Moving Characters

#1 Post by jhernandezgames »

Hello, I am trying to move a character from left screen to right screen.
Following the tutorial I keep on getting error messages, telling me to add spaces, I add spaces then the error messages say to take away the spaces, what's going on? All I want to do is transition my character to cross the screen.

Pretty simple, you don't need any spaces. Just copy and paste this code into your game and see if it works.

Code: Select all

# You can place the script of your game in this file.

# Declare images below this line, using the image statement.
# eg. image eileen happy = "eileen_happy.png"

image ehappy = "ehappy.png"

# Declare characters used by this game.
define e = Character('Emily', color="#c8ffc8")


# The game starts here.
label start:

    show ehappy
    e "I will move from centre to right, then from right to left."
    
    show ehappy at right with dissolve
    pause .2
    e "I am now standing at the right position."
    
    show ehappy at left with dissolve
    pause 2
    e "I am now standing at the left position."
