Hi, I got the kit running now. I created the demo game and changed a littlebit the maps. Now I have 3 questions that I coulndt get answered in the tutorials.


1.
How can i add a simple spashscreen before the game starts?

2.
How can I set the level order?

3.
In combination to question 2. How do I set the goal so the player leaves level 1 and goes to level 2?


Thanks!

1) See the GUISplash class (GarageGames.Torque.GUI).

2) Load the levels in the order you want them to be loaded. This can be done with a level selection menu or randomly or however you decide to implement it.

3) Whenever a conditions are met to leave a level, just unload it and load the next one via the Game's SceneLoader.

Edit: You might have a little bit more luck with general Torque X questions like this in the Torque X forums. There are significantly more people there and they are public, whereas the platformer kit forum requires access to the platformer kit.

I wrote a tutorial in the TDN which should help you create a splash screen.
