Abigayl's Interactive Tutorials (Part 1)
by Joe (Updated on 2012-07-21)
Tutorial 1 - The Basics
CHANGES TO CURRENT STENCYL VERSION:
- Game Center is now Dashboard
- No longer need to make Actor Behaviors; can use "Events" tab instead
- Now need to use "Add an Event" at the top left to make the headings
- If using events, do not need to "Attach to Actor" (still needed with Behaviors though)
- Collisions Groups are now in the Settings button at the top of the page
- Collisions between Actors are now handled by collision events (use "Member of Group" and change the group to "Actors")
Liked this one? See them all!
Part 2: Attributes, Saving/Loading, Kongregate API
Part 3: Advanced Controls, Spawning
Part 4: Mouse-based Shooting, Collisions and HP
Part 5: Music, Screen Boundaries, Backgrounds, Power-ups and More
Part 6: Virtually Lagless Actors

When there are coding pictures, there are already some functions (yellow shapes) already there, but when I do them, they're not. For example, "When Created" is not there or any where. Help!

Stencyl asks me to upgrade to 3.4.0 when I try to load the crash course kit. I click update and it gives me an error. Where can I get the crash course kit files that work with build 8398?

As I cannot reply to all of the comments on here (primarily as there is no notification of when there is a comment), if you have a question, please instead post it in my livestream thread (or from there, come to my livestream and see if I am on to help instantly). You will likely need to take out the spaces that Stencyl puts into links:

(P.S. Yes, I am "Abigayl".)

Everything works fine, but when I test the game, instead of being killed when touching the bad guys, I just go straight through them.
