As of late 2021, we are in the process of updating Stencylpedia and fixing up outdated & broken content. Thanks for your patience!
What are Pre-Shipped Behaviors?
Stencyl includes several dozen of the most common and useful behaviors. Why? Because it's no fun reinventing the wheel or foraging around on StencylForge when you could get the "real" thing out of the box.
To find them, just begin attaching a behavior to an Actor or Scene like you'd normally do.
Then, pick something from the FROM YOUR LIBRARY section.

I'm trying to make a chess-like game where the player has to tap to select a piece, and then if the player taps on a legal square, the piece will slide to that square, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to do this.
How do I make it so that only the selected piece will move to the desired square? And how do i set which squares are legal for each piece?
Thanks for helping!

What about the Health Manager behavior? I have been using it for NPC/enemy health tracking in my game, but it is pretty buggy. For one thing the "Persistent Health" feature crashes my game whenever it is on, so I have had to work around that. I ask because it is not on the list above and I wonder if it is no longer supported?
