@Felix - Did you open the Behavior Playground project, then create a new level? The Behavior Mini-Tutorial (which is what I believe you are working with), informs you to do this. If you create a new project from scratch, you will not have any assets to start with.

Ah ok, it was in the "small letters", also it took me some time to find the folder where it was, since there was screenshots for everything in the tutorial i tought that those where all the steps (note for self: read the small letters with attention from now on, screenshots arent all).Thank you for your help, ill be back lol

Im back already lol, i did a bit more of tutorials but this time when i was doing the rain effect to the pink cloud i noticed that only one particle effect actually works, and that is ggLogo, all others are in gray background and when added they do nothgin, the TGB download might be corrupted?

@Felix- Nope, not corrupted. A known bug (or "oops") with the TGB install is that a few particle files got left out of the release. If you go to the Official Online Docs, I've added a component tutorial that tells you how to get these particles working again. Check in Tutorials->Feature->Mounting, or just go directly to the Particles Resource Frame

Ah ok, after playing a while more it loaded it all up, is this complicated everytime anyone wants to start a new game?

@Felix - Some aspects are more complicated than others. After doing a round of TGB documentation, I became proficient enough to create a game of pong (scoring, game win, game lose, particles, collision, etc) in less than 30 minutes. Definitely the least complicated Torque engine =)

Click on that object, then the edit tab. You should then see the scroller properties.
I think I need to revamp the scroller tutorial...

@Felix - Others seem to be having this problem too. Under the create tab, where you can drag sprites and particles to the scene, go down to the scrollers area. Pick a scroller and drag it to the scene.Click on that object, then the edit tab. You should then see the scroller properties.
I think I need to revamp the scroller tutorial...

Ok, that could work for tutorial purposes, but if i have an empty project, there si no way i can modify any scrollers because there arent any before hand X_X and cant be made X_X!

hope that helps

@Felix - you have to add an image to your project for it become available as a scroller, just like adding an image map, they become available as an image map and a scroller.hope that helps
