Do I need to create a sub-event for this? And I'm not finding an "open door" command, unless you mean "move to layout".

The current game I'm working on has a system of rooms for the character to enter and search for an object. I want him to walk up to the door, and once he's in front, press a button to enter. How can I do this?

Interesting. I'm always down for word games. Any chance of this making its way to Windows Phone?

Luna, I took your advice (sorry it took me so long to get my sh*t together!) and recut the background. Now it fits fine inside the viewing window and everything is better. Sorry guys for being such a noob! I promise to read the manual before posting silly questions again

Luna, I can't cut the background. The image I uploaded is the same dimensions as the actual background I want to use. When I move it to the viewing window (i.e. the dotted lines), the background lines up fine, but when I put my platforms up there, they look like this:

And this:

Luna, the same thing still happens when I set all parameters to 0, 0. Parallax is 0, 0 and X/Y are both set to 0, 0. The image is also in the Background layer.

Ahh, well that's what I get for skipping the manual. However, why do my plats show up if they're out of the viewing window? And my sprite (though I didn't have it shown), is proportioned just fine when I run the program as well.

Sure. I'll just upload a quick image I made in GIMP, because I'm not quite ready to display the background I want to use just yet

Here's how it looks in my editor, with the trees lined up to the plat:

Here's how it looks when I run it:

The thing is, when I raise my inserted image well above the point I want it, the bottom of the image lines up fine, but now the top of the image is outside of the layout. The image is a .PNG and was created to the exact dimensions of the background, but it just won't fit for some reason.

My settings are the exact same, but for some reason the picture still ends up falling to the bottom.

Hi Luna. Still didn't work, and in any case, I don't want to turn off paralax.

I've created a background image for my game that perfectly lines up with the dimensions, but when I insert it into the game and set the image to "background" layer, it doesn't line up, and my image looks like it's fallen to the bottom of the screen. How do I get my image to stay where I insert it?
