a platform it automatically makes you jump.

The 2nd example is much different than my game. My character's sprite images...well his feet are not a separate image from his body. So my game is able to work with either one of these.

So I am still stuck at waiting until the platform reaches the very bottom or the very top until I can successfully jump off of it. Does anyone know of a different way?

Thanks in advance

Thanks for your all your help. I really appreciate it, but he seems to still have the same problem. Did you not have it when you used this?
