Some Questions

Just some questions about TGB..

Q1) Is it possible to make the camera move with the player?

Example


000000000000000000
0-------------------------0
0|
0|
0| P
0|
0|
0-------------------------0
000000000000000000

0 = Game Arena
P = Player
The Box = Camera

I want it so if the player moves up the camera will move up and the bottom line of 0's will be out of sight and the if they walk down it will be insight.

Q2) Is Adobe Photoshop CS3 a good photo editing tool for TGB?

Q3) How do I change the look of the multi-player GUI box? Like when I go to connect or create a server?

1. t2dSceneWindow has some script methods for controlling the camera, one of which is to mount it to an object. Look at the TGB object class reference for listings of all methods

2. yes

Oh and one more thing, is there a way someone can show me a tutorial on how to make a mouse over event for a button in my main menu?

Like a " start game " button and then when the mouse is over it becomes " < start game > " and then when mouse is gone it becomes " start game "

Use a

function [i]insertNameofStartButton[/i]::onMouseEnter(%this, %modifier, %worldPosition, %clicks)

Within that function you can do whatever you want to happen when the mouse enters the collision box of the start button. Make sure you have useMouseEvents checked for the button.
